This. I know it's a broken record but I really don't get why Miller loves him so much.

That was a craptacular half. I know we're down 2 starters, but we should still be able to easily handle Chico State... hope Miller works his half time magic.

It's encouraging to see Ira's feet under control. Koloko's footwork looked OK too.

Koloko looks great for a kid who is seven feet tall and has been playing organized ball for like four years.

Not a sincere response, but there’s nothing Miller loves more than a ballstopper who can’t score.

This exhibition exhibits how Smith off the dribble will be the lynchpin of this year’s offense.

Hazard is the only player with a convincing 3 point shot. Maybe Gettings. Mannion looks like he’s jack-knifing away from the basket when he shoots from 3.

Why Dylan Smith is playing over Baker is a mystery to me.

That personnel decision ranks right up there with Lutes decision to play Joe Mclean over Dickerson

My thoughts:

Baker becoming eligible is going to be huge.

Everyone underestimates Ira

Josh Green a a bulky stronger Nick Johnson

Nico is going to be very good but I'm not seeing 1 and done good.

Stone Gettings looks like an Eller Student.


Dylan Smith needs to lose eligibility.

Gettings is more athletic than Luther was. That’s going to be useful at some point. I’m an Ira fan too.

Dylan Smith. We were all so hopeful he’d play his role... and yet here he is, red shirt senior, taking mid range fade aways and passing the ball into Jeter’s shins. An offense with him out there is handicapped.

If Dylan Smith was running into his bedroom and found a naked porn star waiting there for him he'd still pick up his dribble.

When are these Refs gonna grasp that this is the Pac-12 and start calling fouls every 10 seconds?

What proves Dylan Smith so damn pedestrian is that every motherfucking one of us could have missed that FT just as well.

I’m thinking he should shave his hair just to reset the shooting form. And improve the aesthetics. Which aesthetics you ask? :)

It's fun to watch Nico in the fast open court, but in the half court with the clock low Baker is the one. Baker will be very important in the Illinois game.

Better second half and a good learning experience. Hope they fix the shot clock over the weekend.
