The ultimate gravy-trainer, Josh Pastner. I used to resent him but the doomer in me now I kinda wants to see how far he can get with what little ability he has. The patron saint of mediocrity.

They are for real
Great game, and I agree. Iowa State is for real too. Both teams are tough defensively and have a balanced offense. IMO, the Cats are on par with both teams defensively but lack a similar reliable 3 pt threat. I could see either team reaching the Final Four.

Re: Women’s Indoor Volleyball

Fun match against ASU last night. ASU has a very good squad but UofA played them very tough. If the Cats could reduce their serving errors by half they'd be very competitive. Hopefully they can clear that up as the season progresses because this is a team that could make some noise if they improve ...

Agreed. Credit to Coach for seeing through the BS. Caleb is awesome. Love his passion. Caleb WANTS the ball at the end of a game. He's a threat from three or can drive and get to the foul line - and he stays out of foul trouble but plays good D.
