Judging the team from the very first game, in this of all years, is peak silliness.
Yes, they'll have to improve/gel/etc fairly quickly, but I like the overall talent on this team, a lot.
the team would be exponentially better..
Must have skipped reading my caveat. But I was actually underwhelmed with the talent outside of a couple of the young guys.
They won by almost 20 lol
I thought it was pretty easy to see this team is improved from last. Tourney team, no, not yet -- but they look more competitive and diverse in skillset already. I can't say I expected much for the first game breaking in 7 new scholly players, that first half was hard to watch -- but the second was infinitely better. That team showing up long term will compete in many games and win some of them... if it's here to stay.
Can you imagine the board in 1999 after the Drake loss?
If your caveat is the NCAA tournament, in a year with basically 4 returning players, then you're setting them up to fail. An NCAA tournament would be awesome, and it could happen, but it would take a lot of things falling into place just right.
I wanted to see a serious infusion of talent, and I think I saw that today.
Almost 20 isn’t much against one of the worst teams in D1.
No I said If this one game is any indication. I like what they have in terms of young guys and their potential but just don’t see much in terms is this years team. But like I said if this one game is any indication. It’s going to take some building to get them back to be a consistent tournament team.

Why did you mark this post dumb? Clonedude says Foster is a 5 star recruit, no he is a mid 4 star. It’s just facts. He is very talented and will likely become a pro.
I don’t think we are a 8-12 seed without Hinson. Without his versatility, we are without the right kind of 4.
Did not look good at first. I think the second half brings some optimism though. We don’t really know the rotation yet. It could be better than you think.
You marked like 7 of my replies dumb. What are you smoking tonight?
And you're a misogynist.... so there's that. You probably don't support the WBB then, huh?
See I can play this name calling game too if you want to go down that road?
Looks like after today's performance KenPom downgraded our game projections by 2 points; We were a 6 point favorite vs SDSU Wednesday now down to 4.
I think every cyclone fan supports every sport regardless of sport. Misogynistic... what’s a good word for gender baiting?
Very encouraged by how Dubar looked. Kid is jacked for a freshman. You can see that Walker and Blackwell both have the potential to be very good, as well. Love the length of those 3 & the flexibility they give you.
Harris is quick & shot well from 3. I thought JCL was fine, but was hoping for a little more from him. I was not at all impressed with Johnson. Also, I was hoping to see marked improvement from Conditt, but didn’t. Foster has potential, but he looked like a freshman, albeit a tall freshman. He may develop but it’s going to take time.
The Big 12 is really tough this year & it’s going to take this team a while to figure it out. It’s early but I’m guessing we are an NIT bubble team this year. The future sure looks great though!
