I’m posting this early, because I have a very important question.

I’ve decided to try the updated fare at the Reynolds center. Anybody have any dinner recommendations?

There is only one new entree type item available.

I don't know how to recommend a new item when there's only one to choose from. 🥴

The new tacos are good though, but be prepared to wait 10 or 12 min on them.
Other than that, the Cheddar Brat from siegis is always a good go to, on the items they already offer.
I haven't had that new dessert they offer.

Free snacks are good. My expectations are always lower for free stuff. Your Champions Fund card is handy.

Isn’t there a churro parfait?

I’m considering risking diabeetus to try the churro parfait

 

[Henry Kendall]

Nikita K is out of his boot.

 

[TU65alum]

But still limping a bit.

DO IT!!!!!

 

[Henry Kendall]

Are we not gonna throw it inside against their zone? We are getting outcoached by a 1-11 team

 

[loca2874]

This is a rough game after 10 mintues

 

[mcane]

Konkol needs to apologize after this half
Embarrassing just jacking up 3s
He clearly does not know how to coach offense against a zone
I’ve seen this in several games
The size of the crowd shows dwindling support

 

[t-townpod]

Playing the zone fine. Just not hitting open shots inside or out

The players still have to execute.

 

[I.I.]

Good zone offense. Need to execute

 

[loca2874]

We starting to make it happen here at the end of the first

 

[I.I.]

We will win. Just need to string together a few runs.

Meanwhile the women are having a more impressive game.

When does Konkol finally have Pritchard and KES ride the bench for awhile?

 

[Henry Kendall]

Halftime report:

Game: surprisingly bad
Churro parfait: surprisingly good

hopefully the second half is suprisingly better

Women dont watch their fouling they wont be having that impressive of a game.

 

[I.I.]

Can’t get beat on back cuts twice in a row. And our 2 bigs trying to run a two man fast break 😂

 

[I.I.]

The high post guy does have a shooting option. Wide open.

 

[nevadanatural]

I missed the first half, I saw the 7 game time and forgot where I lived.

You were better off

 

[Tulsafanzz]

Pritchard playing well in the 2nd half.

We figured out every one of our players are stronger than theirs & we’re just driving it inside .

 

[t-townpod]

That’s because we played good zone offense and drew them out of it

 

[nevadanatural]

I thought Dalger had that steal and was fouled by the other player but the ref didn’t agree with me.

 

[nevadanatural]

Looked like a clean block by Pritchard on the replay.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

I was distracted for much of the game, had to watch it at home and take care of some business that couldn't be avoided.

I swear, I believe Chukwu is outpacing Knight and McWright in how much progress he's making on improvement in his first year. It should be the other way around.

Chukwu is getting more meaningful minutes because special k is not available

 

[Gmoney4WW]

I'm perfectly aware of this. It is not to what I was referring. Simply referencing the speed at which Chukwu is coming along being more advanced than what one would expect.

I know what you were referring to. My statement went to support what you were saying is that he is coming along faster because he is getting more meaningful minutes.

Although I am really impressed with those two guards, I agree...
Chukwu has the gift to strongly stand his ground in the paint
without excessive fouling....

Even with the height we have coming next season, with continued
improvement he might well end up being our rim protector going
forward...His strength and size are great assets....

I keep thinking that Selebangue might be a good fit at the 4.....
