No Carr, McDaniel, Pressey or Harris in this one. TU looks to be in visiting uniforms today and WSU will wear bright gold?

Both teams shot lights out in the first half. Whichever team steps up defense in the second half will most likely win. Not sure why our extremely loud PA guy isn’t here today, but my ears are glad.

Two all-conference players in basketball is all you need. Football a different animal for NIL. We have to replace Willis with a shooter and Odom with an all star PG. Not sure what Garcia will do??
 
With Garcia and an above average coach we could win the league and go to ncaa at least we have half of that formula.
Without Konkol being able to recruit a bona fide ready to play actual center, our team will rely on having to shoot 50% from 3s to be competitive. I saw the box score from yesterday and we shot an obscenely high % from 3 and the field in general, didn't have crap ton of turnovers, didn't get outrebounded by a stupid margin...leads to winning games. Defense wasn't great as it looked like WSU had a decent shooting night.

We don't have the shooters that can do that every night. We get games like this a couple times a season but our team is more like the one that lost to ECU earlier in the week. Meh shooting, meh defense, meh everything else. We're a pretty avg. to poor team 90% of the time. Yesterday was one of the 10% games. I don't make these comments to be overly negative but I've accepted the reality of what this team is and is capable of.

And we haven't had a true center under Konkol so I'm starting to think he misses out on them because he doesn't have a true plan for their development and usage in place. And the guys he gets are usually the ones at the bottom of the barrel. Don't get me wrong I like Garcia but he's at best a 4 but he plays more like a 3 on offense. Smikle is a true 4 but not a center and doesn't have the C body type we're needing to be effective defensively. The game has changed so the guy doesn't even need to be a big time shot blocker, just alter the occasional shot when someone comes into the paint and rebound like a freaking beast.
