Our depth and lack of size is going to be a problem. Williams does not play defense and makes too many turnovers. His shooting has been bad since the Santa Barbara game. Test looked good against the two non D1 teams but has not looked good in the other games. He lacks size and plays out of control. He was a walk on at Utah. It was good to see Gardner make a few shots. The other big concern is no coaching experience. Have seen no in game adjustment or coaching that has made an impact. Good example was the Davis game whe we were tied late. An experienced coach would have called time out to set a play but instead Johnson went one on one and turned over the ball.

While I agree to our lack of size being a possible problem, I also see where we have held our own on the boards against Cal....UCLA blew us out on the boards (shouldn't they?).....With Johnson proving to be a consistent rebounder and Lavrenov getting the minutes to prove himself on the boards, when Cherry gets back we should be capable in BSC play....the size has hurt on defense...
