Let me remind you that this is a new team. Chances are it'll take all of the pre-conference season to get them playing together,knowing each other's idiosyncracies, automatically adjusting to each other. You've got two freshmen out there playing pretty long minutes, a couple of transfers. Add, these are students not professionals, with classes to pass; they can't practice and think basketball 24 hours a day. Let's keep the expectations reasonable. Against Cal Poly we played a pretty good game, all things considered. Look at the stats; shooting was excellent, threes were fine, free throws - we need work there. Blocking was poor, getting to the boards terrible, defense was tentative, not to say lackadaisical. They should watch the women's team; talk about scrambling! And assists - this is very weak. This is still a team of individuals. No one has emerged yet to pull the team together, feeding assists. Lots to work on. Geving's probably frustrated, but he's got to be patient. It takes time. The coaches thought we'd be around fourth in conference. I still think we'll be better than that. Check back again in a couple weeks.
