We have a special team in MBB this year. Really bummed last night when i sat down and my stadium family told me DiSilva, Williams and Dak were all sitting. Cody still wearing a wrist brace, Disilva visably limping (but no boot). But we win going away, without coming close to playing a clean game. THis team is dominant and we are going to learn alot next week against UoA. This UW team beat Gonzaga and i was talking with some of their fans at halftime that couldnt believe that 2 of our 3 best players and 3 regulars were out of the lineup. THeir best bigman was also absent.
The expectations for this team should be very very high, A P 12 championship and the final 4 are not a reach as we check every box. Athletic, LOng, balanced scoring, good individual and team defense, good to great FT shooting although last night was not good, toughness, rebounding, share the ball attitude. UoA is a similar team so playing them at their place will be a great test. Stupid turnovers are the only consistent problem but that can be ironed out with some focus. I think DiSilva is likely not playing in AZ, but either way we will learn alot down there. I hope the Refs dont do what they typically do in Tucson, which is bend to the home crowd.
The next 3 months could be really fun as we await the FB season. This team has been laying in the weeds but not much longer i think.
