Just took a look at the OOC schedule, and it’s pretty tough. FSU, Purdue/VCU, tiger high, Cincinnati, Wisconsin, Kansas. And we’ve already beaten Murray State and Washington.

We go .500 or better against that bunch, and it should set us up pretty well for March.

Go .500 or better against that bunch with this roster, and I'm nominating Rick Barnes for COY again.

And I'm not betting against it. I don't think it can be understated just how great of a win that was on Saturday, to travel to a different country and control a Top 25 team from start to finish. Remember, there were more than a few people who didn't think this year's team would make it to the NCAAT.

And I was one of them. I still question whether our frontcourt can hold up over the full season, especially if Uros doesn't make it. But CRB just keeps defying the odds.

Going forward Barnes will need to get more players contributing off the bench....We had that last year but those are starting now. Barnes will do that going forward. Washington had two 5 star big men and we handled them better than I thought we would. Just a good win for this team.

Excited to see Pons this year.  So far his development since last year is amazing.  There were times I wondered if he could dribble last year.

Keep an eye on Olivier Nkamhoua. Still won't have much depth with him, but he is going to be pretty decent this year.

[SmokeyJoe]

I can only assume Kent is a tremendous defensive liability. Otherwise, you have to play him 10 minutes a game.

[SmokeyJoe]

They basically played 6 guys against Washington with Jalen Johnson being 7th with 6 minutes. That's pretty thin depth for sure.
