So who were the smattering of people watching the game in the Don? VIP’s / Big donors who get an exception? Maybe members of the media can ask UTEP?

oh wait, never mind will never know. Carry on
 
One change I would make is to start Sjolund over Verhoeven. BW already owns the box and Kennedy is a surprisingly good rebounder. Sjolund, opens up the game alot when he's on the floor.

Adam Hess is alot better than I thought when we recruited him. Reminds me of Jarvis Mullahon

Disagree. Sjolund is struggling out there. Verhoeven is awesome on the defensive end of play. This team appears to have enough offensive weapons to not need Verhoeven on the offensive end.

Funny you say that cause I was just about to post that our offensive firepower looks great especially from the perimeter but we are a bit of a mess defensively

Man, I really hate to say that Verhoeven is a liability offensive but he is. I mean, how does he miss a dunk? But he definitely makes up for it defensively. Love his shot blocking ability.

Athletic department employees. Don Haskins Center workers.
 
Onyema with some authority only a few seconds off the bench. We will never see that from Odigie.

Stroud will be missed. Kennedy is just a different type of player.

Agree. Unless we have a guy that can do both, Tydus is easily our best interior defender at the 5. He needs to play. Otherwise Terry could try BW at the 5 with Sjolund at the 4?

Onyema is apparently turning some heads in practice. I can see why with that throw down. I wonder if he can defend?

Thoughts:

1) Verhoeven needs to play a lot because of his interior defense and his potential to rebound;

2) Terry needs to find a rotation and stick with it;

3) Our outside shooting is much improved;

4) There is no way in hell that Vulikic should be getting more playing time than Hess;

5) Odigie’s body keeps looking better but his athleticism doesn’t;

6) We finally have a true point;

7) Boum is ready to lead;

8) Defense is not good; and

9) Kennedy is the new Edwards.

Overall I am optimistic as this team should be competitive.
 
You along with others predicted that he redshirt. I hope not. Think that would be a waste.
Yes I think it was you that reminded me they all get their year back. If he can finish like that then I can see him defending and rebounding too. I'm all about power in the paint.
 
Hoping Vuk was just off tonight. You can tell by the way he moves around the court and passes the ball that he can play. But his shot was broken.

He'll acclimate to American mid major ball.

Randy and Tim made us pull our hair out when they first got here.

That's fine. Let him sit this year. He's not ready. But I don't expect Coach Thomas to get that. He's shown that he is unable to evaluate the talent and readiness of his players and set his rotation accordingly.

I agree. I doubt he will see time on Sunday against Arizona. CRT played the bench tonight.
