I just finished watching on DVR. My observations: 1) Goodwin's gotta slow down. 2.) Thatch should start. Isabell can come off the bench as a sort of an igniter. 3) Jacobs needs more grooming. Too many bad passes. 4.) Javon Bess has got to stay healthy. (Captain Obvious comment). 5.) Foreman- love him and hate him. Gordon's a lot better. 6.) I guess the PAC 12 allows the Eurostep. If I was a ref they would have been hit wit a bunch more travels.

Who gets his spot? Jacobs or Thatch?

As Rosana Rosanadana always said: it's always something.

And here's hoping the Bills offense shows up too!

Bet I could sell my contraband Jordair t shirt for a lot of money down under.

One observation on Foreman, it seems almost every time he gets the ball he tries to put a move on his man and drive to the hoop where he runs into a log jam? He rarely looks to pass or kick it back out to an open man.

With this offense I worry about them all. Not gonna worry about FSU and Houston, though. I hope to be pleasantly surprised.

I'm just worried about OSU! Must win game!

And we always play so well when we travel to the North Pole.

Time to end the Isabell as PG experiment. He's a 2!

My concern is if we don't have shooters now we can't rely on the cavalry to save us. Better figure out other ways to score.

I think we're in for a bit of a surprise as to just how good VCU and Dayton are going to be this year. We all pretty much thought the A10 would come down to St.Joes, Davidson, and GM as our biggest threats. I think you can add the Rams and SVU to the mix at this point. We are definitely going to have to step up our game come conference time.

This game turned out just as I feared. It wasn't a trap game as SIU is a decent team. It was a road game, coming off a sugar high of beating Butler, Bess not at full speed (this should concern us going forward), and SIU hot to beat the rival team getting all the ink this season. Still, our offense does seem totally effed up. I don't know what the problem is but am reluctant to say Travis Ford is a lousy coach but marvelous recruiter. It's still a new team on the floor. Give them some room. Let's put off judgement until about mid January.

Score. Can't get this anywhere?

Way more scared of this game than Butler. Even before the uncertainty surrounding Javon, never felt this wouldn't be a difficult game.
