Hoops today vs Nebraska?

It’s amazing the Pac-12 Network feels it is more important to televise the rerun of Utah/Arizona football nail biter instead of televising our game against Nebraska. Crazy ! If Huskies were playing Toddlers Middle School JV squad, it would be on live !
 
Pac-12 Network has no rights to the Cayman Islands Classic. I still don't know how you can have a tournament with no TV contract.
 
WSU's radio right holder didnt even send Chaz and Ehlo to this.

So why would Pac12 Network? (Or BTN?)

Bill Moos "beat" Chun at hoops but nobody saw it, so it didn't happen.
 
I think Chaz stayed home because the team will be in the Caymans through Wednesday and he needs to prepare for the Friday AC football game.

Lucky for Chaz that he didn't have to witness another woeful shooting performance, although the second half defense was nothing to write home about either.

Deion James went down in the first half. Sounded a bit scary for a few minutes.

It's still early I guess but right now I'm not sure we get to 10 wins this year.

The offense is pretty awful. Makes me wonder if Smith might be forced to have us slow down tempo to shorten the game.
 
The defense isn’t very good either! Consistently giving up 80 points to very mediocre teams.
 
Smith may be using an uptempo offense to compensate for lack of shooting skills, hoping to get points in transition. That's something EK tried too, but without the emphasis on defense. Unfortunately, you are right, Jourdand. The defense has not been good, especially in the second half in games. I don't know if it's not sinking in yet or the players we have are not as capable of playing sustained good defense due to size and/or quickness....but something has to change or improve otherwise wins will be few.

One positive last night was Markovitskyy getting 6 offensive rebounds in limited minutes, along with a couple of baskets. Negatives include Noah Williams and Tony Miller both having 4 fouls in just 5 minutes of play. Hoping for a better result this afternoon vs. Old Dominion.
