I think I heard announcers say that either Texas State Or PVAM beat Colorado

[mikalalas]

And that they will play Cal.

Maybe PVAM is pretty good, because they Or Texas State beat Colorado this season.

The PAC 12 media, others have picked Colorado to finish 6th, 7th in PAC 12.

Combine that with WSU Frontcourt being out for the PVAM game, PVAM shooting 57% from LOTS OF 3'S, PVAM playing buts off, PVAM Or Texas St beating Colorado, WSU blowing out Texas St, by 22, WSU ALMOST BEATING BOISE ST., WSU Blowing out EWU BY 26, and because of all that combined together, maybe PVAM is just a FLUKE, BUT A LEGIT FLUKE.

Neither beat Colorado but Texas State is presently beating CAL.

You sure that neither beat Colorado?

I'm pretty sure I think I heard the radio broadcast announcers say they beat Colorado, and that they were going to play Cal next.

Grambling State (and Boise State) beat CU.

Texas State beat CAL by 4. CAL hasn’t won a game yet they must be pretty bad. One thing WSU might have in its favor is the PAC 12 looks to be week.

Ok that explains what I heard, guess I misheard, misunderstood what announcers said.

Sorry about that.

Yes it does. Stanford, picked to finish 5th, or 6th, looked absolutely terrible in 1 of their games, and unlike WSU they had no legit excuses.

So Colorado, Cal, Utah, Stanford, PAC 12, etc, hasn't looked good so far.

In todays basketball world retention may be second to only recruiting. How nice would it be to have Jas Kunc right now

CU has wins over:
Nebraska, UC-Riverside, #11 Tennessee, and #24 Texas A&M.

Losses to:
Grambling State, UMass, and Boise State.

Crazy start for that program.

Too much roster volatility now with a wide open portal. Wholesale roster changes for nearly every team means it takes a lot longer to develop chemistry and for teams to gel. That leads to inconsistency. We are seeing it happen with the Cougars and for most other teams in the Pac-12 and beyond.

Yeah, WSU has AWESOME players and a AWESOME team, and played either AWESOME, pretty good vs Texas St, Boise St, EWU, but then LAID AN EGG, WET THE BED, vs PVAM.

That will happen to any team in the Pac 12, and any other conference, that has ALMOST WHOLE, ALL OF TEAM LEAVE, get REPLACED BY AWESOME NEW PLAYERS, THAT HAVE NOT JELLED, DEVELOPED CHEMISTRY, LEARNED TO PLAY TOGETHER YET, and then has almost whole, almost all except 1(Gueye), in the frontcourt OUT.


But as bad as that is, was for WSU, WSU is not the ONLY team dealing with that.

There are some other teams dealing with those same issues, and that's why have been inconsistently playing good, and laying eggs, and wetting the bed too, IN THE BEGINNING OF SEASON.

Once WSU, other teams JELL, develop chemistry, learn to play together, get healthy, etc, they won't be as inconsistent.

Those who jell, get chemistry, play together faster then others will have an edge.
