So we used to be one of the best shooting and best defensive teams in the country - now we are neither. What is our identity? I was going to do a post about that - but I think i will wait to see what the boys do tonight. Winning two toughies on the road (UCLA, UA) and then dropping two at home (WASU, UW) is bizarre. Who are these guys?
Are we a team based around our star with no complimentary pieces? Are we a fully functioning team who has had some bad luck? Do we have shooters? Do we pound the paint and get to the line? What is the deal guys?
I have faith in Sendek to figure it out, but the last few weeks have been baffling.
We are playing an Oregon team we demolished in January - 76-58. Oregon is not a good basketball team this year, they are 6-15 and 0-9 in the conference. This is a game we need to win.
