If we don’t have more than this, we will be lucky to win 2 games in the conference.  We have zero team defensive skills.  Not much for individual defensive skills.  An offense that doesn’t generate anything.  We have 5 assists so far.  30 percent shooting when we don’t turn it over - which is a third of our possessions.  No shooters other than Trey.  Ouch…. Finally a few minutes of pushing up the floor resulted in a couple good looks.  Need that more - half court offense is nonexistent.  CSU is good but we don’t look like we belong on the floor with them.

Can’t let last nights result weigh too much on our outlook but I do fear this may take time. I still think we lack that PG that can create for others. Mier can handle the duties but feel like he would be a better slasher. Eaglestaff could maybe do it but he’s also the guy that needs to score 20+ for us. 

Also, we need to figure it out defensively. Seems like we have some of the attributes to be relatively good defensively, minus a post defense, but not sure we have the want to be good defensively yet.

We have 0 rim/paint protection on defense. It’s always going to be tough to be a good defensive team when you’re missing that piece. 

Not saying it’s impossible, but it certainly makes it way more difficult.

Luckily, there’s not a whole lot of post bigs in the league that are in issue, as of right now. Cluff with SDSU will be tough.

Not necessarily talking about post defense. 

Talking about someone to protect the rim on drives. Team defense is hard when you have 0 rim protection.
