Saluki checking in...

Not to be a smartass about the second five comments around here, but surely there are a second five that could play w heart.
The starters are 4 seniors and 1 junior. I guarantee their bench can not hold onto this if they start fouling out.
 
They aren't good
Why? Because UL beat them by 42, 3 games into the 2017-18 season? They won 20 games last year. Return all 5 starters. Return a "6th" starter in Bol; out with a knee injury last year. Picked anywhere from 2nd or 3rd in the MVC.

But b/c UL beat them by 42 last November...they are no good.

Ok.

I’d like amend that prediction of 30 wins....

I still think this team is still going to be really good once they figure it out, but it’s looking like it’s going to take longer than expected. Those first 30 minutes were hard to watch.

As long as we’re ready by UNC, I’m good.
 
Well, that stretch of non-con is

Utah (12/15)
UNC
Louisville

Not exactly a cake walk.
Don’t know much about Utah.
Carolina plays
Stanford
Texas
UCLA or Michigan St
At Michigan
Gonzaga

Then we get UK.
Long way too go for UNC before I start looking towards UK.

Watching Montgomery reminds me of watching Tayshaun Prince.

Nice win tonight. I switched over after the UK game. Miller has really gave IU the much needed injection of excitement.
We are playing bad teams, but...........Defensively I like this team. Holding an opponent to 35 points is solid. Hell we scored enough in our opener(104) to win both games; gave up a total of 90 points. But shits about to change. Up next is a pretty good Marquette team. Then we travel to Arkansas. Gonna find some things out.

UNC also didn’t play Duke in the first game of their season, but you did get Wofford this year.

I’m good with the scheduling. This team doesn’t have an offensive identity yet, so that month will give them time to build chemistry, and get the young guys used to the speed of the college game. They need it.

Don’t worry, UNC will get Dook twice after their freshmen grow & gel together.

Any smart coach knows when a team needs built up vs being ridiculed. Cal is no dummy.
True. Maybe carry a tad more water if he hadn't said this now for 10 straight seasons..:D Its his early season "go to".
