I totally disagree with the idea that puke would have beaten us! (MSU is the only one of the 3, I think we don't match up as well to TBH) Maybe we watched different games and maybe we remember differently how well we play against rivals. We look exactly like a 3-0 team because you are what your record says you are! I will pound my chest everytime puke loses and I will celebrate every time we win but to each his own! If me celebrating puke, Kentuck, Cretin, Moo, or Kansas losses causes angst, then peeps should be prepared for a long season!
(BTW: It should be obvious, but....saying X team lost and Y team won does not in any way imply that Y is better than X!) Maybe this idea can increase joy and decrease the angst I caused!
I don't expect to end the season undefeated and I never expect to play our best in November! I do expect (and I saw) incremental improvement in individual players and team dynamics as we move forward! I am a little disappointed in what looks like regression in peeps like Caleb and RJ. I am a little concerned about Bacot appearing to suffer from increased expectations and the weight of outside noise impacting him on the court! I wonder how Hubs will deal with the glut of wings and what he will do to solidify our rotations. I am hopeful that Puff and Washington will soon become and STAY healthy for the rest of the season!
And yesterday was a GDTBATH!
