We haven't had guards as tough as these guys in years. They are relentless. They stuck a dagger in the CSU players last night when they cut the lead to 7. They had all the momentum and then in a flash we were back up 20. So yeah, I like their toughness so far.

I am curious how we would stack up against better competition, but this team is fun to watch right now.

I'm getting closer to thinking I can pin down a win total for this team. I think they can win 22+ this year. CAN. Doesn't mean they will. There isn't a team on the schedule that should scare these guys. If a couple of the shooters are having a good night, and Jalen Harris continues to dish out so many assists, they can beat anyone.

Speaking of this, Mike called a time out at that point, but I don't remember our team using time outs other than that one time.

There was never really any need to other than that one time. That's a very good sign. Especially in the road. Hogs controlled that entire game.

This team actually does remind me a LOT of our old teams that were real good. That game last night could have easily been way worse than it was. We didn't defend the perimeter as well as we could have. I mean, teams are always gonna get good looks at deep balls against Arkansas, but these guys had actually been defending the perimeter better than I expected. Until last night.

If they had forced a worse % from the 3 point line, that could have been a 35+ point victory on the road.
