Last night was my first LIVE B'ball game this season due to being in Dallas.

Here is what I observed from sect 214:

First Half:
we hit the Defensive boards hard, with energy and early.
we also did a good job on the O boards,
and shot Free Throws well.
...ball movement was good (not great, but good and w/ energy.

2nd half:
we lost energy and got back LATE on the Defensive boards, this caused numerous fouls due to poor position/timing.
we also diminished our efforts on the O board.

..some of this due to SMU picking their efforts up and we did not keep up.

we need a Point guard, our ball distribution is not good, having said that, MANY of our players, including Johnny O, stand around and WAIT for the ball to get to them (LAZY), they do not help our guard by making themselves OPEN and AVAILABLE.

This made it easier for SMU to defend the ball movement.

Hopefully all of this changes once JJ's own group
solidifies.

while losing JOB will hurt, i think we end up with a better record at the end of the regular season next year, like Michael Stringer said, running our offense thru JOB made us very easy to defend at times, but occasionally he'd have a manchild nite like against UK

while those nites were great, i think the fluidity of our offense overall will increase with the types of the players we have

Way way way too early prediction I say we go 21-9 in the regular season next year with a 11-7 finish in conference.
