Is this sustainable?

The effort and defense are sustainable, the wins are not. A team with a five star high level isolation player won’t be as effected by our defense. A back to the basket 7 footer may also be a problem. Defensive rotations to double the post have been really good but there is a point at which bulk wins. With the coaching in the big 12 it’s just a matter of time till a weakness is identified and everyone tries to exploit it.

enjoy what we have. There will be losses or loosing streaks this season. The team and philosophy are worth getting behind and being proud of.

Better question: was that Leath next to Pollard in the crowd?!

Not only sustainable but it's certified 100% orgasmic. ;)

I just doubt King is going to be eligible next semester. Would love it if he was

I knew Tyrese Hunter had the potential to improve rapidly over the season...I'm seeing a little of it from Enaruna too which is very exciting.

I thought Brockington would be our best player but had no idea he'd play this hard on both ends. The guy is like a bulldog out there just tearing apart the other team and it doesn't matter if his shot isn't going down, he's still going to make their life hell.

I love our energy and effort. This team plays with intensity and heart. Playing in one of the best conferences in sports, it hard to gauge where this team is at right now, but nothing has shown that this team will not be able to compete and continue to turn some heads.

Depending on your expectations, but I think it is. It's not like a lot of these games have been squeakers, we've dominated most of them.

I think we can win more than 50% at home, pull out a road win or 2 in conference, and I'd call that a pretty big success.
You think we’re only winning half our home games the way this team played last night? Are you watching the games?
