Yes it is early & yes our team is rough around the edges but am I wrong in saying they are much better coached than last year’s Terry’s team? I feel like we never got into the paint last year.

We’ll see how the last 7:34 goes…

I do know what to think watching a Texas Longhorn men's basketball team that plays like they are coached 

We do appear cohesive with a design in mind in the first game of the season moreso than last 2 seasons

I don't really think we know yet.  we seem to be hitting the glass a bit better.  look reasonable on D.  it's hard to tell playing Duke.  they are good and then you add in standard Duke refball.

With Smart and Terry 9 of the last 10 years it feels like a luxury. Penders' teams gave off the same vibe, too.

It's nice to have a real coach in charge, regardless of what ends up transpiring. Other than being arrested for domestic violence. Almost regardless.

Swain will average 18-plus in SEC play if we give him the ball. Miller I'm sure knows that but for now wants to see guys share. I guess.  

well he's got a chance to win this game.  he's got 8 OOC games against other teams.

This doesn't feel like sharing. This feels like Swaim passing the ball out and never seeing it come back in. It's the first game. Not really complaining. He's just really good and he needs the opportunity to be a difference maker. Especially when this roster lacks them.

I'm looking at the box score and he's got 16 shots, with the next closest Pope at 9.

I guess I want him to shoot every shot. I hope I don't think that, but I would like to see him touch the ball more regularly on every possession.

oh wow, i thought that was clearly off of wilcher. 

I was hoping they would start calling some of that differently.  when the D player pokes the ball, the ball rolling barely off the defenders hand should not be part of the action.

Nice high low from Vokietaitis to Traore. 

Traore is just rusty out there. Couldn't finish.

Swaim directing traffic. I really really like this kid.

Traore is definitely rusty.

"Share" is indeed being generous. The shots we're getting aren't that bad, but we have marginal shooters taking them. Swain needs to be taking at least half of those. He's our only guy I think would get many minutes for Duke.

I’m going to hope Duke’s perimeter D is on another level and our wing players will play better going forward.

the next 5 games will feel like we were swinging a weighted bat this game.
