With this inconsistent bunch, who knows what we will get.  We are talented enough to beat anybody in the Conference, but bad enough to lose to anybody in the conference.

Better come out rocking and act like we care about being in this game, cause ole ECU is 7-2.  Not sure that means anything as their wins are not that impressive.  

Did we expect better than 6-5, 2-3 record at this point?  I know I did.

We lost two we should have won. I am betting 500 at this point.

Well we also won 2 we could have lost.   So, pretty much are .500 at this point.  Still I think we were all expecting a little better than that considering the talent.  Murphy and the other new guys though are exciting and should give us some hope for the future!

We are not a consistent team, Yetna has been disappointing which I attribute most of that to his recovery.  Collins may be hurt but has been inconsistent, Brown was terrible last game but overall about what we expected.  I think Castenada has improved, definitely in shooting.  Chaplin has been a nice surprise and has exceeded expectations.  I can see why Tchewa transferred, he needs some work but has potential. Durr is about what we expected, Murphy is gonna be lights out but makes freshman mistakes and turns it over too often. Luke Anderson is non existent and Williams is serviceable like we expected.  I once again had on my Bulls colored glasses and thought they would be better. I think the biggest reasons are Yetna is not Yetna, CBG has been underwhelming and Collins really has not become the force I was hoping, he plateaued and turns it over too much.  I am beginning to think Brybull was right all along on CBG.

Same...but I bet BG will get a multi-year free pass from Kelly due to the crap he walked in to.

I hope everybody understands that I am not calling for CBG’s  head, the team is watchable most nights and is very competitive.  I still like the guy and think he has done a nice job, he is fortunate the bar was so low before him.  I am disappointed but as a USF fan that is normal, it is nice to at least have expectations even if we don’t meet them if that makes any sense.

In what way has he been underwhelming, you pretty much went through the players that are under performing? If it's because of recruiting those players, I guess I get it ...... but the two players getting kind of positive reviews are from his last two classes. Hopefully that's starting an upward trend.

His team was not ready to play on Wednesday, that would be underwhelming and that is on him. The entire team is his guys, I know he took Collins and Brown while trying to put out a dumpster fire but it is his team and they have underachieved in my book. I am with you though on the recent get, Murphy is really exciting and Chaplin has shown a raw talent that is exciting as well.

I am not calling for his head either but at some point .500 or lower is not going to cut it now that a base has been established.
