Obviously if the 3 ball falls, we have a better mindset on how this team looks. That aside here are some things I saw:
1) Love Uzan and Oweh - length on D and O. I thought Oweh had some strong moments and I believe Uzan needs to start at the 1.
2) J Groves is moving much better laterally and can actually guard some people now.
3) Hill is a mystery - and maybe that's just what he will always be. I love that he can guard all 5 positions, but he can't finish at the rim, always seems to double pump and tries to draw contact.
4) Godwin is excellent. Plays within himself and knows what he can do. Love his game. Not a start in the Big 12, but a solid role player, I think. Very pleased with how he played
5) Bam and Sherfield both had really nice spurts. They are both upgrades from last year for sure
6) I even liked the minutes Bijan played - great court vision, I think he had two assists in the first two offensive possession he played.
Even after the first two games, I am still optimistic about this squad. I think over .500 in conference and one win in the NCAA tournament would be a good stepping-stone for next year.
