The team definitely still looks like a work in progress. Time is ticking, but I agree that I think there is enough talent to have a chance for the big dance. I do think we should get our half court defense down before really pressing a lot during the game because it seems like it just has them scrambling. Ledlum looks lost on D and the team is not quick enough mentally (and some physically) to be in the right spots yet. It’s leading to good shots but more importantly a ton of offensive rebounds which are killer. In total, players haven’t found their roles yet, but that’s what you get when you have 10 transfers (3 of which were the top dogs on their previous teams). We got time, but it’s not looking as pretty as we expected. Also love your guys analysis too! Always a great listen.
Another great podcast, Pat, with the usual keen insights from you and Cole and now Max. Thanks!

Lack of continuity was always gonna hurt us. Definitely enough time to turn it around and get us into the tourney.
