Forgot to add that Sterling has looked much better than I expected. Had doubts about the release point of his shot. Doesn't look like it's going to be an issue. Truthfully, he's been our third best offensive player after Matas and Isaiah Johnson. He can shoot the cover off the ball, and he's not bad defensively. Bring him off a pin down, put him in a split or staggered screen and he'll be able to score like gangbusters with that shot.

I'll mitigate some of my combo guard criticism and admit Austin Goosby has looked good as a playmaker. Like to see more facilitating from Johnson, however. Questions will remain about their overall ball handling until they face higher lever competition. They'll have good tests against Baylor, UCLA (potentially), Miami and Louisville before conference play. When it comes to post play, haven't seen that Matas has made significant improvement defensively in terms of moving his feet and playing vertically without fouling. It's still early, so maybe it's coming.

Wonder when pundits are going to drop off the Arizona hype train. Remarked several times over the offseason that they don't have an eligible PF and their backcourt is much worse than last season. This played out exactly to form against UCLA. They won't be a top 20 team without major improvement.

As great as the Wemby stat line is, its "historic" nature is a little misleading. They're including the blocks to get there. Blocks weren't officially kept until 1972 I think. Wilt averaged more than 50 and 20 in 1962. Even so, it's been a long time.

Thinking the same about Steven Pearl. Hope Missouri and Tennessee improve soon. Need them to get the SEC to eight top 25 teams.

Early returns on SEC basketball reclaiming a dominant position among conferences are not looking good. Of course, the criminal sooners are an embarrassment as a state, football program and, especially, as a basketball program. Alabama looked like pure cheeks against Sam Houston. Tennessee has looked horrible since exhibition play began. Missouri doesn't look good. Auburn is playing poorly as we speak. Georgia no bueno. On and on. Hopefully, these teams get it together quickly, otherwise the conference will suffer on Selection Sunday.

@Gerry Hamilton Any update on Beckham Black commitment timeline? Is he expected to wait until spring to decide?

Like fore Booker to make some clutch twos in a big game before she shoots a bunch of threes.

The absence of a true point guard against St. Johns was a big problem. Most teams can't pressure like SJ, but it's definitely a potential problem for this team if the guards don't improve their ball handling. It's not a coincidence that Pitino told Jon Rothstein in an interview a couple of days before the game that teams who think they can get away with combo guards rather than true point guards are living in a dream world.

Do you guys have any idea how stupid you are? Like Rams saying they need to bench Stafford.

How did you goobers get this stupid?

Pretty sure SD doesn't know qb from shinola

You guys have flipped out. Aint't no QB competition.

Many chumps getting special treatment. Florida gonna hug ass regrrdless. No court can save idiots who can't make shots.

I want to reiterate that Kobe Bryant is the only player with a winning record against Tim Duncan in the playoffs 18-12.
