IT'S A TRAP! A couple of ill-timed turnovers and some missed shots, and we're in trouble tomorrow. Have to stomp on the gas early. Held ASU to 15 first half points in Boulder, a repeat performance would do nicely.

As has been said, we were abused in the paint. SHT is not D1 talent and is weak. Carlon could be the go to guy but he has dissapeared when we needed his leadership and shot the most. Also, our screen help opened up significant opportunities for AZ last night and they took advantage. We are a decent team but a couple of pieces short. Glad to see the enthusiasm and discussion around the b-ball team. In the past, nobody would have cared.
Agreed with most of the people here -- we need size. Austin & SHT are doing their best, but we just have no help down there. None. I love Chen (and have gone on record repeatedly), but he should NOT be guarding 4's in the PAC-12. Hopefully Scott & Gordon are ready to play some serious minutes next year, and SHT continues to gain confidence, because we need some help down there. Also hoping XJ can play a few minutes at the 4 too.
2013 recruiting needs to pull in at LEAST one big.

Is Ben Mills a complete loss at this point?
I'm not holding my breath. No knock on the kid, it just hasn't worked out.
It'd be real useful if he could at least be a contributor.
When wasn't he a complete loss? He was always an end-of-the-bench guy.

exactly. I've never quite understood why so many people on these boards were hopeful for Mills and his contributions in the frontcourt this year. Watching him play for ten seconds tells the whole story about him. He does have a few years left, so hopefully by his senior season he can log in ten min a game, but I don't think it's going to happen.

HOW ARE YOU SO QUICK AT POSTING?!?! ... ...man, it's impressive, but wow...sort of weird too
The hope is that he develops his game and becomes less of a bean pole. Just because you sit as a freshman doesn't necessarily mean you sit as a Jr. or Sr. in all cases. It sounds like there is not much hope of Mills making this progress.
You're just slow. That one took forever to type on my phone. :lol:
Except that he's sitting as a sophomore. He played more as a freshman.
I'm not arguing that Mills is that guy. I was just asking. Sounds like he hasn't.
I was encouraged last night. Really thought we were gonna see a repeat of the Stanford game, but they hung in there and made a game out of it in a hostile atmosphere. REALLY NEED to take care of business the next 2 games.
Tunks needs to find his mean streak, and then a big man camp and get to work already. Dude has too much size/length to be this inneffective.
