AFTER 3 YEARS, TIME FOR ROZITIS TO BE A 6TH MAN OFF THE BENCH, IF NOT A CONTENDER FOR STARTING ROLE.

pocho, yeah it is rah rah, you are right,

Gib will make sure D first, then can translate to early offense, exciting runouts, fastbreaks, lobs and flush, spot up 3’s , etc. 6,7 D stops in a row, you can win a lot of games at SSC and on the road..DEFENSE..same with Norm’s Football team, if they have good kicking game, special teams and Defense, they can stay in ball games, and win some!!

DEFENSE MBB!!

For many fans, I think its hard to “bond” with the team since so many players are new. In that sense, it sort of like baseball or volleyball where you enjoy the game more when you know the players and that takes about a year or more. Hopefully, this group will stick around, show us an education first attitude, and play hard individually but harder as a team. If players continue to leave en masse, then it may be symptomatic of a problem with the program and that starts with the head coach.

It’ll all depend on the point guard position, UH hasn’t had good point guard play in a long time.

Thanks, Brian

Good Start on Gib’s “Chess Game” of getting the right guys in the right combinations…

Although very deep at 4 & 5, I think it’s notable that for a Euro-Pro, Oz seems able to play 2, 3 & 4 surprisingly able to at least slow down, tie-up or distract Christian Standhardinger as well as anyone in the summer league. That surprised me and I suspect the Vander- Standhardinger – Fotu – Hauns – Oz – Rozitis – Dressler front-court may be driving the Big West crazy with mostly Long Beach and next year San Diego State able to mount a strong front line challenge.

Ah, but can the backcourt hold up in the wing-rich Big West?

eleven players who will hit the court as first timers attired in a hawaii jersey will be something to behold.

its gonna take some time this time.

but, hey the fabulous five arrived all matriculated to the beach at waikiki the same year didn’t they.

it’ll be fun.
it’ll be amusing.
it’ll be interesting.
it’ll be a test in patience for all. coaches, players, and fans.
