4. I think Colina is really the only disappointment so far of the 3 bigs. I like Carper, he’s gotten stronger and looks better out there, but he’s slow so he struggles against the small athletic 6’8 big men that he’s tasked with guarding at times. I think Owen Hulland will be good, but hopefully his career at UH isn’t cut short by injuries. I think he could be a Stefan Jankovic type of stretch-5 player this team.

3. UH shots lights out from the 3. … 42 % to S Dakota’s 35.7. 8 for 19 for UH to 5 for 14 for SDakota. Avea was 4 for 6, Eddie 3 for 6 and Hemsley 1 for 3.

#3 – my point is why the coaching staff signed these 3 big slow players? they are only taking space on the bench and when they play they are not contributing but weakening the team. you need to be more selective in recruiting, to assure that they can contribute. the only “big guy” is the da silva, who shows some promise but as a freshman, he is not there yet and has to become strong and develop more. even raimo was made silly by the south Dakota players and they were not the big men on the team. quickness and jumping ability of 6’5 to 6’7 players are much better than 7 footers who can only tiptoe and not even dunk.

I think most people realized that long before this game even took place. If this team pressed more they would have given UH way more trouble.

just as I predicted, the big men (7 footers) are the weakness of the team. they are too slow and cannot shoot. south Dakota had some very quick front people and they ran circles around carper and the foreign guy (name escapes me). And I don’t see why when they are close to the basket, they dunk instead of trying for a layup. many of those layups did not go. wonder if they cannot jump.
