Brian: I enjoyed your update and observations of UH guys. You are right, Fotu and Dressler, the potential to help UH is there. They are smart guys, and they have a nose for the ball, good hands, and appear to be coachable..Good for UH MBB! And Harper, the guy can play, really great pickup as a walkon, in my opinion..Defense will come later when, fall pracitices start , pretty sure!!

In reply to jcole. Fair point Jcole, but we're talking degrees here. Score would have been even higher had they not done some of that late in the game. There's just no real defense in these games ... a grain of salt you have to take with summer league.

Something’s not right here. How did one side “get defensive stops,” “hog the ball,” and “milk the clock,” while scoring 111 and giving up 101? The coaches need to restore some sense of basketball reality before the NCAA season starts.

Mahalo, Brian

Having been in games starting with only five and sometimes finishing with less, I think it builds psychological, mental toughness –kinda like: “Never Give Up, Never Surrender!”. Moreso when you still manage to win, anyway…

Demoralizing (to lose) for the other team…

GREAT to see relatively rapid improvement in stamina and consistency by Harper, Dressler, Fotu and Hauns… And three are true freshmen…
