What Coach Ganot said about the lack of defense with this team before the season started is becoming a huge situation with this team. The losses they had were just inexcusable, including when they had scored 80 in the road at Cal Poly and 73 against CSUN at home. They just got outplayed against teams in the bottom of the conference, and it’s just disappointing to watch. Seriously, I always say this about certain UH programs, “If you can’t beat the teams at the bottom of the conference, what’s the point of facing those at the top?”.

Lately, the MBB and football programs just can’t seem to keep pace in conference lately. There’s some inconsistency issues that need to be addressed. Yes, baseball and softball should fit into the conversation as well, but it’s been mostly with football and men’s basketball. We’re just not able to keep up the pace with conference games, recruiting, and winning games in general. 3 of the last 4 seasons, the MBB program goes 8-8 in conference play. If this isn’t an indication to the program in general, it tells me one thing, they can’t win the BWC title for sure. They gotta find a way to win games against tough opponents in non-conference, and find a way to be consistent in conference play. Even in football, they have NEVER won an MWC title ever since joining there. They won a WAC title, but that even isn’t enough to satisfy the fans. This is where they gotta step up big time after the season’s end for the MBB. While yes, UH will lose what’s left of the 2015-16 season, they could still retain all 3 of the 7’0″ players and find a way to find good athletic players. I always look at this for perspective, but finding good perimeter shooters will probably be the best bet from here on out for Ganot. We have to find a way to get back to being competitive, and hopefully, they’ll find it.

Hopefully pick up 2 wins and some momentum heading into the BWT.

Let’s hope UH gets two wins and the higher seed.
