In reply to cappie the dog. Yep. Brocke was definitely out of sorts.

The team that won the Big West and beat Cal in the 2016 NCAA Tournament seems long gone now. Those players were recruited by the previous coach. Eran Ganot has to prove he can recruit top notch players like those. If he can’t, then UH is destined for a long stretch of disappointing mediocrity.

Mr. McInnis: I am disappointed that Coach Ganot didn’t start Brocke Stepteau. I could tell he was a little down. From my angle, I saw an assistant coach drape his arm around Brocke’s shoulder as the team walked toward the final huddle before tipoff. Stepteau looked a little sad.

You could tell he was a little rattled. He missed three free-throws in a row.

This walk-on from Dallas paid his own way to be on the team for three seasons. I think the coach needs to trust him. The revamped starting lineup did not get Hawaii off to a particularly good start so it was all for naught.

I went to the Wichita State game.

At the end of regulation, if I recall correctly, Hawaii wins if they grab a defensive rebound. The Shockers sent the game into overtime on a second-chance bucket.

Benjy Taylor and Garrett Nevels kept the team together. Nevels, in particular, did yeoman’s work as team leader. He was like a horse whisperer. I think he convinced Isaac Fleming to stick around.

I like Eran Ganot. He is going to run a clean program. He won’t put us on probation.

But had Benjy Taylor won the Big West Tournament, how do you get rid of him?

We need to recruit hard for next year. I’m not expecting jessiya villa coming back from his mission to have much of an impact—hopefully i’m wrong though. It will be interesting to see who Ganot can get.

Colorado. Reminds me of 2014 we beat Nebraska in the first round, took #11 Wichita state to overtime, then beat Colorado in consolation. How can we get back to those times?
