I'm really starting to like this team a lot.

Obviously not every part of his game has translated to this level (yet) but I will say, I'm surprised he hasn't been able to show more putting the ball on the floor. Dribble/drive was definitely a part of his game in HS (albeit not the biggest part) so I thought he'd be a little more of a 3-level threat. Just need to keep giving him time to learn and develop...

Right - the nuances of their game are very different. But how fortunate could be to have virtually no drop off on interior production - offensively and defensively - after leaving TJD. Woody sure is making the Oregon coaching staff look like amateurs the way Ware has put it together so quickly

I still don't think it has sunk in just how lucky we are to have someone as awesome as Ware the season after saying good bye to one of our most prolific big men in program history. Absolute STUD.

We will really need Banks/Gunn/Walker to have especially great games.

Auburn just lost to Appalachian State... just sayin. Appalachian State is a good team, to be fair.

He had heart surgery in September

It obviously sucks XJ is injured, but I'll say this... the fact we're winning close games against conference opponents without him at this time of year, is super encouraging IMO. Yes we're all griping about the guard play and there's much debate on Gunn/Cupps/Gallo/Leal. Everyone's got their own view. If there's any silver lining to XJ being out for this period of time, its that our very thin backcourt gets a chance to play more minutes and develop. I think (hope) that will pay dividends for Cupps and Gunn come February/March. Like Stuhoo says. 7-1 baybeee. And......

Huge road win against a conference opponent. We did this without XJ. Gripe about whatever you want.... 7-1, battled the whole time (more than we'd like them to need to, sure)... this team is tough. I think we've cleared the "this is a tournament team" bar IMO assuming no injuries

Wow. Kel'El Ware is THAT guy. So happy he is OUR guy

Wasn't open

Trey looked a lot more nervous than Mack did. Yikes. Glad he made the second.

Let me know when you get that paycheck from IU... oh wait... LoL

Good thinking coach!

Glad our coaching staff was all aligned on this one lol. Lock down the perimeter fellas. One more possession!

I'm sure it's more likely everyone else doesn't know what they're watching and only you are seeing this clearly. That sounds a lot like another poster on this board that people like to beat up on... lol

Are you related to Cupps or something dude? Lol. "Are you even watching the game"

I hate Bardo

Holy **** KW looking like Kareem with that one

Malik is such a bucket. We haven't been feeding Ware nearly enough.

Tough to see him making it on the perimeter. His best bet would be as a stretch 4 IMO. Focus more on strength and bulking up a bit... he looks sooooooooo much more, idk, ginger on the court than he did in HS.

I've never seen a team make transition offense look as difficult as we do this year

I've never seen a player who literally is up and down within the blink of an eye as CJ lol... he can be a huge part of this team!
