No injuries?
One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike -- and yet it is the most precious thing we have.

The fact that life evolved out of nearly nothing, some 10 billion years after the universe evolved out of literally nothing, is a fact so staggering that I would be mad to attempt words to do it justice.

None. The reserves played almost all of the second half.
The only way we could've "played down" to the level of St. Kat's was to have our entire team showing up drunk or hungover.
It was pathetic to watch.

Not necessarily. We could've been sloppy and not focused. We seemed focused and crisp.
Interesting twist on the Saint Katherine game -- the Majerus coaching tree is involved.

I'm not sure how focused and crisp we were; 14 turnovers against that team was ridiculous, and a lot of them were sloppy and lazy.
On a positive note, I really liked what Ogbe did with the ball in his hands. He's really smooth for someone his size and sees the court extremely well. You can tell that he has a lot of experience running the point.
Well, that was dominating. I'm looking forward to PAC 12 play to see how we stand up to consistent competition.
Quick St. Katherine facts:
102 students?Enrollment: 102 (15 states represented); 19% Hispanic, 11% African American, 2% Asian American, 2% Pacific Islander; 12 different denominations represented.

1/9 of the school plays basketball, those are amazing odds. I recall reading somewhere that they were a player short after open tryouts so they combed the local 24 Hour Fitness and filled out the roster with the best player on the court.Quick St. Katherine facts: 102 students?
When does their Disney film come out?
I never thought I would get bored watching a Utah game. There have been times when I stopped watching out of frustration, but boredom?

From the It Could Always Be Worse Department: Southern beat the misnamed Champion Baptist 116-12.
What a game! I'm two weeks late in posting this review, but I'm sure that everyone on this board is still giddy over the beatdown we put on St. Kattys. It was my first game at the Hunty since Jimmer happened, so I feel like a freshly bathed infant. Some highlights:
- Warmups. St Katherine's didn't even shoot around before the game. I guess if you played SDSU less than 12 hours earlier, you might not need to warmup.
- St Katty's starting center. The program listed him as 6''7' 190. If he weighs 190, Karl Malone barely cracked 200 in his prime. That guy was a tub of butter with glasses and a bowl cut. Speaking of which, how does a guy from Brooklyn have a bowl cut? Shouldn't he be either a gangster or a hipster? Maybe bowl cuts are back, I don't know.
- St Katty's offense. They tried to push the tempo, which is an interesting strategy when you suck rocks. The only time they effectively scored the ball was when we cleared our bench. With PVD, Fields, and Ogbe in the game, they had their 34 year old wolf-like 2 guard run the attack. The guy was undoubtedly an incredible pickup baller as he hit a couple of tough layins in a row. On his last one (basket and a foul) he stuck his tongue out and looked at his bench like he'd just tied the game. The lead was 64 at that point.
- Kovacevic. I'm not impressed. He will be a liability on defense all year. He doesn't move his feet well and he's undersized. I'm not sure he will take any minutes away from Olsen/Lenz. Is it possible we burned his redshirt because LarryKry doesn't want him eating up a scholarship for three years?
- Fields/Ogbe. This is the first extended run for both of these freshman. I'm still not sure what we have, but both guys are really long and mobile. My impression is that the coaches envision a lock-down defender role for Fields - he has the length/quickness, but he's a long way from being effective. He gets beat easily off the dribble because he doesn't stay low enough (instead he relies on his length like Kirilenko used to do, but he's not as long as Kirilenko). He's also out of shape, as he was winded after playing for about 6 minutes. I get the sense that the coaches view Ogbe as a point guard once Wright graduates. He has very good vision and is big for a pg. I'm not sold on his handle just yet, but it wasn't ridiculously bad.
- PVD. The ghost is a heady basketball player. He makes good decisions and shoots in the right spots. He is terrible on defense, however. I think his role will be bench scorer for all 4 years at the U. That's fine, we need someone to fill that role.
- Delon Wright looked really disinterested in this game. Me too.
- Olsen's hands are not good. He drops a lot of entry passes. When he catches the ball he does good things with it, but he drops two or three a game. Reminds me of Ostertag.
- Swoop. Has swoop lost weight? He looked emaciated out there. He looks like a bunch of my high school friends who spent all day doing bench press and never lifted legs. Maybe the chicken look is what we are going for.
LA, you need to be a better student of my (original) posts. I scooped the Deznewz by nearly a month!
Surely you didn't think we would not notice here the glaring absence of any explanation for your failure to paint your chest. (Notice I didn't refer to it as a broken promise, but I could have.)
