2025-26 49er MBB Game #2 vs Tennessee Tech 11/7 7PM ESPN+

When Bonke goes out we struggle mightily. TTU pushed us literally and really got in our heads. We have the talent to be good but have a ton to clean up.

Smh as to the reason we keep going back to the Princeton style or whatever offense we run that ends up with a 3 pt shot. Got lucky on this one. Another minute we would have lost that one.

We have the depth and athletes to push tempo. Not sure why we don’t when we go small.

We turned the ball over way too much and defense was poor late in the game. We’ll have to play much better Tuesday night to get a win.

With that said…we never trailed in this one. Always grateful for a win :grin:

Think Coach is trying multiple lineups right now and giving bench a lot of minutes, believe these will be more defined as the season progresses

We started 3-1 last season and look how that ended. He doesn’t even seem like he has control of this team…. If we beat Davidson I’ll eat my words, but I expect they take care of business.

We didn’t play very well against pressure. Ball handling needs a lot of work. Guys also really seemed to not be in sync.

Can tell the players are more talented than last year, just sloppy. Hopefully they can learn to play together better as we get more play time together.

Yeah but that’s my point. We won both our games this year and never trailed in either. I get that last year was bad, but the year prior was amazing.

We don’t know what we have so there’s no reason to not be optimistic

Played sloppy and our defense is still not good, but rhe officiating was horrible !
Hackingest and handsiest team I’ve ever seen !

Completely took bonke out of game. Defense was great early but struggled without him

Oh BS…..they got hot late WHILE Bonke was on the bench with 4 fouls. With him in the game we probably outscored them by 15+.

Yeah don’t really have a suitable sub for him when he’s out. Hoping mading is back soon.

Do we have injuries at the PF or C position that we can hope for later this year?

Let’s face it, we’ve basically faced no challenges together

Only the second time these guys have played together. Lots of rotation that we won’t see through the season I imagine. Still learning to play together. It wasn’t pretty but you could see lots of miscommunication that will be fixed as the season goes on.

Also, am I the only one that thought #3 looks like Sideshow Bob?
