I understand he had a horrible sequence but he is our only hope for a respectable season which might still be salvageable at this point.I’d take Harvey all day over keith

That is Kevin Johnson. He was a solid UC player who came out of Wyoming High School I believe - could be wrong but he was local. He was a good shooter and very good character. He earned his seat.Who is the guy doing color with Dan Hoard?
This season is over... This is about next year at this point
The league isn't that bad and Houston is going to blow us out.If we improved, a lot, we could still make a run in the conference tournament. The league sucks. Really all we have to look forward to at this point

I'd bet this is a 3/4 bid league.
As a low seed we are going to have to go through 2/3 good teams to win the conference tournament and that's very unlikely to happen.
Season is over for all practical purposes, just watching to see if/how these guys develop.
On dejulius , yeah, he’s struggling shooting. You could pick apart something from everyone of our players if you want, really any college player, but he rebounds and gets assist and plays hard. I’ll take that.
Agree on DD- love his runner/floater, should use it more IMO.
Harvey playing pretty well, needs to work on strength/explosiveness for
next year. Davenport- not sure he has fast twitch fiber in his body but
generally plays with high IQ. Today, a bad day for him, I thought.
Williams - trying to do too dang much by himself & I put that squarely on CJB. Taking terrible shots, some of which go in. MAW- very disappointed in him. Supported him last year when others discounted. Slow feet,but would like to get him more 3’s, if he squares up & steps into shot.
Today, they didn’t seem to step into the 3 pt shot like last game. Shot it like it was a hot potato & not like Wich St defense was good.
KW has always tried to do too much. That has been the one consistent throughout his career. Even with JC and others it was a black hole when he got the ball...unfortunately he has never had a great feel for the game, has weak handles, and is a terrible passer. He is good in transition and unless his shot is on that is about it.[/QUOTE
Don’t think I agree with that. Rarely shoots unless he’s spitting up for a 3 or in transition. Not like he gets the ball on the wing and takes it to the hole. Did some last year but haven’t seen much this year.
The interior defense on this team is terrible. It's kind of difficult to evaluate how the team might look next season because I'm sure we will have some kind of interior presence. The score could have easily been in the 90s if Wichita St shot better than 25% from three.
Eason is not strong or composed enough to defend the 5, at least not yet. Diarra isn't either. Vogt never has been a rim protector, but Scott made up for that last year.
Small lineups really only work if the small players can defend up a position or create a bunch of turnovers. This team can't do that. I'm still ok with running a small lineup out there because we don't have much of a choice with the current roster. Might as well crank up the pace and try to outscore everyone.
We had our usual silly turnovers, but the passing has been creating a lot of good looks with few stagnant possessions. I'm hopeful that some of these players can be part of a top 25 team in the next couple years if we can get a capable 5.

Add.- LongHaul- My fault, thought you were referring to MAW.. I misread.
Pretty much agree with above. Think KW is a willing passer but often not in position to make a good pass. He’s certainly athletic but handles don’t permit him to make great moves to the basket at times (or dish off).
