I gotta say, I’m loving Moo b-ball this season. Smoked by Rutgers. 17 second-half points!

Ask your sparty friends, "When does basketball season start? Oh sorry...."

37 total points is brutal. And they say UM is dodging them with the 2 week pause. well we see them in march in the last game of the year so let them keep talking.

I know paybacks are a bitch and I know it’s bad to gloat, so I guess I’m a bad person!
After last fall, this is needed.

They have more than one issue, but when you don't have at least a solid point guard you are in a world of hurt as a basketball team. For as good as we have been, I hate to think where we would be if Mike Smith hadn't transferred in.

What little I've seen from Zeb he reminds me of a freshman Walton and X. also, Brooks was plenty adept to play the point. But you are 100% correct about the smith transfer.

Zeb has been a little disappointing to me so far, but it's early. I recently watched both of our wins over MSU in 2014 and our win over Indiana at home, and freshman Walton in those games seemed a lot more poised. I agree that Brooks can play the point when Smith is being rested but think he's best at the two guard spot and saving some energy for his great defense on the oppositions top guard scoring threat.

yeah you can see that the defense he plays really takes it out of him.

I'll have to go back and look at those games. I do agree that walton and X were most likely more polished and poised but I see flashes in Zeb and that gives me hope. Both the last staff and this have not shown me anything that would make me think that they won't be able to develop Zeb and put him in a spot to succeed.
