too much talent to be this bad forever..... we need a good win over a good team! this will cure most of the mental problems we are seeing now. play more on ball pressure; if we get beat so be it, but at least we are not giving them free looks and Kaufusi is always waiting for the ball to come into the key. I hate seeing the Cougs play so bad; I'm afraid it is going to take some time to gel this team. Rose has little time to see what the second five are going to do, he needs to get the first five playing like a team. let the second five know the way to gain PT is by playing tough defense and team ball, instead of thinking everyone off the bench is supposed to be "instant offense". I haven't lost the faith, but it is tough to see such mediocre play from such talent. I think every team will come in thinking they can beat the Cougs this year and attitude is a important part of the D1 basketball. they are all great athletes, attitude separates the best from the rest. right now the Cougs are trying the fan's patience, but we must hang in there, too much talent, too good of coaches, to be this bad forever.
