In response to KenZ
i'm with jkrun on this, way to early to panic. lot's to work on, but plenty of time. ran into a very athletic team that played very well tonight. how were we all feeling after the Butler game last year?
Yes, certainly no need to panic. A lot of work ahead but I expect things to improve. I really would like to see them work some on the matchup zone however. Also a healthy Kimbal Mackenzie would help. I assume everyone noted he was shut down for the night a couple minutes into the second half. It's obvious his injury is affecting his play significantly. If his health doesn't improve the next few days, it might make sense to not let him play Wednesday night. Definitely need him to get healthy.
One slight silver lining in the dark clouds: Zach Thomas now ranks 7th in the nation in KenPom's POY rankings:
