This NDSU team hasn't been able to score in their three games so far this season - all three games below 1.00 points per possession, and the competition has been very weak. They'd like to slow the game down because they can't score efficiently enough to keep it close in a horse race. Oh after losing to lowly UNLV last night, they slept in Vegas and took a bus in today.

None of this bodes well for NDSU. Cats are going to feast tonight. Looking forward to another fun one.

Can you imagine that bus ride from Vegas to Tucson to play Arizona tonight? It would be like taking a hay ride to eat at Chipotle and then getting dumped off on campus for your dance class "final exam" pirouette-laden solo performance to Jerkoffski's symphony in R minor.

Wish I could travel to the game. Hope we sell out the arena soon.

I was doubtful that it was just overmatched teams but he is much better moving on defense and light years on offense.

So they only scored 10 points in a 7 minute period. Why isn’t any complaint like the old days?

Terry is someone else that is playing much better. Again we need real competition to get a real gauge but they are have a very attractive style that recruits like. Get some big wins and it will be a big step proving we are okay.

Some of those calls were pretty odd, but at least they were consistent, regarding charging calls anyway.

No idea what happened with the foul on Tubelis on the FT rebound, and another odd call on Larsson.

Speed and composure makes a team dangerous. As competition improves our composure will have to follow suit to keep up with our speed. Time will tell.

You can see that Ballo is improving. I believe working with Koloko in practice is making a difference.

Wow.
This team is 127 in kenpom so an upgrade from the last two games.

Playing really well against them.
Arizona State might have the most surprisingly anemic history in men's basketball of any program that you might think is better than it is.

Ballo reminds me of Sean Rooks. Slow starter, but developed into a decade long NBA player.

Nice to see bigs blooming quickly under Lloyd's system. Other than Ayton, how many raw bigs under Sean sprouted like Ballo and Koloko are doing here?

Another omission I'm glad to note: no illegal screens and chicken-wing Ira Lee fouls .... so far anyway.

Maybe Koloko? If he was able to get off season last year we might have seen more. He is certainly fouling less (although he has 4 now).
