Now at 41 of 49. That’s a whole bunch of 0s in the box score.
White, Cupps, Ivan, and Chatman have played a ton of minutes to have been shutout with just one field goal attempt.

Bench player observations: Grujicic looked very skilled in his limited minutes in the game. Bynum is a big body with a nice stroke. Cupps is too quick to pass the ball away when he is in, like the ball is hot potato.

Bruce and Mobley 57 pts on 30 FG attempts. Not too shabby. Helps contribute to the low amount of shot attempts by everyone else. Also you can't get a shot attempt if you turn the ball over

I don't think Cupps even took a shot. He needs to at least be a threat...

I watched the game and I know we won in all, but it appears others might be thinking what I'm thinking way too early in the season - the "here we go again" feeling that has loomed over the basketball Bucks for far too long. But it's early and we could see improvement with practically a new team on the court.
The bad first - good lord we hate possessing the ball, so many turnovers. That is something that can improve with time. We also don't seem to have any post presence to speak of...most B1G teams are going to have a field day around the rim. Really it was just mostly sloppy play all game in most facets. I hope it's just a matter of a new team meshing, but based on recent years you can't help but feel this team has a cap of being in the middle (or even the bottom) of the conference pack looking at barely getting in the Tourney, and a floor of being in the middle of the pack and squeaking into the Tourney.
The good - Mobley looks improved and one of the transfers looked good (name escapes me). Thornton is a damn fine player with a lot of heart that you hope is contagious to the team.
I'll of course be watching all year, but I don't really see the depth or talent to have a good season. Now please go prove me wrong Buckeyes.

Too soon old, too late smart
Do like having a legitimate 4 in the game, at the 4, not the 5. When the xfer shows up, he'll have to beat out Tilly, and the Croatian freshman. Certainly the scoring needs to be evened out, Thornton cannot be expected to score 30+ every night. Devin doesn't look entirely settled at the 3, hasn't taken the mid-range jumper much, and looks to revert to his playing the 4 days (which isn't all bad, but...). Do believe that the cake is in the over, and rising (or falling) as it cooks. Excuse the food analogy, need breakfast, but I find it fascinating how this team is growing, and finding their levels within the parameters of the team, and who's on the floor at the time. Go Bucks!
