It's December 11th. I am fairly confident things change before then.
We will be better, but we will probably have the usual cal issues. We must beat teams on athletic ability and rebounding / defense. If we are short on those areas we aren't the last team standing. We've got to become a solid machine in the half court because that's where good teams are going to force us.
Hopefully we turn into what we need to, and it is early.
