As stu pointed out, our 3pt % has to be better than 17%....Cone having a 1-10 from 3pt will pretty much guarantee a L against anyone....Askew being out leaves us with no point guards....Mike Meadows was a proven point guard....Losing him before the season started was a key to this type of start....Someone is going to have to learn how to play the 1 or this season will be a loooonnnnggggg one...Oh yeah, does anyone want to tell me Cone is a point guard again?

I have to say this with Cone. He takes off balance threes (like his last one in this game), WHEN HE DOESN'T NEED TO BE OFF BALANCE. I don't care if "he makes them" sometimes. There is no reason for a player of his experience not squaring up and shooting.

Cone came in with a bit of a reputation as a chucker who can get hot sometimes. That is what he has showed so far.

When Kobe Bryant was a rookie he shot the ball like degree of difficulty was a component of scoring. He possessed some of that mentality throughout his career although he got better over time.

I am not saying Cone is Kobe, but I hope he is coachable and he can rein in those tendencies.

From what I saw last night Cone is not his best when he is running the point and what I mean he does not seem to be able to get his own shots. He has to work off the ball to get his shots. Tyson did an admirable job running it but it really showed they need a competent pt guard. From what I have seen thus far Askew is our best answer right now . Hope he can get back out on the court soon. They are really missing him. Utep also had a 14-2 run that took so much energy to come back from. It showed to me they don't give up. Lost by a buzzer beater.

We should see more of Vlad at the point. He looks the right direction and tries to move the ball.
