We are going to need to throw some junk D's out there. By all accounts the press was hot garbage. What about a 1/3/1 half court or match up zone every once in awhile just to keep the other teams off guard. For the last 10 years or so, the so called experts on here kept saying we just need to press as a solution to defense.

We could use a few more of them Akoks. Also, we should run some plays for him...

It's only three games, so it's silly to anoint a best player, but I think (as long as he stays healthy) Akok has a good shot at being our most valuable player (and best player) by the end. His exceptional block rate is one of the few defensive bright spots.

I couldn't believe when Ewing said Brandon was our best player in the post game. That is not something a coach should be saying especially based on the season so far. It sends a terrible message. He was trying to cover his ass for overplaying Brandon last night. I have been a big Brandon fan since Poly but Akok is the better overall player right now. He has looked great on both ends. We have to get him more chances. If anyone watched the MSU Kentucky game last night you saw what a good coach did with a player like Akok.
