Refs have been ridiculous all year. Let them play. We can’t even take a standard jump shot without it being reviewed for a flagrant
 
If there’s any consolation to this really bad schedule, is hopefully it gives our guys confidence and a winning mentality. Team identity looks good and they’re gelling together well. Plus, beating bad Q4 teams by 30+ points is the P5 scheduling method so maybe we’ll get a NET boost for this when it comes out.
 
tried uploading the press conference twice, but both times there's been no audio.
That is because there is no audio on the YouTube video. Wonder if the staff will retry. Otherwise, I suppose everyone can either practice their lip reading or just ad lib the usual commentary.

"I loved the way we competed... We played with great fluidity... I didn't forget to get anyone into the game this time."

Not bad. If you had comfortable in there you would have received the triple word score bonus. 😂

From the article which you can fortunately read:

"When you play [against] a zone defense, you're going to get three-point shots," said Mooney. "I've always talked about that we don't want to live and die with our shooting. We want to live and die with our passing and our sense. So the better passing you have, the better sense you have, the more open those shots are going to be. The more fluid those shots are going to be, and comfortable. I thought we did a very good job of that today."
 
I usually like to throw in a couple player observations but we were playing such an inferior team, it really is difficult to say someone played well or didn't play well. It does say something that we just blew them out of the water, as that is what good teams should do to inferior opposition.

The main question I have is how and if Mooney tightens the rotation once we actually start playing legitimate teams. We have a plethora of inter-changeable players with our bench routinely outscoring and out-minuting in some cases our starting 5.

Whether we are actually a good team or not though is a complete unknown as you just can't make any determination when playing just really bad overmatched squads. We have another one on tap for Saturday.
