Did you expect an entirely new team to arrive over Christmas, or some magic reindeer dust to make this collection of players taller and wider over the holidays? This team is who they are. The freshman are some of the bigger players brought in as far as size in a few years, the returners are bigger, faster and stronger. What you have is a collective group that’s still got a ways to go. Who is just coming back from injury or missed time from injury. [/QUOTE]Not at all. Maybe you missed these parts of my comment.

we ain't there yet.

Gonna take some time, and that's okay.

Some of that's on the guys/style Saul recruited. Some of that's due to Boals not having a full recruiting season/schedule. It's going to take some time but we HAVE to address this.

Pretty simple to see what happened in this one: WMU made the plays late to seal it and Ohio didn't. It's a young team with flaws and there will be growing pains.

Still, hard to argue the grit they showed after going down big early. Really needed those threes from BRod off the bench to help stop the bleeding. Nice to have a young guy who can step up like that. Loved seeing Murrell get back into the swing of things. That dunk he had in the 2nd half would have been a crowd riser at home.

They'll be fine eventually. A game like this is a learning tool.
