While we all have been use to seeing this program hit a road bump in years past, I must say, I got a bit ahead of myself and thought we would be able to win out the rest of the way after the Oregon game. Then Boulder happened & obviously SLC happened..perhaps the worst road trip in the Conference..our guys were tired & it showed in both games. It happens & losses will happen, 2 more MEANINGFUL games back home in Southern California. I’m in. Fight on!

There was a stretch in the first when USC built a lead and I thought we’d coast against the Utes after that, but nope. Colorado was going be a tough out. Utah should have been a W. But can still win conference by winning out.

And that was when they scored all of their baskets in the paint without Evan being a factor..I honestly don’t know what happened after that.

Let's be a little honest here. We are nowhere near the most talented team in the conference. We have one player who will get drafted and play in the NBA. I.Mobley,a nice role player, we can all agree was an overrated 5* recruit. We have some nice pieces that came from lower division one programs where they didn't dominate at that level. I asked this question on this board a few times this year. Where do you believe this basketball team would finish in the conference without Evan Mobley? IMO, at the very bottom.
We are all very disappointed what has transpired lately but the team can't lose its focus and this season and its history is still to be written. We haven't played our most important game or games yet. This is where the coaching staff has to bring the team together and get re-energized. Just about everything they wish to attain is still in front of them. Fight On!

who are you and what have you done with Globe? 😂

We've won games against a few teams without much contribution from Evan.

Perhaps that's because he draws pressure anyways, which opens things up, but I think we would hover around 6th without him and that's mostly because our defense would fall.

Enfield has called I Mobley our best interior defender, Tahj would be playing a larger role on the team earlier and hopefully Drew would be playing better throughout the year. Goodwin could easily go for a DD a night with more playing time.

Of course... If you're going to make this claim, make it evenly across the P12, ask: are more dependent on Evan than the rest of the conference is on their best player?

And the answer may STILL be yes, but take Col without Wright, AZ w/o Akinjo, ASU w/o Martin, Stanford w/o DeSilva etc - NONE of those teams are competing for a P12 crown without their best player. None.
