If you watch the MBB team is there any indication they are being coached or that we have any sort of game plan?

Yes.
They look very similar to Mike White's teams.
All concerns will be swept aside when we demolish Prairie View AT&T and Grambling by 50pts.
Every time I think of Rupp I think of this scene from WKPR in Cincinnati where they are doing a commercial for a funeral home.

Rupp's recruits were ok.
White's recruits were good.
Konkol has great athletes, but there isn't a team identity. At times they want to press and play up tempo. At other times (Cal) they play great defense. Other times (Leopards) they play NO defense. There is no real rhyme or reason yet.
SC, Neb, Cal were acceptable losses. SC is a great team this year. Probably one of the best in the SEC. Cal was a basket away from a win. Nebraska was a tough contest.
I have no excuse for that travesty we displayed at USL. That was bad basketball. Maybe the injuries cost us more than we thought, but it was just bad basketball. Spotting an average team 20 points is ridiculous when you have played SC and Cal as close as you have.
It is still early in the season. The C-UAB is only sending one team to the dance. Everyone knew going into this season the only way we are playing in the tournament is winning the C-UAB, so our season begins Jan. 1.
The talking head on the radio here in laffyette said "cajins punched them in the mouth early and out toughed them" or something like that.
You know what else is ridiculous? Indiana losing to IPFW. Its basketball. Stuff happens. We have a very young team. We lost on the road at ULLLLL when we had a very experienced team with Speedy, Mike, and Raheem. If Konkol is comparable to Rupp to some of our fans, then yall are fools. Olu Ahsaolu was the best recruit in Rupp's tenure, he scored 10 a game.
Fort Wayne actually hosted Indiana so that's a whole other can of worms.
Indiana is 8-1 and beat North Carolina. We are 5-4 and our wins are against swac teams or worse.
The painful truth thing is that we are a work in progress for 2-3 seasons, then in our breakout season we are just good enough to get beat in our conference tourney by UTEP, UAB, Nevada, NMSU, or somebody else.
