While I agree with you that Angley is developing (he also had 5 assists and no turnovers),, unless he becomes Steve Nash, this team isn't going anywhere if it doesn't play with maximum intensity all of the time. The losses to Poly, Irvine and CCS were inexecuseable. If the Broncos play with Carolina/Stanford/2nd half UOP intensity, those games and the one tonight are in the win column. It is the same story every season, a few wins or near misses against prominent teams and then inexplicable punkings at the hands of the Central Connecticut States of the world.Even at the apex of the Nash era, they'd still lose in the first round of the WCC tournament to undermanned 8th seeds. (yes, I know they won the tourney Nash's freshman year). I know they've been snake bit with injuries over the past 6 years. If things don't turn aound, I think wholesale changes are inevitable. DD is a great guy who's forgotten more about BBall than an armchair point guard like me will ever know or understand, but he needs to win to stay. He's said as much himself. To win he needs to get his (our) team to play hard all of the time, not just in marquee games.
I feel better now. My wife went to BYU; they've beaten us every time we've played since Mike Stewart and Fred Lavoroni. I'm gonna be pissed if she can have braggin' rights for another year.

however, with gonzaga is playing like a powerhouse and usf streaking, the wcc is going to be tough
