2) Sum it up in one line.

chrissorr: There are enough "beats" above whereby you'd think this would be a decent team, but the whole is less than the sum of the parts.

DCBruins:  No true point guard and no bench are making this team look like my low preseason expectations.

3) Is this the Looney/Parker team or the Bryce/Norman/Isaac Team?

chrissorr: Looney/Parker

DCBruins:  should be Looney/Parker is Bryce/Norman/Isaac

4) Lose to Kentucky by more or less than 30 points?

chrissorr: less

DCBruins:  less

5) Odds of a team meltdown of the toxic locker room variety happening by early-January: high, low or medium?

6) Projected finish in the PAC-12 regular season?

DCBruins: fifth
