Aside from Demary they don’t have a single player that can do that. We’ve prioritized shooting to the extreme. And I think teams have figured out their intricate offense a little bit better, so we don’t get as many easy buckets either.

I thought we had very poor shot selection. Reed had 11 pts in the first 5 mins. After that a bunch of quick 3s not in the offensive flow - I think just about everyone took one of those. Reed ends the half with 11 pts.

I think there’s a bit of this but to me it’s more that we ask a lot of him because there’s nobody else who can create at the end of the shot clock. I’m more surprised about his so-so 3 pt shooting - his looks there are generally good and in the flow of the offense.

Agree on Ross. I was talking about Stewart.

I Nice strawman. I said he’d be a productive player here and I’m not ready to write him off. Not that he’s been amazing this year or that it’s his first poor performance. Go way back and you’ll see I said the same thing about Isaiah Whaley when he was buried on the bench. Time will tell.

Yes, double bigs for parts of the game would be better than playing four on five offensively with Ross. It’s too late to hope that our defense gets better without making some changes. Samson is mobile enough to guard 4s and him being available to help rather than being pushed around under the...

He was a former top 50 recruit, plus athlete, shooting 50% for his career and has shown some flashes. It’s also called not over-reacting after a god awful game by him.

Awful game by Stewart but I’ll go out in a limb and say that he’ll be a productive player here. Can’t say that about Ross.

This. I think McDermott just gave a blueprint for how to better handle our sets - by putting your center in deep drop coverage. Granted not everybody has a 7’2” center but Samson often had the ball just inside the 3 pt line and nobody within literally 10 ft of him and never looked to do...

Prime Mike Tyson was one of the most exciting athletes to ever lace them up.

“Nothing was ever given to him. He started with nothing and had to grind every step of the way.” If you haven’t listened in awhile to Nantz talking about the GOAT after the 1999 title game, it’s worth it.

We are so lucky to be UConn fans.

Sportscenter just showed a graphic that Illinois was 0-19 on shots challenged by DC. Insane.

Aside from being bad at seeding, sounds like the committee didn’t have a map handy.

So you’re going to die on the “I’d prefer the center with 2 rebounds who required help every time their big touched the ball” hill. Got it.
