Cole....Defense?

[Huskybass]

Never been a fan of Cole. Missed 2 free throws that lost us the game. Overtime shot a couple 3's that were bricks. Gaffney deserves his minutes.

Cole isn't quite the great second option we had hoped for. Those missed free throws would have sealed the victory.

 

[kansashusky]

He is trying to do too much. Not a fan.

 

[Sachem]

I’ve never seen a lefty shoot so bad in my life

 

[uconnfan68]

They got way too many easy open shots. We work like crazy 30’ away. Without Bouk it was never going to be close.

 

[calluke]

He needs to remember he's a point guard, not a shooting guard.

We need less Cole/Gaffney more Jackson.

Gilbert makes both of those FTs

Lmao, stop.

 

[storrsroars]

El amin makes both of those FT's...just sayin'.

But Donyell doesn't.

 

[storrsroars]

Cole was useful on defense. Can't really figure out where Gaffney was useful.

 

[LIuconn]

No clear #2. Both pgs looked shaky

Cole is twice as good as gaffney ( at this point) on BOTH ends of floor.

RJ’s offense was horrible. The post was about his D, which (compared to previous games) was solid prior to last few possessions. D’d up the BE preseason POY quite well.

Say what you want about the finish, certainly not ideal, but dude worked on D.

Foot in mouth.

Mickelson at the 18th of the US Open?

I like Cole. I think he will be very good for us this season. He definitely choked though. Also our offensive plan in overtime was awful. Bouknight barely touched the ball until we were down 2 or 3 possessions. But despite not playing very well, we are better than Creighton and it was pretty obvious. Zigarowski is not an all American btw.

Cole going 2/13 is a major problem... but those are shots someone has to take. I think we need to design our offense so that we can get better shots. That is just tough with so many offensively limited players.

Martin was fine. Need more of him it would seem and he plays hard on the boards especially.

if this game is Martin’s version of “fine” then he needs to go back to RI.
(And take all of our guards with him besides Bouk)

 

[wheelerdog]

Everybody take a breath. It’s only December. Give these guys a chance.

 

[Hamms30]

We ignoring the job he did on defense against Zergarowski? Or are we just pouting about two free throws? What bothers me more is when we are up and closing games, instead of running an offense, we dribble and pass around the perimeter and then throw up long jump shots and miss then have to run back in transition. Not to mention the time it leaves on the shot clock.

 

[ucawn]

Our 2nd scorer should be a big. Our 3rd scorer should be RJ. He should only be taking open looks and not forcing up crap. He drew a bunch of fouls today but nothing he put up in the paint was remotely close. RJ should shoot open shots and play defense. Carlton, whaley, Sanogo, Akok when he’s back should be our 2nd scoring option

 

[husky429]

Don’t let how bad RJ played let you forget how horrible Martin was too.

Eh at least he didn't take 15 shots. Seems to know his role at least. He does have some issues finishing though... makes everything so tough on himself

 

[alexd]

Never been a fan of Cole.

So you mean, for all three games he played here coming into today's game?

 

[Com'rGordon]

We definitely made a mistake taking Gaffney over Amir Dawes (Al-Amir Dawes Stats, News, Bio | ESPN )

and Bones Hyland should be on this team too.

I would love to have Sool & Hawkins with Bouk...
