Message: [QUOTE="Candyman, post: 2459874, member: 4084"] Thoughts: [LIST] [*]Larrier had 2 rebounds. Can't stress that enough. He played 38 minutes and had 2 rebounds. He wanted no part of their bigs down low. [*]Diarra and Cobb were left to themselves to battle their guys. Diarra starting is crazy to me. He is 6'5 maybe 6'6 and going against 7'2. Mid Majors do that which is what we are a decent mid major team. [*]Have to stop this three guard lineup. We didn't use our bench at all yesterday. Carlton, DO and Polley had a combined 13 minutes. Cobb played 17 minutes but Adams played the whole game, Larrier and Anderson 38 minutes and Vital 37. Those 4 combined for only 8 rebounds. We need everyone to crash the boards. [*]Last year Adams had 7 boards and 7 assists. He was not active at all last night He just doesn't make the right decisions on the court when we need him to. Took an ill advised corner three air ball early in shot clock when we were down only 9 with 8 minutes left. Before the half he threw a no look shovel pass to the front row when there were 28 seconds left. He tries fancy passes in traffic and once he tried to get cute on a layup and got it blocked. He needs to learn how to get fouled instead of shying away from contact. [*]Defense will be bad and then gets good for stretches but they can't maintain it. Cuse went 5 minutes without a basket and we couldn't capitalize. [*]Diarra 1-6 from free throw line and missed two huge ones that could have cut lead to 6 and put pressure on them. [*]Anderson- plays great defense but why take so long to be on Battle? Start your defender on their best player i dont care about size as Battle doesn't post up. Also, Anderson was useless on offense last night. Syracuse sagged off him alot which was smart. [/LIST] After Coppin State we will hopefully be 7-3, but then we play three tough games against Arizona, Auburn and Wichita State. So looks like we will be 7-6 when they get back. [/QUOTE]
