Good game by Olander.

You must be grading on the curve. In his short time, he missed 2 easy rebounds.

Depends on your definition of easy. He also got loose balls, made steals, played solid D, hit his two FT's, was active on the boards although he only corralled one and in general added energy and life to the effort.

Yep, it was only five minutes and he wasn't perfect. And if you don't like TO, this won't change your mind. But he did good stuff in limited time.

Put Brimah out there. Also I would feed him in the post because our guards have not been getting clean looks.

That one sequence doesn't't mean that KO wasn't outcoached by Brown. Brown took away everything that Bazz wanted to do all game long. Ollie never made a counter move to the Brown defense.

I think Tyler played well in his minutes... But, KO was outcoached for the second time by Larry Brown. This isn't a huge issue or surprise, as Larry Brown is considered one of the better coaches and basketball minds in history. But the quoted post is the key. For the second time this year, Brown had an answer to our half court offense. And for the second time this year, KO did not. That's being outcoached. Sure, we missed a good amount of open looks but they weren't great looks. Brown's plan was to give up looks to Kromah; an average at best outside shooter. SMU switched on all our screens with bigger, equally athletic guards, and challenged someone else to hit shots. It's not a groundbreaking defensive plan, but KO had no answers or wrinkles to combat it. It's partly due to our lack of personnel (ballhandlers/creators) but the face remains that we played SMU twice this year and in both games looked absolutely putrid in the half court set. Not a coincidence.

But this thread was a compliment for TO who deserves more minutes and has IMHO shown to be out toughest interior presence. He looked good today.

I think it is a very loud statement that this late in the season we are trying to decide who deserves more minutes at the 5 spot.

Brimah should be playing tons of minutes if he can keep from fouling out.

The equivalent of saying I should be sleeping with Jennifer Anniston if she wanted to do it.

Given the number of times you utilize JA in your analogies, me thinks you must be sleeping with her


in your dreams.
