And this bothers you why?
100%. I am not blaming the refs, but the free throw discrepancy was disgraceful and the two fouls at the end did in fact change the game. They called an offensive foul on Taris for the same exact thing the Memphis player did to Solo. It’s those types of inconsistencies that does cause for blame.
we were slow on 3pt closeouts, and they flopped on all contact. That's on us for being slow.
We need 1 guy that can go get his own. We don’t really have that right now. Nowell has attacked the rim nearly as much as most the perimeter guys and he has played a fraction of the minutes. That’s why I wanted Meleek or Acaden. I think Braylon and Adams will be great, but they aren’t really guys that will break down their guy off the dribble. Tristen and Cam were so crafty and Steph was so explosive. We need that guy bad on this team.
Stewart was feeling it. Ride the hot hand.
Who? Diarra? I wasn't criticizing him, I was suggesting he could/should be our starting point guard
Felt weird to me, but heck, Danny has two more nattys than I do.
Mahaney was glued to the bench the final 10 minutes and OT, that was telling. Danny sees what we all see. We'll be fine at the 5, Samson just needs ot go back to what he did last year. Hoping Nowell can contribute, other wise we're in a bit of trouble against any backcourt like Memphis'.
lacking wiggle and creativity off the bounce, I would at least like to see him try to get to a midrange spot for a pull-up and/or floater since I don't think he has the ability to get all the way to the rim and finish in traffic. He's shown he has the pull-up in his game.
Sorry, I quoted the wrong post.
I think Adams may have some of that breakdown game. I see a lot of Devin Booker in his game, but there’s a chance he can play like a Kentucky Booker where he’s more of a spot up guy as a freshman.
Depth is a blessing and a curse I guess, particularly when there might not be a pronounced difference in skill between players 3 through 7 on your roster.
It’s one of the few faults he has IMO, he doesn’t seem to ride the hot hand. I love his passion but he’s got to cool it with the insults.
I think it is called therapy. Keeping it in for two hours would not be healthy. No one is threatening any one, we are releasing our frustrations with written words. I think that is what makes the internet the perfect place to share your frustrations with those experiencing the same feelings.
We’re in alignment. It’s not championship or bust for me personally. I’d just like to see good adjustments made and giving our guys the best chance to win.
Yeah like instead of them going apes—t on the sideline about calls that won’t be changed, figure out the defense, or draw up some more offense. Focusing on the Refs as coaches does no good at all.
that squad had 10% the talent of the current roster
dunno...I got 17
He’s super slight though, not to say he won’t put on muscle, but he isn’t ready for college contact yet.
He also probably wanted to see how guys like Liam would react after sitting with the foul trouble for most of the first half. I’d imagine that he views this time of the year as invaluable to find the right lineups and situations to put guys in. A November loss hurts, but not as much as one in February or March.
Maybe some hope that nowell can find the floor.
