On To Marquette

I really hope that with how the last couple games have gone that Hurley switches it up alittle. If nothing else to just to throw off the scouting report some. The first 4 minutes against Nova the team looked ok until Whaley and Sanogo had the touch fouls called. But I do agree with most that Ajax should try coming off the bench. Either start Hawkins or Gaffney to help Cole. The team is just so limited on offense it’s hard to watch. Defense hasn’t been great either. The team has the potential to be a contender with anyone in the BE but they need to figure something out soon and Hurley need to stop being so stubborn.

Why would you expect this?? What gives you even a modicum of hope that it will happen?? He’s looking at this as a 15-6 team w a couple close losses. Not a team that is CLEARLY reeling. He has done nothing in two years to change anything up. Which is why we continue to lose to teams that are well coached and/or similar talent wise. After recruiting and initial game plan, coaching is all about adjustments. As Mike Tyson famously said, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.

Our coach needs to learn how to counter punch/change strategy or he will never have more than limited success.

The idea of putting Hawkins in the lineup for AJ is at least intriguing. Right now we’ve got 1.5 players in the starting lineup who defenses cam more or less ignore in the half court set (the .5 is Whaley when he’s on the perimeter, at least until he stops hesitating for 2-3 secs to pull the trigger on that 3- if he even shoots it at all- when he’s being left alone). On the other hand, pulling Sanogo would be complete lunacy.

I think Whaley for Adama at the start and Hawkins getting a start. Nothing from Adama the last 3 games in the first half. The team needs a wake up call. Looking for a bounce back from Adama.

Hurley needs to shake things up.

Curious if we should still bench Adama, thoughts?
