Message: [QUOTE="MDHuskFan, post: 2978743, member: 8914"] I always love the boneyard overreaction one way or another. We’re either final 4 or winning 2 conference games. Few thoughts from the actual game: 1) we haven’t put in a full game in a while. Some continued trends are closing/opening half’s poorly. Needs to definitely be addressed 2)USF was NOT more talented than us. They are however more physical & a more complete team. Talk about rankings all you want, but if I gave you a chance to trade our bigs for theirs, you’d be a fool to turn it down, they’re simply better. 3) Polley seems like he’s strictly a situational player, a sniper & nothing more. In games like tonight when his shot doesn’t fall, he simply doesn’t offer anything else. Too slow & flat footed to guard a 3, too weak/“soft” to play the 4. 4)At the end of the day, the team is what it is. Its’s what Dan Hurley inherited & I guess I’m confused as to what people want him to do? There were definitely opportunities where maybe we call a TO, but idk what more he can do with these players. End of the day we have a BBIQ deficiency. After breaks/TO’s it seemed like we had well designed plays & executed them for buckets. Unfortunately, we can’t call TO’s every time we’re in a half court setting. I think some of this blame is unfairly being transferred from players to the staff & that’s not necessarily fair IMO. 5) Lastly, I really hope all the CV hate can finally die down. Dude is the one player on this team that seems to have PRIDE to play for the school & feels a responsibility to the name on the front of his jersey. Unfortunately, this roster lacks guys like that.
