Message: [QUOTE="August_West, post: 2942696, member: 1047"] LOL the "eye test" had me pulling my hair out yesterday. there were multiple dunks where we had no one within 12 feet of the Zona guy under the hoop. Multiple 3's where the same was true. Our defensive breakdowns, when they happen, are epic. I mean unbelievably epic. Could you imagine Calhoun even standing for ONE of those plays without calling a timeout, pulling someone off the court by the shirt and correcting it? I dont expect Hurley to be Calhoun in that manner at all. I DO expect him to correct glaring errors as they happened in his own way. It took far too long for him to make adjustments against simple high screens. It was embarrassing how open Zona was at times in that 1st half. Absolutely embarrassing. How easily they got uncontested dunks and 3's. And by uncontested I mean shoot around style. Those need to be called out and corrected immediately in the same way he calls out and corrects poor shot selection. Do we even hold teams under 70 anymore? Ever? I just had to look it up. Our lowest Defensive point total is 66 (twice - UMKC and UNH), so I guess we do occasionally, but not by much. Such offensive juggernauts as Morehead St (70) Cornell (74) Umass Lowell (75!) have all hung over 70 on us. Hell, so did SCSU in the exhibition (70). Cuse put 76 on us without a PG and they suck offensively. Iowa dropped 91 on us. Now I realize that the tempo we play is going to lead to higher scoring games. Thats fine. But man the switching/hedging/overplay stuff is really going to hurt us until our players get it. [/QUOTE]
