There were actually some positives...

[dogpause]

Daniels seemed to assert himself a bit and made a few nice plays.

We opened the game looking to run and play up-tempo.

The defense was pretty good at times.

Andre hit the rim on one of his FT's. Sorry, just kidding about that one.

Jeremy will be here next year.

So SHOULD Drummond. I don't care he had 18 points. He was terrible as well.

He wasn't terrible. For God's sake man, if not for him they may have doubled our score. He did well, given what he had to work with.

Drummond needed a lot more touches in that game. Firing up open threes and other jumpers is all fine and dandy, but at some point you need to realize your shooting sucks some nights for whatever reason, and you have a lottery pick big man shooting at a high percentage.

Andre continued to gamble for steals and it lead to layups and dunks for Georgetown. I know he likes to get the steal and then go the length of the court for the dunk, but when you don't get the steal it gives a big advantage to the other team because you are out of defensive position. It happened like three times in the second half and you can't win by gambling, you have to be solid. Those defensive mistakes really hurt. Collectively, the team needs to be solid before they can be good. The focus is just not there. I know shooters have off nights but when you are shooting air balls when you are wide open like Jeremy Lamb, you are not focusing or competing hard enough.

Only positive thing was the defense. You can knock this team for a lot of things but defense isnt one of them. Giving up an average of 54 points over the last two games isnt bad at all. Not being able to break 50 for two games in a row with this roster is sickening.

I agree. Defense was pretty decent. For a while there we were making the stops, but just couldn't get it done on the offensive end. It allowed us to hang around for a bit, but unfortunately couldn't take any advantage of it

The only positives and were the defense and DD taking the ball to the rim. He did quite well not only finding his own shot but getting the bigs a couple of nice looks. He should start next game and continue to drive since his outside is not there.

I think we start DD at PF maybe next game. Why not go small. Otherwise I rather see TO there as he works well with AD. I just don't want to see either AO or RS(man what has happened to his game) start at PF. If DD doesn't start at PF I rather have him then NG starting at SF.
