I hope it's Cumberland. Part of the reason we have so little flow to our offense is our inconsistency hitting from the perimeter. X and Florida both doubled Gary and Kyle. Kyle would always try to force things against a triple team instead of trying to find the open man. Resulting in bad shots or turn overs. When that is happening the wings can't find a rhythm. Tonight they didn't double Kyle and he hurt them with his hook. If they are going to double him he needs to find the open man on the perimeter and we need to knock it down

Yup, perfectly stated.

On a side note, anyone catch the post game and Seth Greenberg praising our senior Jacob Evans who had 19 points???? These dudes are intolerable.

Definitely agree.
 
We played outstanding defense tonight. 11 blocks on a pretty athletic team. Really need some consistency from the arc to be the kind of team we all want. UCLA isn't going to let Kyle shoot his little hook without doubling him. Cumberland really has to step up.

Why wouldn't UCLA allow it?
 
No official ppp stats yet, but rough estimate is we scored .98 (not good) and gave up .75 ( hyper elite)

Nowhere to go but up really. I honestly don't think we can be less efficient than we have in the last several games. We have been missing a lot of open shots. Bunnies and wide open 3s. I don't know why... but I don't expect it to continue.
 
65 pts against a Miss St team that stinks. We should/could have won by 20+.

Whats holding this team back? Substitution patterns. Whos responsible for that? HEAD COACH

This has been a trend ever since Cronin has arrived. Watch his sideline antics. Always pulling players, subbing new ones in, giving players earfuls over a simple MISTAKE. Let your best players PLAY. Play through mistakes and difficulties. You will see triumphs as a result. Starters get 28+ mins per game. Everyone else, filler time.

Cronin’s napoleonic complex rubs off on players. Watch their body language. From time to time they just think, F this guy.

UCLA WILL WAX US. Beer on me if we win that game

That's one thing I find so frustrating about Kyle. When he gets double teamed quick he will pass out of it and can make some really good interior passes. But then when it's slower to come on it's like he tenses up and just forces a shot instead of looking elsewhere. Got to learn to make smart plays all the time

You thought we'd win by 5-7. We won by 15. So you don't get to complain. The team exceeded your expectations.

I think you're over doing it a bit. But for once I have to agree with you on some of that. I really just don't understand this playing guys because they don't make mistakes thing. It's one thing if you're being overly careless, it's another if you take a bad shot or two, or make a stupid turnover. Sometimes these thing just happen. To me it seems like broome and Washington get this the most. I think it's effects Washington way more than broome. Broome is still gonna come in and do his thing, but just in less minutes which is bad for the team. Washington you can really notice his body language sometimes and I don't know if it's actually being mad at coach or just more of him kicking himself. Either way it gets him out of rhythm and off his game and I think just tenses him up the rest of the game. Look at tonight, he was on from the get, and he made a couple turnovers but by that point he was scoring so effiectly Cronin wasn't going to take him out. Either way, I agree you have to let the best players play, if you wanna prove some points early in the season so be it, but this is already crunch time as far as seeding is concerned and we need to start playing for the future of our season and that means the best guys getting their due minutes
 
IMO there is no reason broome should be at 25, if not 30 MPG right now. I like jenifer but broome is just better.

Well 4 of the 5 starters had 30+ with the 2 PG's splitting 40 so what's your complaint again?
