Offense is on its usual pace, can't get to hoop. Gaines is already in the game at the 17 min. mark with some sweet glasses. Is Big D hurt? 1-7 FG's in 6 min. And Cash has 2 early fouls, he will be out the rest of the 1st half.

Wow....we have more turnover than points. More fouls than points. We can't even get a shot off and when we do its a 3. SMH
 
Could be worse

But I better not hear about this defense crap. They are unconscious and hitting shots with a hand in the face. Gotta put the ball in the basket
 
Regroup. Like how we are attacking the press and not pulling it back out.

They cant stay this hot all game
 
I would say we have some basic problems

1. cant set a screen
2. we don't move without the ball
3. we cant get Jackson to simply catch the ball and play under control
4. we have no basketball IQ (mbodj should have been t'd up for that and guyn giving them a cheap two points by fouling a 93 percent free throw shooter)
5. we cant set a basic screen without fouling and on the rare occasions we don't foul, our guards don't even use them because they are ineffective
6. we suck at home and are better on the road
7. we come out flat everytime we play an inferior opponent (tonight, DePaul, wright state, xu, st johns) all just this season
8. wright doesn't know when to stop playing in your face defense
9. we cant stop or finish a half/game (look at our last 3 games: couldn't finish Marquette, couldn't start or finish the game against Syracuse, and couldn't start or finish DePaul)
10. we cant make free throws
11. we let them get wide open looks
12. we have no consistency with any of our players that includes SK, cash, and parker.
13. we don't have a clear rotation as Cronin for some reason goes with gaines over nyarsuk tonight and Jackson starting over rubles.


my favorite part is probably how everytime we get a rebound, we hold it and walk it up the floor to run our half court offense that I guess is so good that we don't need to get transition points. I dont want to hear Cronin in the post game reference the 9 day layoff cause that's not an excuse. if I am coaching, I hold 2 intra squad scrimmages over those 9 days to keep them in a regular schedule.

I will say that aside from catching the ball, which is a challenge in itself for our bigs, they have shown aggressiveness and half decent post moves.

The transition game that we have run twice, has worked. Just need to do more.

As for our defense, other than one wide open look, were getting hands in the face

But yes, please stop relying on our half court offense. Its not going to get us back in this game
