Question, do the freshmen still have 4 years of eligibility after this year with the Covid rule thing? How late that work

Going into half and as usual there is a lot to be unhappy about and some bright spots.

Way too many TO's, many unforced. Just need to be smarter with the ball.

Vogt played for ~5 minutes and we were -9 with him in. Brannen is starting to realize Vogt shouldn't play, but needs to get the message faster.

Eason needs to learn to play like Gary did as a freshman. Defend, rebound and dunk. Eason tries to do too much, but the potential is there.

The smaller combinations looked pretty good generally. Well honestly, pretty much any lineup that did not have Saunders and/or Vogt in the game did pretty well.

Not sure how to fix Keith, he seems to have lost the confidence mentally. He has been playing pretty good on D though.

Harvey showed some flashes of brilliance. It's seeming like Harvey may eventually become the go to scorer that we need.

Mason should get more minutes. Hard to read to much into his ~4 minutes of play, but he seemed to do everything right.

I think Keith tries to be something he’s not. Tries to be an sk, Jarron, type but he just isn’t that. If he just did the dirty work, get rebounds, dunk, put backs, and let the game come to him, he’d be great.

Eason and Saunders need to slow down. But that’s what freshmen do

We have shot well (for us) from three. 36.4%.

Biggest issue with our percentage is bad shot selection from two. Especially, Keith and Eason.

Yes.

 

[cincyguy13]

Is the Russian guy still hurt? Let’s get him reps. Can’t be worse than Vogt. This year is just about getting reps to the young guys at this point

 

[cincyguy13]

Vogt honestly shouldn’t play at all

 

[TheLivingLegend]

Not sure saunders can play this year. Really doesn't bring anything.

Thought he was decent in the first couple games. Hadn’t been good tonight. Freshmen

 

[skyblade]

I just can't see what Brannen sees in Vogt. Every single possession Vogt is getting destroyed on defense. He'd have to be putting up 40 a night to make up for the points he gives up.

 

[cincyguy13]

Vogt has 0 pts, 0 rebs, 0 ast, 0 blks. Honestly if he isn’t scoring, what’s the point of him playing

 

[TheLivingLegend]

Dejulius shooting is painful

 

[cincyguy13]

Our veterans have been terrible

 

[TheLivingLegend]

Tonight was better. Got to continue to adjust rotations imo.

 

[cincyguy13]

Dejulius shooting is painful

12 assist though

 

[cincyguy13]

12 assist though

And 9 boards

 

[cincyguy13]

Vogt didn’t record a stat. That’s hard to do.

 

[justinhub2003]

My self imposed ban is over.

Play like that every game and I’ll be a happy camper.


This team is way better if Vogt is nearly out of the rotation.

I just wish we figured this out sooner. We can’t do this every year, where we suck for 8 games and then get good. If we learn to get better sooner I’ll be happy.

 

[cincyguy13]

Davenport is good, might be really good.

Eason could be special once he gets more comfortable.

Harvey has looked good for about 3-4 games now.

 

[skyblade]

Not the prettiest win, but will take it however we can get it. MAW going 4-5 from three tonight, instead of shooting 20% probably the difference versus our previous losses. Gotta hit shots to win.

If DeJulius could shoot 35% from three as well and Keith could play like he does in the last 5 minutes all game, we might be undefeated.

My biggest complaint is as usual Vogt, what Brannen was thinking putting in the game in the 2nd half I have no idea. Vogt was -9 in the game, Eason was +15ish and I'd guess Diarra was +6 or so. Vogt should be getting no more than 5 minutes per game.
