Our defense sucks.


Chris Vogt is so much better than Nysier... Everyone owes me an apology.

I don’t think I’m hitting the under tonight

 

[Queens_NYC]

We only missed two 2-point shots that half

 

[mdchick]

Temple 6-7 from 3

Hitting Vogt is the game plan but I would rather shoot 3s than watch us try to make plays off the bounce and turn the damn ball over

Our offense has been good this game, they don't have the size to guard Vogt and we've made a committed effort to get it inside to him.

But we've had too many TO's and bad defense. Part of it just comes with Vogt: Vogt's size gives us the advantage on O and them the advantage on D, part of it is them shooting 6-7 from 3 and part of it is us dropping too far of three point shooters (some miscommunication).

temple struggles on offense all year.... plays UC and shoots almost 90% from 3 and almost 60% overall

 

[mdchick]

You kidding me with this shooting right now

 

[waterhead]

They can’t fing miss...come on

 

[skyblade]

They can't miss, but we are leaving them wide open. Time to start defending the three.

 

[Bearcats92]

I’m not feeling good about this one

 

[skyblade]

Now we can't get any stops.

 

[waterhead]

And getting to the rack with layups

 

[justinhub2003]

Absolutely love the zone

Temple is dreadful against a zone and good against Man

 

[mdchick]

Winning on the road very difficult, winning on the road when your opponents is shooting 80% from 3 damn near impossible

Every one stop saying Chris Vogt can defend well in the post.

He’s certainly better there than any where else, but he is the worst post defender that UC has ever had.

Just accept that.

It’s fine because he’s also the best post scorer we’ve likely ever had.

The numbers are the numbers for a reason.

Guys his size have zero fear to post him up.

We need Jarron to takeover right now. Can't have him standing 40 feet from the basket all by himself with 5 seconds left on the shot clock and the rest of the team struggling to move the ball.

Yeah, Vogt has been horrible on defense this game (and most games). He's probably the worst defender at starting center (and maybe even not starting center) we've had in the last 30 years.

He has drawn fouls and dominated offensively in the first half (not really in the second half though).

 

[Queens_NYC]

Law of averages finally working in our favor with Temple's second half 3-point shooting.

Nice work fellas
