No need to worry about Evans.

I do think Jake's defence has taken a hit because of what he is asked to do both offensively and in the press defensively.


Last year he graded out as an "Excellent" Defender (better that 90% of D1 players) but this year its regressed to just "Good" better than 62% of D1 players.


His defends great. I just think he is asked to do so much on both ends now that it takes a toll. He has to be the Kevin Johnson of last year and also be the leading scorer and shot maker. Add in that he also needs to be the PG tonight.

I only think Keith or Tre Scott are athletic enough to keep up with Rose.



****EDIT***

Im using a temporary Mac at work while my new one comes in and it was Set to British English as the main language. It has been telling me that Defense is spelled incorrectly and wants to change it Defence. Its bogged my brain for 3 days now. I question my entire existence then realised it was set to british English

I was wondering why you kept spelling it that way lol. I know it's the British version, but I'm like why is he using British terminology. Eh whatever lol.
 
Happy new year!

Cats keep positive momentum tonight and have easy double digit win.

I wish we scheduled tougher out of conference...UCLA is down this year and Florida doesn't seem to be as expected either. Doesn't require marquee games either...7 of our current wins against competition 200+ rankings not good. Replace those seven with one sub 100 and 6 100-150 and we'd be in much better position to get 4 seed or better in NCAA's.
 
I missed the pregame presser with Cronin. I was surprised to hear that he mentioned Moore as being our next best on ball defender if Cane and Justin are out. I would have thought that was Williams. Trevor certainly seems to be trying harder out there but Williams seems so smooth that it's hard to tell.

I like the energy Moore brings...he's a very excitable guy. Kyle is about the only other guy that really gets excited with a team full of introverts. Jenifer gets pumped up from time to time on a good defensive play. We need some of that when we are on the road.

He also mentioned Jake never gets tired...so I will take his word for it if we have to always put him on the best offensive guard out there night in and night out. I am sure it takes a small toll but it doesn't seem to bother Evans much.

He's expecting a dog fight tonight and I can't disagree there either.

All the bearcats are in great shape. Jacob is in terrific shape, he really retooled his body coming in from highschool. Sometimes it doesn't look like he is ever really trying. I trust coach when he says he don't get tired, looks like that to me also.

If, while motoring to the theatre under grey skies you stop for petrol & start seeing random colours, do let me know
