Tonight's Titanic Struggle

I kinda look at this as an excuse.... to be honest yancy should have dominated with scrap points.

Lets be real here, he towered over everyone. Sure he got doubled... he better get used to it.

Fouls are fouls. he better get used to it.

As far as being patient. Hes too patient. he waits WAYYY to long to dish out of the double team, or to make a move in the post.

Ill say it again. Typical Yancy. Played well when he was pissed. dunked on 3 fools when they talked shit. Good players play 40 minutes

We can agree to disagree on this. We'll see how the year plays out.

Talking about Yancy's play last night has two stories. Yes, he has getting triple teamed and I don't care who you are you can not do much with three guys on you, so he wisely passed it out. In the 2nd half, Yancy simply did not work to get the ball. He clearly out sized every player on JSU but you would never know it because he didn't stick his butt out and clear out some space for himself. That has been Yancy's main problem from day 1. If he actually used his body size to get the ball, that would eliminate a lot of everyone's frustrations.

From a denfender's position, it would be exteremly hard to front Yancy if he utilized his body correctly. Instead, Yancy allows the defender to just basically play side by side and lean on him to entire time. He doesn't seal his man off at all. He could easily piss some defenders off if he just used his body, instead it is quite the opposite. Yancy gets frustrated because he feels there is too much contact. That is not fixed by now I would be surprised if that changes this year.

There were a couple times early in the second half when Yancy had good position and Dion or Cash reversed the ball away from him. With any big guy, you have to give him the ball when he is open. Part of the issue is we still don't have a guard that is great at feeding the post. Once Yancy didn't get the ball a few times, he disappeared. That is on Yancy for sure, but the guards have to work harder to get him the ball too.

Eh... I just think they stopped caring. I don't think Yancy has that problem right now. I think the team just didn't bother in the second half.
Can't say I blame them, Cronin can, I can't lol

Guards watched people run right by them, Gates stopped being physical and the overall effort was crap.

Like I said it's game two. If I see this continue I'll worry.
