We either generate a turnover or they score at the rim.

It’s simple.

They are shooting 30%.

They are on pace to score 44 points and your questioning defensive strategies, I could see questioning offense

 

[justinhub2003]

Tulsa has like all its points in the paint.

This is anti Bearcat basketball defensively


Sure we generate turnovers in a very gimicky way. But dude, once they beat the pressure, a few passes destroys our defense and they score at the rim, sometimes completely uncontested

This 94 feet crap ain’t getting no better next year either.

Add in that Jarron is a brilliant team defender but this new defense puts him on an island defensively with no one to help.

Pick your battles man. The defense argument doesn’t make much sense tonight. Maybe early on, but not now. Wait a half. I’m sure they’ll put u 50 in this half.

Seriously I even tried to help the guy out, he should be out here like “hey we only scored 26 on offense what the heck mick would have gotten 50 on them.

A poor shooting team shooting poorly is fine.

But the issue is how the defensive breakdowns have been an issue all year long.

I mean I just watched a defense that had Vogt & Diarra guarding the same person while a guy just waltzed In for a layup.


This defense will not work against Houston and Memphis and it will not work on the road.

Maw can’t stop getting into foul trouble

I hear you. But if a team shoots 35% in a half and scores 22 points, probably not the time to change that.

Also, that was probably diarra. Vogt can’t move enough to switch.

 

[justinhub2003]

They aren’t making 3’s but on two’s they are 10-23

5 shots have been blocked, so that makes it 10-18.

I’d rather never block a shot if we don’t get punished so badly in the paint.


This a perfect example of a shooting percentage not telling the whole story.

I’m sitting in the student section behind the Tulsa bench, from my vantage point I just seen a lot of what the hell are we doing defensive stuff

They waltzed in for 22 points in the half. Every single coach in the country would take that. WTF

Tulsa averages 74 ppg st 46% shooting. I’d say we are holding them below their average.

 

[justinhub2003]

Like guys are playing hard. But as a strategy it’s not what these team is good at in the half court

Jaevin & Jarron both poor 1 on 1 defenders, Chris Vogt doesn’t move quick enough to help.

Just give me a few zone possessions please

Dude.

It’s not about the score. It’s about how the defense is breaking down.


It’s not like our defense has been amazing all year. I’m seeing a huge weakness in the paint and it’s why teams come out at the half and kick out ass

That’s not how stats work. You can’t just take blocks away to fit your argument. Like I said, just wait 10 minutes. I’m sure they’ll put up 50.

who the F is talking about all year. This is a tusla game thread and they have 22 points

 

[cincyguy13]

I think we’ve started every game at least 3 straight turnovers in the 2nd half.

 

[cincyguy13]

Not sure why McNeal plays.

 

[cincyguy13]

McNeal doesn’t even hit rim 60% of the time.
