To me, it’s the physicality and just learning how to deal with that and double teams. We played a hard non conference schedule. Every team had size. He played great the first go round in conference. The second time teams seen him, it’s been bad. He has to get more physical and learn to pass out of the double. He has been passing better recently. He also can’t be asked to play the whole game. That makes him even worst because he’s scared to foul.
He’s shot 5. I get he’s made 4 but I don’t think teams are game planning for diarra. I think they would rather him have the Baal as much as possible because he’s a guaranteed turnover.Diarra's best games have come against Wichita State and USF. Both teams with big men who have significant height/weight advantages on him. He is able to use his mobility and athleticism to make up the difference.
Anyone who is going to give Diarra matchup issues will also give Vogt problems.
Diarra also presents more matchup problems of his own on the offensive end. He shoots it from 3 well enough that teams have to guard him. Being able to pull the other teams big away from the basket provides more driving lanes and rebounding opportunities.

Vogt is very soft, he was a bully to the smaller schools early in the year due to his size, but in conference play against better teams it doesn't work. I agree Diarra needs to play more and he has no choice but to play now with us only having 8-9 healthy players. Diarra absolutely has his limitations and still makes bone headed plays but its what we have, worst case scenario for us is if Scott gets into foul trouble early because then we either have to go Diarra and Vogt on the court together which I do not want or we have to go extremely small.
I also feel Brannen at times has a loyalty to Vogt because of his time at NKU, which I understand.
remember when he was saying it was brannen's fault Tre was struggling because he wasn't recruited to play in a system like this.
and then once Tre got the system down and was flourishing its because thats what happens to players.
He didn't guard Echineque vs Wichita St game 2. First game he fronted and once Wichita St figured it out they just lobbed it over his head for a dunk and we didn't try that again.
in his 30 minutes of PT vs wichita st this year he was 3 rebounds, 0 blocks, 1 stl, and 11 points.
when Vogt puts up numbers like that you go on and on about how much he sucks.

Tre and Brooks were playing very good together towards the end of last yr. Would have made for a top frontcourt this yr. I've ran into Trey frequently during his time here. Was always easy going and positive energy. Saw before the Memphis game I told him he could go pro and I really meant it. It's almost like he responded and raised his game but he was on a trajectory for this production. Just sat behind a few guys during his time but that's what good programs do. Ask for production from guys when it's needed and not out of attrition something that has been stressed this yr solid depth. Glad they pulled this one out I wanna see my team make the tournament at least certainly does matter win it all or not
we'd be to page 30 if we had lost last night.
Yeah if we lost to a well below .500 USF I’m sure we would be. Are you suggesting that people should have just been okay if we lost last night??

I swear you talk about Diarra like he would be all conference if he got the minutes lol. You crack me up
post count really got up there when we were losing. not so much after the comeback.
I think he honestly believes he would be.

The spread on this game was a couple of buckets. We were without Jarron. We were without Davenport (not a big deal except for depth). McNeal played 20 minutes. Harvey wasn't good. Jaevin did very little. Mika didn't do much. Vogt didn't do much.
We were on the road against a Q2. We were down a sizable chunk of points. We won by double digits.
Of course we were supposed to win...but with a short rotation and without your best player...can we just give the coach (and players) some credit in a MUST win situation?
Good God!!
