  1. guaranteed big NIL and starter / star role with no restrictions on shot selection.
  2. Onyema deserves to start unless he falls flat and Shed flips the switch on
  3. Can’t effectively contest the 3 or prevent the easy layup … defense looks like it’s junior high AAU level
  4. And following that on offense we planned or allowed Johnson to take an off balance double teamed 3 pointer with just under a minute left to seal the loss … frustrating If our coaching in crunch time is to let Johnson make something difficult happen, we need to scrap the coaching staff at seasons end … if Johnson is add libbing and not running plays, he needs a strong dose of the hard coaching rather than the have fun and be yourself variety
  5. Good god horns, gotta contest the fucking layups on defense…
  6. Is his recovery from surgery in time to practice a high likelihood?
  7. I think Terry needs to go to the Chris Beard summer coaching seminar where they cover defensive fundamentals. As for offense, we run simplified pick and roll and iso sets that don't work very well in crunch time when we need a decent look at the basket. It's confounding that he cannot implement some effective options for guys to pop open when Johnson is getting double-teamed ... perhaps he's trying and Johnson isn't running what they want. Shed and Onyema are not earning their NIL. Time to give Kent and our freshman bigs (Codie and Vinson?) more minutes. Johnson needs some tough coaching about shot selection, game management, and technique and effort on defense.
  8. We are in love with the long shot at the moment … gotta get to the rims and maybe draw some fouls to mix it up
  9. Pope just cooked that long sleeve wearing booger eating aggie kid
  10. it's nice to have the three point weapon for a change, but we need to continue work on moving to ball to get better looks on those and taking advantage of drives and drop offs to the rolling man when the threes are being overplayed on defense by opponents.
  11. Johnson is hitting some difficult shots which is nice I guess for locking in a win against a cupcake, but I was hoping to see more the style of off ball movement and screening with lots of ball movement that we’ve seen the past few games in his absence …. It’s been a lot of 4 out with one guy trying isolation instead when Johnson’s on the floor. Johnson is a highly skilled player, but he’s young and needs some reminding about the hard shots being there at the end of the shot clock if we need one after trying to get an higher percentage open look first. Not seeing any meaningful minutes for Codie or Pryor who have earned more work in these types of games. I guess Kent needs their minutes to get back on the court. Maybe we’re just keeping it basic so as not to give the upcoming conference opponents too much to scout. Overall we’ve looked better since the UConn as whopping (granted against shittier competition)… interested to see how they show against the Aggies in a few days
  12. He was a little dinged up vs UCONN so they’re getting him extra rest while we play a couple of these creampuffs on the schedule
  13. With the interior defense and rebounding void we have, making the tournament would be a victory. That said, roster building is on the coach. We didn't need an all conference center or power forward, just a couple guys that could come in and do the dirty work. Instead we are a team of large guards/small forwards. I am somewhat optimistic about our point play improving, but our center play is dreadful and will spell our doom when we get into the SEC games, absent some unanticipated, sudden improvement.
