  1. This is not a good defensive squad. Not good individually. Not good defensively as a team. It is staggering how bad our perimeter defense is in particular. Our guards don't play tight 1:1 defense, they don't fight through screens, and our bigs are basically worthless perimeter help defenders. Pope and Wilcher are particularly noteworthy bad defenders. Weaver provides hustle, but isn't really a very good individual defender either. Mark can play decent defense... when motivated. Half the time there is a 3, it seems to be in the face of Vokietaitis who is failing to close out. Add it all up and our 3P% defense is #287 in the country. And our ability to create steals and turnovers is #303 and #283 in the country. Horrid, horrid defensive work from our guards. When I hear Pope say that "we will do better", I want to see him start by putting in effort on the defensive end. Our guards are 6'2, 6'3, 6'4 and 6'5 and have plenty of athleticism. Weaver should be able to lock down the best opposing guard. Same with Wilcher. They should be smothering. Nope nope nope.
  2. Had to turn it off because of Galindo. My goodness he is horrible.
  3. I can blame Miller for Traore. He recruited him from Xavier, so he knew what he was getting. And that is a one trick rebounding pony.
  4. I like that Mark only played 17 min. Codie and Duru didn’t even get in the game. Love that Miller is confident enough as a coach to play the players most able to get us a win on a given night. When Heide fouled out, I felt certain we would replace him with Mark. Nope, here comes Wilcher. Awesome.
  5. Man, Traore with another 14 rebounds last night in just 13 minutes. The dude cleans the glass so well, but the rest of his game just isn't very good. Dude is averaging 21.4 TRB/40 min, which is insane.
  6. Our "go-to" guy who has a potential NBA future was shooting 2 free throws to ice the game with 20 seconds left. And he bricked them both as an 85% FT shooter. 2% chance of that happening. Fail.
  7. That was one of the least fun games I’ve ever watched. Holy hell.
  8. Pope with the corner 3! My shit talk earlier worked!
  9. Oh my fuck can we go 30 seconds without a foul
  10. We aren’t a good shooting team, but we are a very good rebounding team. Kind of covers the weakness a bit.
  11. It would be cool if we could feed the post
  12. If Pope would work as hard to get open off the ball as he does once he gets the ball, he would have some wide open shots. He isn’t good enough to be constantly trying step back 3s. I don’t care that he hit one. That will just encourage him to jack more.
  13. If Pope can’t hit that corner 3, he is basically worthless.
