Johnson  29/5/4  2 stl and a block.  as advertised.

i actually think he looked better than advertised. more well rounded. i was expecting a keyonte george type scorer, and what we’ve got is a tall, long, versatile gym rat who gives great effort at both ends of the court, who showed some high IQ and some PG skills. that’s as promising a debut as he could have made imo.

I think the most disheartening part of this is realizing we just don't have the players.    And now we're all waiting on a guy who is in a walking boot to pop out of it completely healthy and be instant offense.  Oy vey

Just remember who assembled this team, with a lot of NIL available. 

Compare player movement on the floor with teams like Kansas and Gonzaga. It’s just completely different. We don’t have the coach, and we need to just let this season and next happen because it’s going to be a rough two years. 

The elite 8 run was a leftover of Beard coaching early in the year and previously, combined with a very good team with great chemistry and hustle.

Terry’s assembled team on full display and unfortunately…..

Kansas state was happy kaluma left. Volume shooter that sucks at shooting

I’m gonna reserve some thoughts for a few games but I figured the offense was gonna be a mess. It’s a lot of spread and one on one kick outs which is just glorified street ball with spacing. Some times it works but most of the time it won’t and not when you can’t push the ball in transition and run which is what I think Rodney wants to do and if we get put in a half court set(and we will the majority of games) you will see a ton of bad shots with no ball movement or off the ball movement.

I'm going to enjoy Tre Johnson and hope the rest gels. 

it would be nice to have a couple more grown-ass men on this team though.

PG looks like it will be an issue……again. In a structured offense, you can work with that. In this offense, you’re hoping for a 10 seed. We will give up a ton of threes because of our shot selection on offense.

Ohio State ran probably a half dozen set plays that got wide open threes or dunks.  Can anyone remember a single one for us?

[bschoolprof 6221]

what is a set play?  you can run those?

I don't want to overreact per the first game, but it's so GD frustrating that our offense is basically who wants to take the contested shot or go 1 v 3 in the lane?
