Oso planning to go pro
Since 1/11 we are 6-3. Most of that time you disappeared from here.
I expect our guards + BB to attack the basket. They had no inside presence to fear yet we once again sat on the perimeter chucking way too many possessions
Who did we play during that stretch? We gonna brag about beating the blind and the deaf?
Their confidence has to be shot due to how bad we are from 2. We're 291 in 2 pt FG%. Absurdly bad. On "close" two's we're 282...
It would really help to have a reliable 2nd scorer. BB can be just terrible at times, Koby & Sacar cannot be counted on either. Hate to say it, but the difference between a .500 BE team and a upper level BE team is at UVA.
BB averages about 3/4 of ONE free throw a game. He never has and never will "attack the basket".The most likely occurrence when Koby attacks the basket is a turnover or a miss.We saw a Creighton team that attacked the basket all night long. That is why they won.
It looks like hes getting beat up because they have a practice squad around him trying to compete in high major ball
You realize all of the Big East is in the top 70 right? There are no easy opponents.
Are we counting the ~200 CBB teams that dont matter when comparing the top 70 to a total?
Sincere thank you to Tower, TAMU, and others who actually dissected the team's performance of the game last night. It's unfortunate that after every loss we can't take the time to actually evaluate what happened because most of the time is spent arguing opinions on how disappointed we should be. If you come on the board just to vent your frustrations after a loss, you're doing nothing productive except spreading misery on top of the let down already felt after a loss. You're either selfish and blind to how you come across to others or you're a trolling badger fan. Former: You must suck to talk to at parties... be better. Latter: Kudos, you're doing great!
So you think only games against top 25 or so teams matter because they are the good teams?
Where did I say that?
People on here complaining about Wojo's game plan of us not "taking the ball inside" and "settling for threes" seem to completely miss this point. Our post players are excellent defenders and rebounders, but not scorers. Even our forwards (Bailey, Cain) aren't particularly skilled at scoring near the basket. The stats bear this out.But we ARE one of the best three point shooting teams in the country. 15th in 3P% and 7th three-point makes per game. Play to your strengths. I actually really liked some of the offensive sets that started with Markus off ball in the corner. He would draw their best defender and usually some help to one side of the floor, which gave the others some room to work. This often leads to open threes.Unfortunately we clanked a lot of shots last night. If we shoot our normal 38% we win. Live by the three, die by the three.
You weren't impressed teams being in the top 70. Where is the line where you think a win is a good win?
There's no black or white. I'm not counting beating DePaul a good win
Xavier a good win? Butler? Georgetown? Providence?
@Butler would be a good win.
Same with any other road game in the conference
Down 1 w 5 seconds left. Doable.
I don't really know how to explain it, but Creighton just looked "smarter." Backdoor cuts, knowing when/where to pass, etc.
So Butler must be a good team if you'd consider that a good win.
If there was anything that gave me concern about Wojo this season, it is this. I thought with the Hausers leaving and Jayce coming in, we would have to change into a much more paint oriented team. I thought the additions of Greg, Jayce, and Koby, along with improvement from Sacar, Jamal, and Theo would lead to more slashing, post ups, and passing out of the paint. I give Wojo credit for taking guys like Bailey, Cain, Sacar, and Elliott and turning them into solid three point shooters, but the lack of slashing ability is really concerning. Wojo's offensive system is effective for sure, but I wonder if the pieces we have would have been better suited in a different approach.Will be interesting if Karim Mane does come on board. My impression of him is that he is an okay shooter but an elite slasher.
