Where is the amazing offense this team was supposed to have this year? I haven't seen anything good out of the offense outside of the cupcakes to prove that it's any better than the defense this season.
Our offense was more than enough to beat UW at the Kohl Center. It looked amazing against Washington. We are in a terrible stretch right now. Get these guys back in class.
We don't have an offense

DJO was best when someone drives and kicks out.
The way he's trying to do so much - for himself - he's looking like a Philippines basketball prospect.
DJO is MIA

Wisconsin - no way; that was on our D. MU shot near 38% on 8 assists. I'll give you Washington. So that's 1 game this year.
This offense just isn't that good.
JR's been Godawful, as well. WE NEED A PG IN THE 2013 CLASS!!
Djo is real streaky. When hes on he is on when he is off he is way off and forces everything!!

We don't have good floor spacing right now for the drive and kick out. We keep putting two people on the block, with the help side sagging that puts three defenders in the lane. It is hard to drive into that. We need some more of the 4 out 1 in drive and kick offense right now. Especially without Gardner in there.

Too bad. NBA scouts who are in the building watching Ezeli are probably crossing his name off the 2nd round list altogether.

Touche. I guess I'm trying to be an optimist. There's no way the offense is this bad. We know that both DJO and Jae are capable of putting up 20+ against quality competition. Maybe it is the Otule factor, its just hard for me to believe that. Who knows?
I'll admit, despite all the early season "not worried about our offense" posts (not by me), I'm worried about our offense.
This game is not out of hand due to defensive problems (though defense doesn't look good either).
We can't attack the paint. We don't have the interior scoring. Gardner's limitations are magnified in a game like this.

We don't need the drive and kick. Two passes were intercepted that way!
We need to mix it up and draw fouls in the paint!

They have tried to run that this year. It doesn't work real well. We don't move enough.
Too many non-scorers (Blue, JR, D. Wilson, Anderson, Jones) and too many streaky shooters (DJO, Crowder, J. Wilson) to make a comeback bid realistic.
Alright...3 very nice offensive possesions to start the half.
Yeah, until two Junior turnovers and a Junior missed three.

We just have been a terrible three point shooting team.
