Title: Just plain bad basketball right now
Post by: axaguy on January 18, 2025, 08:55:18 PM
Team and coaching staff must replay the tape of the Wisconsin game. Best played game of the year. We have gotten away from what worked successfully at that time. We are NOT a good three point shooting team. Nothing to certainly bank on. Heck, three made in first half today and total 31% shooting forcing threes!!! Give me a break.... Need to get back to deliberate offense and look for twos and make close in baskets. Way too much shooting threes...
Also need to turn up the tempo again on defense which creates some offense. Think we've been reading the sports news and drinking the Cool Aid that we are a top ten team.... Very good team we are but must regain our edge or we'll be a quick out in the tourney.
We got lucky vs. DePaul. They deserved to win, really. We stole one. Didn't today playing do poorly. Don't tell me about no quiting etc. Never should have been in that spot in the first place. If Kam isn't feeling it others need to step up, bench included.
Just saying our overall game needs to improve to previous levels and fast. Can't be looking at us through rose colored glasses. Was at the DePaul game and they played tough. Not surprised they beat Georgetown away today!! Could be us next if we don't smarten up...Not buying being tired, long season, etc. Sorry, what I think.

He says make more layups, play better defense, everybody step up.  Not wrong.

Our 2pt percentage has been really bad in recent games.

Definitely not a reason to push threes by any means. Work needs to be focused on finishing.... We have often, lately, left lots of points on the table when in close... Just saying
