Our defense eliminates any hope

[Daniel]

Ross has been exponentially disappointing. DO certainly tries much harder than Rowsey ever did, but the results are somehow even worse than Rowdy's.

Ben is still solid, except for the really stupid fouls hedging 35 feet from the basket. Parham has clearly taken a nice step forward and not just because of the blocks, though those are nice, too.

I think inexperience is a component but not the whole story.  What in the world is Ross doing "guarding" the ball or man?  He'll get steals but he gets beat like a drum.  We have to stop the ball.  Maybe drop back a bit instead of pressuring?   And since our bigs can't get back fron the high hedge, why continue to do it?  Allowing like 25 bunnies a game is ridiculous. 

I do not like the high hedge at all.  When has it worked?   Then we are scrambling to cover the cutter and try to protect the rim.  Keep a big under the basket!    Then what do I know
