Scottie plays zero D and it killed us.

[CJ4IOWASTATE]

The entire team must play better defense or it will be a long year AGAIN. Scottie's D was awful. Lost his jock every time someone wanted to take the ball to the basket. Pitiful.

Way to call out a Cyclone student athlete in it's own thread. Feel better?

...well he's a sr. The bum will be gone after this year. Then you can find someone else to hate on.


I hope I don't need a jimlad for this.

Sorry to offend anybody but this fact definitely did stick out!

The whole team played terrible D. I watched McGee get beat and pull on jerseys a couple times.

I watched guards slice by Royce and he just watched.

Terrible effort from everyone, not just one player.

AND THE COACH

[Knownothing]

No help defense last night. We needed a kelvin kato down low last night to play help defense and swat some balls.

AND THE COACH

Yes, Hoiberg too. He played AWFUL defense.

jk, I get what you're saying - although I was talking about playing defense. Definitely not a good coaching night either.

Do we need separate thread to call out on a player? Come on. We didn't lose because of Scottie's D. It was lack of team effort. Hopefully they will learn and improve from this loss.

Hopefully it doesn't take th mods to long to find and close this one.

In case you're aware, basketball is a team game....You win as a team, and you lose as a team...You also play defense as a team....

Asking him to play the point is ridiculous and falls on the coaches, not Christopherson. He can't play it on either end. Just not what he is.

[Clonefan32]

I appreciate Scott for being a team player and trying to assume this new role, but I think it pretty obvious it is not working. He just isn't a point guard-- he just isn't strong or decisive enough when he gets to the paint. Even worse, it takes away his ability to get a rhythm going shooting.

Drake realized early that we were switching on all screens. They moved the ball around until they had the matchup they wanted against Scottie and went after him. We needed to quit switching and play straight-up with hedges on the screens. I agree - our help D is bad.
