The 2-win Prohm team lost 95-56 to an extremely mediocre Miss St team. It's okay to admit you were being ridiculous.
That was an embarrassing effort defensively. They should have beaten that team by 40.
Why is it that other teams have no problem making free throws?
Gilbert with the quietest 21 and 7 assists I’ve ever seen. Only 1 TO. Great game from him.
Perhaps the staff was really focused on getting some things opened up on offense this week and will synch up the defense as they move along.
Man I hope so. They had no answer for the high ball screen. We REALLY miss Hason Ward. He’s able to switch a little better and at least adds some shot blocking.
R. Jones also had foul trouble which may hsve effected things.
When this team is playing well they're pretty good but get pretty average quickly.
Hopefully that evens out too.
Defense left a bit to be desired but it seemed like they let off the gas the last part of the game. They were turning DePaul over like crazy to start the 2nd.
I hope for/expect a more intense effort against the hawks. We can’t let them get hot.
Perimeter D is a big concern going into the Iowa game.
No he said really nice things about Hilton and the fans.
Not if we can't guard the 3 point area better. Iowa will absolutely feast on that. We all know they get little woodies when they face us...
The Cy-Hawk bball game has a history of unexpected heros, for both sides, so maybe next Thursday will be Omaha's time.
Seems like everyone is shooting way above average against us. It's not bad defense though. This team works hard.
career nights seem to happen against us a lot. They shot really well, especially from 3.
Advanced analytics guys would tell you that 3 point defense is mostly luck. The way to measure how effective a team is at defending the 3 isn't 3 pt percentage, but just stopping teams from getting a 3 pt shot off. Seems like we put an emphasis on stopping shots in the paint at the expense of allowing some open 3s.
We're a good program. People want to beat us.
