We win this game, but the team looks a lot like they did during last year‘s tournament on the defensive end. It just wasn’t all there yet…once the new guys get up to speed and everyone settles into their roles…..it’ll get better.

I'm not sure if they win tonight. Things are kind of a slog right now but otherwise not real worried. They have some things to work through.

Might end up with 3-4 non-con losses though.

Impressed with Dayton’s crisp ball movement, speed and floor spacing. Completely made our aggressive trapping defense ineffective and actually used it against us because we end up out of position.

I can’t remember a team that had more trouble catching simple passes

Outside of that it’s been a tired, slow team which is maybe understandable after a tough game yesterday. MAYBE.

But it’s also looked like a poorly coached team.
But other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

I should have clarified it was after Gilbert got the 3rs fouls. There was time to sub him out of the game several times under 1 min with 2 fouls. Stayed in and got fouls 3

That’s kind of a coaching staff 101 especially after watching him sit half the game yesterday in foul trouble

Oh we're already in the 'get him out of there even though the other PG has 2 fouls!' phase.

Did you want Lipsey, who had 2 fouls, to get his third?

We are going to win the. Dayton is a solid NCAA team.

People don't get that this game happens for elite teams frequently.
Just think about how many times we've been awful (and of course, Dayton is definitely not awful), but hung with teams through a half.

If we bring our defense and intensity for the 2nd half, we get this.

Man I'm really concerned our bigs just athletically can't play the defense tj wants to play. Book is getting out on this defense too, skip pass for wide open 3 is really tough for us to defend
BRE could guard out on the perimeter like nobody's business. I think his loss will be apparent as the season goes on. I think we get better on O but our D ends up in the 20s instead of Top 5 like we are used to.

Jones is not a crazy man with the ball. Give KG a step and THEN let him do his crazy ****. Don't let him have the ball in his hands for 20 seconds to start the clock. D is all over him from the start.

That's a good point. Cujo's got the dribbles right now too though.

Stop ****ing dribbling so much guys!

There.

Fixed the season.
