So you can just barrel roll on the floor without a travel now?

I think so, Ive seen a ton of it already.

I knew we would take a slight step back defensively but wow we need to sharpen it up fast, just lack of attention to detail.

 

[Rabbuk]

Do we need to guard that Malone guy out to 26 feet?

I honestly think it will right when the conditioning sets in. We seem to go through this year after year.

I’m fairly certain the defensive struggles are just rust. We saw similar stuff last year around this team against VCU, VT and Texas A&M

 

[KCyclone2010]

It’s honestly really shocking to see this defense get so shredded after what we’ve been used to the last few years. TJ has a lot of work to do with them

 

[Prone2Clone]

I guess we are going to continue with the aggressive double team but leave someone wide open defensive strategy…

TJ must always think, "They'll stop making them any time now."

Our opponents have been dragging our bigs out to the perimeter all tournament.

Problem is TJ’s scheme assumes they are as good as last year - and they aren’t (at least not right now). Would love to see some adjustments instead of continuing to aggressively double team but get burnt after they pass out of it.

Our defense has looked so bad this tournament. Hope they get it figured out before conference play

Giving up a lot of open 3s and back cuts for layups. That last inbounds play we gave up a layup is a play every high school team uses in the country.
May want to kick the tires on Watson imo
What’s it going to hurt?

 

[KCyclone2010]

We seem incapable of corralling lose balls on rebounds too. Every single one goes off of our hands

 

[NWICY]

The defense is a work in progress IMO

 

[Cyhig]

Frontcourt depth will be put to the test today with the foul issues

 

[xboxfever]

Heise with awful defense leading to a wide open look from the corner and then commits the foul. Don’t understand why this kid plays so much.

 

[Stumbles]

Good trap.

 

[t-noah]

Just heard form the annoucers that Lipsey is not 100% due to a "left" shoulder injury a couple of weeks ago.

Anyone heard of this? First time for me.

Yesterday you could slide on the floor with the basketball, so this doesn't surprise me.

It's a mystery to me, too.

 

[cycloneworld]

Great D by Milan!

 

[Darius Bieber]

We're better out of the timeouts on defense than we are on offense.
