I'd like to see us come out at half-time with Royce, Booker, Gibson, McGee and Allen.

we arent going t win many games if we continue to play defense like this and not move around on offense.

Despite that awful last 12 minutes only being down 5 is good IMO. Time for Fred to earn his money and make some adjustments at halftime.

This team has no idea how to play defense. I don't think anyone understood how much Lutz is missed.

The problems this team has would not have been solved by Lutz. Lutz had all the transfers all last year..did he not teach them anything? It's on the players. Fred knows how to coach.

Good lord Royce has no idea what to do on post defense.

He's fine until the shot. When a player is backing him down, he's good. Turns, he's fine. Takes the shot, fails. He needs to contest the shot. Jump at it, over rotate, do something. He just stands there.

Overall, not a horrible half. Poor post defense, and bad bad shooting by us. haven't really taken good looks (Royce should not be taking 18 footers), haven't pushed the tempo, and haven't hit open shots. Need to play a lot better in the second half, but down 5 isin't really far away from what I was expecting.
