We are soft. SOFT! Like a bunch of marshmallows.
Uninspired D. No effort on the boards.
And our offense. It is boring to watch, easy to defend, and flat out stinks.
You cannot run a post up isolation (like they do in the pros) for Brackins. There are no illegal defense calls in the college game, so there is all kinds of help other players can provide to deny him the ball. You have to get him moving more. Like Coach Knight says, the best way to get open is to set a screen yourself. All I ever see is one cross screen on one diagonal screen - wait, scratch that. We most see pick and roll ball screens with only 2 guys involved in the play, and it usually goes no where.
Our front court got whooped tonight. Whooped.
Everyone likes to look at the stat line, but the best stat line is to look at the guy you guarded to determine how you played.
