first 4 minutes is why i dont think you can get away with playing stute and assemian at the 4 and 5. 4 offensive rebounds given up already, though one was after they brought in kapic.
lamont has been promoting the pump fake but the pump fake does you no good if you then wait too long to counter and then shoot right into their extended arm
i think we're getting too indecisive. meechie dribbling into trouble then picking up the ball and not having an option but to shoot a bad shot or force a bad pass. like that last one tries to drive picks up dribble at the ft line then looks for a pass and when it isnt there forces up a bad shot
11 offensive rebounds given up. started to do a better job on the boards as the half went on then the last two possessions we give up offensive boards and it results in 5 pts for them. 38-31 down at the half
i have no idea what paris is thinking trotting out his smallest possible lineup after we've struggled to rebound the ball. we're a beat slow on everything today. too slow to make a pass, too slow to make a cut, too slow to react so they get every 50/50 ball. lamont isnt helping with his lineups. we get out of a hole and he goes right back to the lineups that got us into the hole in the first place. butler 45 sc 34
butler 79 sc 72 final. played too sloppy and too poorly on both ends. butler didnt even play particularly well, more turnovers than assists, 14 ft's missed and they were able to win comfortably. waiting to see the plus minus stats on the official site.
Thanks @crowcutta, dame me from having to watch the game I recorded. I am worried about our ability to rebound when we get into league play -- sounds like we haven't figured that out yet.
its going to be a struggle because all our bigs our flawed in one way or another either lack of size or lack of athleticism. one thing paris has to figure out is we cant play stute at the 4 without a true center next to him or at the 4 period for extended minutes unless we are lights out on offense which we werent or the opposing team isnt targeting him which they were.
We can match up fairly well with lesser talented lower level teams but anyone with a post player is gonna give this team fits. Need a lot of things to go right in a game and less room for error. We showed some flashes the last game but this one looked soft again. Conference play is gonna be a nightmare.
We can not continue to play Stute and Knox in the same lineup...both are only on the floor for offense, and when either/neither are scoring they bring very little to the game.
I couldn’t watch the game today, unfortunately. Anyone have a good theory on why Assemian played as little as he did, given that he was a starter? Statistically, he had a lot less PFs than a good many others. And as noted by another, he’s helpful to keep the Stute/Knox tandem off the floor at the same time.
