Trimble's confidence in the 3 is growing as season goes on. We can win this game. Shamorie hasn't even scored yet. Let's support these guys - they are shorthanded and staying close.
 
Huge shot by Trimble and an even bigger shot by LJ. I think we are fine. X is not dumping it down low much, instead taking threes and crashing boards. Averages say X won’t shoot lights out all 40 minutes
 
Need shamorie to take control. Trimble shooting well. Need to speed up the pace of the game
 
We're getting killed on the boards on both ends. On offense we have nobody inside in position to fight for rebounds and they always have a few big bodies inside to fight for ORebs. We almost never even get an uncontested defensive rebound. We also don't have any natural rebounders who are used to banging inside.

You can't consistently win with that kind of rebounding mismatch outside the NBA.
 
Shooting well. So so decision making. But we need to find a defensive scheme to get more boards. And pressure for ORebs too. Roberts could be useful here.

You mean Simon?
 
We have to speed up their guards and create turnovers and some easy baskets in transition because our half court offense looks extremely fragmented and disjointed
 
Our 4 forwards have 1 rebound combined. That's a major problem. We can't have everybody playing on the perimeter.
 
With no Heron, we need some offense from Shamorie. Seems like Chris is resting Clark to keep him out of foul trouble for second half. But we need to be within 6 or 7 at the half. Down 10 is not good.

Not trying to be negative but I don't see how we have any shot in this game. We have no answer for the zone. It perfectly shuts down Shamorie from scoring and clogs the whole middle. Plus we're doing nothing to establish tempo. I can't fathom why we're not pressing. With Xavier having their 3s fall I don't see how we hang around.
 
The only thing consistent about this team is how crappy they play after a big win. I don't know what the answer is.

I agree, plus our defense has been atrocious. They are getting whatever they want on offense and wide open looks
 
Ponds wrist really bothering him. This is why I told you guys when you thought he was playin injured there was no way. When he’s hurt, he makes it so obvious, constantly shaking out his wrist
