If Walker and to a lesser extent Sparks see much floor time Sunday we are in trouble. I think they will have spots this year where each will shine but i think it will be in B1G play not against tip tier out of conference teams. CJ and Kaleb are going to have to pull up their big boy pants and do what they're supposed to without getting too hyped up and trying to do to much. Play solid D and make open shots when they come within the flow of the offense. If they, or any of the other bench guys try to force the action when they get in, it will get ugly quick.

He only took 3 shots; a break away layup and 2 base line jumpers that were wide open and in rythm. Im not saying he needs to go bonkers and put up 10-15 shots or anything, but i didnt think he forced anything tonight and if he picks and chooses his shots like that going forward with maybe a 3 or two if they are there then he will be fine and get more confident.

Going to need Cupps and X(when he returns) to take a few more shots from deep. They can both hit them and if they both can hit 1 or 2 in the game its going to open up things even more.

I dont care if we switch on screens or if we dont switch on screens as long as everyone on our team knows which it is and plays accordingly. Its looked like most of the team is switching and there are a couple guys following thru the screen. And for the love of all things holy, if we are going to dig at the post, dig and recover quick dont dig, dig, dig, dig....oh crap my guy hit another 3.

I liked the shot too. Wide open on a BLOB, he just needs to relax a lotta bit. I think he's pressing so much to contribute he's just too amped up.

Id be happy dropping 260 on UConn. 😏😁

At this point i think the question is can we hold UConn to 60 at half. 🤷‍♂️

Sooooo....do we need to hit/elbow MM in the jaw before every game? 🤔 itd have to be a walk-on in warmups....might get taken outa context if a coach did it. 🤷‍♂️

🙋‍♂️ i said it and it wasnt meant as a knock ok Malik. Start smaller, then you can bring Malik in at the 4 and have a talented front court to shoulder some of the scoring, then when the next round of subs come in, move Malik to the 5 and give Ware a break when we get more of a 4-1 look again. I coached pee-wee basketball for 3 years....im somewhat of an expert on the matter.

All jokes aside, i dont know what to think about this team. I think there are spots when we can and should play Malik and Ware at the same time but having 2 bigs on the floor leaves us always chasing our tails on defense and stuck in the mud on offense. I dont know who should play at this point though. X, Trey, MM, Cupps & Ware is what id run with the most. Let Malik be the rock of the 2nd unit, bring Gunn and Banks in for Cupps/Trey and MM and then work a break in for the other 2. Id leave Walker and Sparks on the bench except for spot minutes.

Does anyone know why we brought back Crean's top of the key weave? It just looks like pointless fluff to start the offense. We dont look to drive off of it, never back cut. We look like the Washington Generals trying to play to Sweet Georgia Brown.

One of Ware or Malik need to be in the paint working with shooters (which we dont have enough of) and slashers (which dont understand the defense yet) spacing the floor.

We help too much, go under screens and dont know where we're supposed to be......then trade 2's for 3's. This is not a good recipie for winning at the moment. Id like to see somebody on our team absolutely lose their 💩 on the rest of the team when they are playing with their heads in their @sses.

100%!!! Most teams are going to a 4-1 lineup and we are fielding teams that constantly get beat on the perimeter and gives up 3s.

Can't forget Ivan Renko....even comming from USSR he was welcomed with open arms. 🤣

Little white pg thats a good shooter is where i got hulls from. No in depth game breakdown was done. More of a PIA on defense than hulls but not quite as good of a shooter. Mr. Tyra Buss came to mind too.

I was thinking Hulls/Kraft hybrid 🤷‍♂️...but ya, neither of those mash ups piss me off at all. 😁

Too often we (im as guilty as anyone) talk about the depth we have going into a season just to play 7, maybe 8 after Janurary. I think the potential for depth would be a better phrase to use. "If the guys play up to their ceilings this year, our depth could be a real asset."

Just from that little exchange, you can tell we've come a long way from the RMK years...they'd be yelling "Hold my beer n watch this!" 🤣

Great person, good leader of men.....needs better football minds around him to be successful.

Not sure we have a top d2 head coach. 🤷‍♂️

You mean you dont like the run, run, incomplete, punt offense?

That might be a little too far for us to walk to the stadium.

Got tickets for the game Saturday but no parking pass. Suggestions on best place to park for me and my 10 yr old?

I dunno, my shooting percentage has really improved from beating the breaks off of my 10 yr old in horse n around the world in the driveway. 🤷‍♂️🤣
