TJD motioned twice for X to get moving.....just little things to button up and we'll be fine. I hope. I wasn't planning on drinking this afternoon because of Christmas party later but one more lazy pass and I'm starting. Rookie mistake...I started drinking before tipoff!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats THE problem sometimes. If trayce is lazy and throws passes away, we suck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty annoying. I like a guy that is ready to fight but he's really being the punk here, twice at least. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised we don't try to control tempo, instead playing it to ND strength. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're the point guard of the team and aren't making decisions that help the offense be successful, you're going to hear the criticism. His performance tonight looks more like his second half Wisky performance than some of the better games he's had this year. Poor initiation of the offense consistently because he's looking for his shot over getting his teammates involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to control tempo with all of the turnovers and not shooting great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierdave Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 Like I said earlier, low basketball IQ on this team is so concerning. No backdoor cut or utilizing the 2 on 1 you have up top to free up your best shooter for an open look 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 That was a really good move by Trayce. I don’t think he had that in his arsenal last year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inequality Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 I think XJ tries so hard that he gets caught up playing catch up on missed plays or turnovers. Through emotion. Instead of just moving on to the next play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hippopotamo Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 It’s great seeing obvious adjustments after timeouts. The high low action to Race was great, and TJD got a clean, open touch in the paint on the next play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, he's shooting 48% from the field, 46% from 3, and has a 2:1 assist to turnover ratio. He does need to improve there, but the criticism is way overstated. His teammates and coaches didn't do him any favors the last few minutes of the Wisconsin game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hippopotamo Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 We’re up by 3 after playing like complete garbage for about 15 minutes. Let’s put them away early in the 2nd half. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
