What happened to us being the Gonzaga of the east??? Is this rock bottom folks?

Forget rock bottom, we are going to drill to the core.

So can we lay out way positives we did see in the first half of basketball? I know it's a pretty short list.

kolek looked confident. Daddy looked like a contributor. XJ and Greene will be important keys in the backcourt.

Otherwise, they were out hustled, out rebounded and just out willed.

I saw pretty much the same. Pleasantly surprised by Dady tbh.

I love AJ, but he should be absolutely dominating these guys on offense. Hope that we aren't going to get an Otis senior year from him this year, really needed him to be the player we saw at the end of last year on both ends of the ball.

 

[Patriotsince81]

Only 9 rebounds. 9 turnovers. Sounds like the same old song for 20 minutes.

What happened to Miller? Same old Paulson, looks like schoolyard play.

 

[FreeGunston12]

Would love to know the difference in points in the paint. AJ and Oduro have spent way too much time trying to extend their shooting range and way too little time developing post moves. Not that the ball ever finds them there anyways.

 

[tblack33]

A10 coaches have to be licking their chops watching us turn over the ball 9 times to a damn D2 school. How many times have to heard Dave talk about limiting turnovers being a pillar of his offense? They are pressuring us, but it's not like it's a great pressure, certainly no Havoc...

 

[GMUYoda]

I'm just waiting for gmujim92 to come in and tell us how great this all is... even though he did say this year was a PUSU year for Paulsen

 

[mkaufman1]

Good energy from Oduro out of half

Thanks Oduro. Now you're doing it. AJ's turn.

 

[GMUYoda]

WTF was that? Steal and then an airball floater?

 

[sleeperpick]

Jordan looks legitimately lost on both sides

 

[tblack33]

Jamal is 100% not showing why he should be starting tonight. Meanwhile Javon 100% showing why he should be.

 

[gmutom]

Thanks Oduro. Now you're doing it. AJ's turn.

Exactly. It would be nice for some people hold AJ and Miller to the same standard they hold Oduro to. Josh and Greene are keeping us in the game so far.

 

[GMUYoda]

now THAT was a nice pass from the high post to Oduro for the layup

 

[tblack33]

I'll just leave this here. Oduro looks good offensively. But everyone keep in mind who is guarding him....

 

[sleeperpick]

Exactly. It would be nice too some people hold AJ and Miller to the same standard they hold Oduro to. The kid is keeping us in the game so far.

LMAO AJ has sucked and Jordan looks completely lost... glad Oduro is able to score and turn the ball over while playing 0 interior defense against D2 kids.. should give him a trophy

I can't speak for everyone, but i'm 100% not giving AJ or Miller an excuse for this. They should be absolutely dominating this game and they have been pretty much non factors on offense.

 

[sleeperpick]

Kolek 1-3 from 3 and can't dribble with his right hand.. should I just call him an All-American as well?

 

[GMUgemini]

I'll just leave this here. Oduro looks good offensively. But everyone keep in mind who is guarding him....

He's pretty skilled offensively...if he was the big coming off the bench, I'd be pretty happy with what he'd contribute. Having him play almost 40 minutes a game? Not so much.
