I feel like JO has been a lot less patience in recent games making moves into the basket. Like after he makes one move he just kicks it back outside rather than going for a second move like he was doing earlier in the season. Or he settles for a tougher shot. Still kind of wondering if he has a lingering injury or something that's making him playlist aggressively down low

He's certainly not blowing by defenders recently.

Working it from mid to deep now though.

As soon as I said JO wasn't being aggressive enough then he just nails like four shots in a row lol....

Oduro on fire and our team defense is impressive. Keep forcing long contested threes. I love it

 

[GMUgemini]

Ok Oduro said screw it…going to score all the points

Yeah all the defensive possessions since Buchanan have come in have been really solid.

Now mention that Blake Jones needs to stay in front if his man.

And players need to stay on their feet!

I really don't understand KE's rotations. Should be playing Henry over Jones, Frazier over Bucannon, Gray over Hartwell.

Not sure why OTis over Buchanan. OTis doesn’t do much well and Buchanan is great on defense and a hell of a lot smarter and Gray may be the worst scholarship guy since DPs first class.

 

[tblack33]

Terrible ending to this half.

Henry, yeah probably. Def not Frazier. Hartwell and Gray is a pick 'em of which you'd rather be mad at when they're on the floor.

 

[GMUgemini]

settling for a lot of bad shots. Letting st. Joes get inside

 

[GMUgemini]

Jones needs to sit the entire second half playing like that.

 

[Patriotsince81]

Too many quick 3's. Blake, you can just stop shooting.

Otis shoots really well statistically. He's about the only bench player that can score. He rebounds. Defends OK. A big body. And has two years of eligibility after this. Has the highest ceiling of any of the bench players as we have seen a couple times.

Gray has 3 more years of eligibility and is not a net negative on defense like Hartwell.

Henry so obviously needs to play over Jones, I won't even go into that one.

 

[GMUgemini]

Henry, yeah probably. Def not Frazier. Hartwell and Gray is a pick 'em of which you'd rather be mad at when they're on the floor.

Henry would have given us a more physical presence on the inside, which we needed, and he wouldn’t have been jacking up threes

 

[gmutom]

It’s remarkable how average we are when Josh isn’t on the floor and playing well. I get that he’s our best player, but we just become so one-dimensional when he’s out — meaning we just launch a bunch of 3s.

 

[Irish44j]

XJ has a couple good scoring games and suddenly he thinks he's Steph Curry and just chucks up threes from any distance at any time.... Most of which are misses.

 

[tblack33]

Why’s ticket not guarding hall?
