Lack of outside shooting

[Herndon]

Is officially a problem, y'all.

Our defense is worse...f everyone

I was assured it's too early in the season to worry about this.

What's going on with Otis? He was our best outsider shooter last season and he's 0-0. Why aren't we trying to get him open looks on the outside? Grayer is barely playing. Mar looks like he's regressed massively. These were our most reliable shooters last year.

Lack of defense is just as bad. We give up layups and struggle to score. Not a recipe for success.

Agreed, they were our most reliable players. They are now the most reliable to be a liability.

Boyd is shooting well from 3. Otis just looks lost, dribbling too much. He needs to put this team on his back and go score!

Otis had 10 assists tonight. He clearly is trying to play more of a facilitator role than scoring this season, but we do need him to be more aggressive looking for his shot.

We need to be able to run some action that doesn’t start with an on-ball screen at the top of the key.

I think Otis actually has taken us out of any rhythm. I agree, too much dribbling, and then a look to try to find an open man. No real ball movement or player movement when he is in. Yes, he had 10 assists tonight but not in the context of an offensive scheme in my opinion. Defensively he remains a liability. Stand around and watch Otis try to create is not a recipe for sustained success. That's my 2 cents and I'm sticking to it. The 1st team A10 hype may not have been a good thing.
