Because he's not seeing a lot of minutes as a freshman? AJ will be just fine. There's not a harder worker on that bench.

No, not because of his lack of minutes. Because of his lack of production. He came out of the gate ok, but is shooting at 29% since the first game of the year. AJ is clearly not on the court for defense, so that's not cutting it. And that's why his minutes have dried up.

I hope he turns it around. If not, I still feel good about our other Freshmen.

15 point half for Hill. Not bad.

Really bothersome that Tate keeps mistreating the high screen and gets burned for layups or gets switched into a mismatch. I KNOW that is not the way it is taught in walk through and practice.

Interesting that there seems to be more of an effort to run an offense rather than jacking up the first 3 opportunity. Only 4 three pointers attempted.

Couple of nice defensive stands, and a couple of lousy ones. Hill's playing well early, which is good.

Hope we can pull this one out. Would just be nice for the guys to get some reward for their hard play.

IMO we've been to easy to be switched off up there all season. I'd rather they fight through them unless/until the opponents guards show they can hit the shot from out there.

Agreed. Even without the hedges that Nanna and Mav got whistled on so many times the guard still needs to get over those. I would not think there is a different philosophy as the Pack Line is still being employed as the basis.

Also think it's good to change up how it's played randomly, to keep them guessing and out of rhythm in playing it. Default s/b to fight through though until they hit over them. What do I know.
