Be nice if the refs called moving screens on PSUs bigs that are happening EVERY PLAY.
Trent if going to get killed by their big sliding into his blindside
Didn’t again that last possession. Seemed mizzou did it all game too.

Beat me to it
Reasonable critique. I think he is looking for the excellent pass too often.
I very much agree with the big guys needing to look to kick it out sometimes. That appears to be of no interest to them.
That's 1/8 ton of doofus to you.

Maybe it's just me, but if that is the way the game is being called, make an adjustment in our defensive approach. Slide behind the screen a few times. I don't know, but make some kind of adjustment.
I believe the next 20 minutes are the most important of the season so far.

All things considered, we have to be pretty content.
Now we take charge and win by 12-14!

Hard argument to make when our bigs are shooting 10-11 with two turnovers
I'm not thinking of just this game. Historically.
In other news. No Hawkins in the first half. That's a little strange.

I don't think we're a young team. Leaders like Trent, Ayo, Kofi, Georgi and DMW = 16 years of experience. Just wait until we potentially lose 4 of those 5 next season!
In fact, the reason we got ranked so highly at the outset is because of our returning experience.
Hey, he’s shooting better than .500 from 3. Has played some decent D too. Not flashy but stopping the ball and staying in front of his man.

I agree Grandison needs to get some minutes. We're going to need him this season.....and I like his game.
This second half is going to tell us a lot about what type of team we have. Do we keep fighting and exert our will with superior talent and a deeper bench, or do we have lapses of inattention on defense and commit stupid turnovers and fouls? I think Brad will have them ready to take care of business.

Ok.....let's straighten something out here before this get's out of hand.
Curbelo's court vision is next level. As a freshman. His issue is going too fast on offense and too handsy on defense.
I'm not sure what is meant by "ball dominant"? He's your PG....your QB....the ball is always in his hands.
He's gonna be more than just fine.

Agreed that Kofi has missed a lot of kickouts.
As for Hawkins, it is strange, but for once Grandison has not looked completely lost out there, so we have that.
we cant stop the pick n roll, fast break defense is pretty weak at times
