You're right, and right now, he looks like our best defender. That's how bad it is right now.

Big time. I'd only have him and LB out there this game as true bigs.
Mav's been rock solid consistency for us. He's not a good defender, but at least we know what we're getting from him on that end. Hard to question his effort on either end.
Tracy Abrams is playing some absolutely terrible basketball right now. On both ends of the floor. It's hard to get much worse.
He could be Mike Thorne
We're having a slightly better night than the zebras so far :tsk:
Bad calls both ways. Inconsistent.

Another blah performance so far. When was the last time we had a team that over achieved?

Seriously what's the point right now. Haas has been pushing off and holding every possession and still hasn't gotten one call

We run so many ball screens that seem completely pointless, no motion off of them, no drives, nothing. It forces someone to try to do it all on their own. It drives me absolutely crazy.

I think it's the Senior Rec League spread.
Call me crazy, but really don't think the refs have been all that bad. Maybe let Purdue off with 1 or 2, but the foul difference is justified. Yet another consequence of our stale offense and bad defense
So, why is he still in there then? Tate is better than him, right now, because TA isn't hitting anything anyway.

It really confounds me how many people say that Nunn would be the answer to our problems. I think people forget how much he trailed off the second half of last season - he effectively disappeared (and iirc wasn't even starting for a good chunk of it). I'm not sure what people expect would be different this season if he had stayed.

Welp ladies and germs, I'm out. Seen this script before.
Like @ Indiana, ILL will make a run at some point. Gotta stay in-touch until it happens.

To this point, that is it. Mav is our only post threat with moves. When Bo is out there, he stands no chance against this front line as a post threat, you are 4 on 5 and with Tracy being so cold we are 3 on 5. I'll beat the drum more, but the smaller we, the more can spread them out and create driving lanes and that would help a guy like Tracy.
When we aren't moving off the ball it's basically just a post entry drill with no options beyond that.

I just tuned in, Tracy does not have a clue how to run a team. It sounds mean, but he needs to sit.
