This is the kind of effort I didn’t expect from such an older team. Frustrating. We need to go in to Kofi every possession. They have no answer for him.

 

[dbeverly26]

Man, Coleman's just out to sea right now. Difficult to watch.

 

[ILLFAN67]

We match up fine. Need to be more aggressive and make some shots

 

[DICKnaggie]

We are missing an awful lot of open looks and they're making some real circus shots. Ugh.

Are shooting continues to kill us. One man game for us at this point.

Shooting 3 of 16 excluding Kofi. Where has our guard offense gone. Also out-rebounded 15 to 9.

 

[727ill]

We are fortunate to only be down nine

 

[Sawicky]

The offense has been awful the last few weeks and doesn't look like it is improving

 

[WyattEarp]

Grandi passed up 2, 6 footers as well. Out shooters are in their own heads right now.

I think you’re right we’re overthinking and making things harder then it needs to be offensively...more confidence in their stroke and better recognition in taking what they give ya. or get off the Pot. Lol. Stay Classy San Diego.

He did play Harper decently - the only one who has…

 

[Illini_Jack]

0-9 from three. Not good.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Every single guy on our team trying to shoot a 3 right now...

Does Frazier have a shoulder injury? Just shooting horrible and lacking aggressiveness the last 4 or 5 games.

 

[InDaAZ]

Belo

 

[FloridaMan]

That's the formula right there. AC and Kofi 2 man only chance we got.

 

[BlindLoyalty]

Hawkins & Williams impotence on offense is exposed by good coaches and absolutely fatal for this season if Frazier and Plummer’s offensive spiral continues down the stretch.

 

[mdsimon2]

Keep it within 10 at half and we win.

 

[Manual3for4peat]

Their backup center hits 17 footers and we are in trouble.

 

[azillini1]

Where is RJ ?

 

[DB11Headband]

Zone. Don’t have the length to defend them on the petimeter

 

[Rocky]

Feed the F'ing monster, and drive the lane. It's really a damn simple game.

Just tough to watch him pass up open looks for bad ones, though. Looks like a guy who lacks confidence.

 

[InDaAZ]

Harper playing bully-ball on our freshmen…

 

[Ramrod2010]

Where is RJ ?

Looking for his jock after the two defensive series he saw.

Great night to not be able to hit the broad side of a barn
