We are not attacking, penetrating, attempting to penetrate this zone at all... like this is fundamentals 101.. passing the ball around the arc is not doing much.. and getting the ball go kofi in the corner baseline 15 feet out isn’t doing anything either... you know nw runs zone - did we not use a weeks worth of practice to prepare ? Lol I mean i like our defense.. but we are playing soft and getting out worked.

When Damonte is the only guy playing D you have to leave him in. This line is so tired. It's like some of you aren't watching the game, you're just watching how long Damonte is in.

I've actually watched DM on just one defensive play this game -- when he got beaten on the backdoor, and his guy missed the layup.

And for those Damonte haters - yes he can’t shoot but he does so many other things so well. Passing, defending, rebounding... it’s not all about scoring. You Recruit guys like ayo, Trent, kofi for that...

He is fine but not going to have a good game. My biggest issue today is that ayo isnt getting a bunch of mid range shots. Ayo is a really go mid range shooter.

So much for my 67-54 prognostication........NW with 58 points already. (They're playing just like their IND and MSU games).

Man they just don't miss when they need an answer. Our D is just not in their shorts. We need a 5 minute angry defense to get these guys uncomfortable.
