[QUOTE="OldYeller, post: 1557724, member: 746659"] Agreed with a lot of things said here, just want to add: Our pick and roll defense was sooooo bad. Good lord, Kofi was putrid at protecting the paint today. Our rotations were constantly late. Practices are gonna be ugly up until Baylor. Ayo got pretty exposed most of the game on Preston. Not sure why Trent, who is apparently our best defender according to the head coach, was out guarding a nobody on the wings all game. We definitely need to be a little concerned against bigger opponents. DaMonte got abused on the low block, that was not pretty. Especially with the "help" Kofi was offering.... DaMonte on offense and the boards....I take back all the bad things I've said about him over the years. Huge player for us this year. Grandison a non-factor, we'll need more from him. Feel like he would have matched up better with man-bun guy. Glad Curbelo was up and ready after that ugly ankle turn but he's too much of a liability right now. Needs more time to tighten it up but I guess that's to be expected. Miller was still dope. Awesome to see him pump fake and go. His athleticism at the rim will be big in grabbing fouls and he's a terrific FT shooter besides those two misses today. Which we need to work on those FT's too... Glad we won but if we had lost, was fine with it considering what happened to Virginia haha [/QUOTE]
