[QUOTE="skyIdub, post: 1503829, member: 230966"] They just haven't figured out how to be a team. Too much hero ball. Ayo has to pass at the end. There were one or two other breaks where he took a contested shot at the rim instead of passing to a wide open teammate under the basket. Dre' has been guilty of the same. We need guys driving the basket, but looking at options not just trying to score. When they moved the ball in the previous two games (albeit lesser foes) they looked like they were getting it. Maybe some overconfidence along with national TV and new throwback unis was enough to keep their head in the clouds for the first 20 minutes? Who knows...but it's totally on BU to snap them to attention and he owned it post-game. Ayo still not mature enough to lead a team, and the Alpha Male paradox exists between he and Frazier I think. Frazier is mature enough, and committed enough to the team concept...but maybe there's some undercurrent that prevents it. IMO Trent needs to start exerting himself as the floor leader. Maybe Ayo will be better without the pressure? Spit-balling. [/QUOTE]
