I know you can’t just throw random defensive adjustments out there, but I think long term we need to start considering moving away from drop coverage against every single player.

Short term, I think a little inbounding pressure might help, similar to early in BUs tenure. I get this is a desperation move, but we have to try something especially if teams are gonna just drop 90+ on us.

I would think a loss by 30 would hurt us in possibly our tourney seeding and the eyes of the selection committee ....or a loss by only 2 or 3 could actually help in that same area

A loss by 40 won’t hurt us. Everything will be pro-Duke after this game, how they’re great.

Haha, honestly there was a time this year where a disappointing loss would ruin my night ... or at least have me somewhat depressed for a couple of hours. I have finally just accepted reality this year. Having a bright future for football helps A LOT!

hes a glue guy so definitely someone they'll miss, we simply need to go 50% from three and make near 20 of them to make this game fun

Haha, for context, we have shot above 50% from three twice this year - at Oregon and at Minnesota. On the flipside, we have made fewer than 30% of our threes 13 separate times, with 10 of those being below 25%. :sick:

And we have never made 20 threes in a game this year, but our highest was 16 (both at Oregon and vs. EIU). Unfortunately, since the Oregon game we have not made more than 11 in a game, and we have made fewer than 10 in 9 of those 14 games.

Our 3-point shooting needs to be a "cherry on top" that makes a 10-point victory a 20-point victory ... not in any way an essential component of our winning strategy. :ROFLMAO:

LOL, not the 7 turnovers per game or whatever his abysmal A/TO ratio is recently?

if we go lights out it makes our chances much higher is what I was trying to say but everything else will be very important too
