[QUOTE="DRS, post: 1568345, member: 6410"] OOOF, carbon copy of the Mizzou game. Did not expect the defense to get taking advantage of so frequently. Several times this game, and the Mizzou game, we are losing the hustle plays on the defensive side. We are allowing players to penetrate and get their shoulders turned on us. Bigs come to help and then offensive rebounds start to pile up. We certainly can fill it up but until this team puts together 40minutes of tough defense I see the confidence against tough opponents to be shook. Frazier and Ayo need to clean up the offense. They are the engine and it needs to run smoother. Ayo got his and still had an imprint but a few plays of sloppy handles, a key missed layup. Trent early on had a couple of careless turnovers(and a couple dimes). His shot looks much better then last year but he needs to drop the turnovers. Knew this game was gonna be tough. but did not expect to get out worked for about 20minutes of the game. Very end of the second half all the way to about 2:30 left. Seriously out of sorts. Rutgers is a top 20 team and this was only a 3 point loss but not loving the way that one looked. or the Mizzou game for that matter. Other team seems over the whole of the game to want it more.
