I don't know why they are talking about Tennessee and Carolina now. We're cooked today and I don't see how this team does anything without DK going apeshit in the NCAAs.
Yeah we’re a 2 at this point. If we show up, we can get things done in the tournament, but we have to at least attempt to play defense, which we haven’t appeared to do the last few possessions.
Ms st is better than us. Every player goes 1 v 1 and we can’t stop any of them and we can’t take any of them 1 v 1. They look so much faster we look like a .500 team.
Bellyaching aside, I see some very, very real concerns with this team which have cropped up a number of times this year. Three mains ones stand out, among a few more. 1. Getting abused off the dribble. Happening like a complete sieve today, but it's been an issue for a long time with quick guards abusing us on straight drives. 2. The inside is very problematic, especially against any decent big man. Soft defensively and unable to score on offense. 3. The offense outside of Knecht is very pedestrian and spotty. I just don't see how these three problems can be overcome on a more than one game basis against upper level teams. If we actually get past the Sweet 16, I will be pleasantly surprised.
It doesn’t matter who you play. If you shoot 26% from the field and 13% from 3 you ain’t beating anyone.
