23-24 Season

Akron had 20 additional shots (but 14 less FTs, so maybe more in the 12-13 range). We aren't doing a good job there.

 

He has grown so much as he's stayed in the program but his mentality is really still not there if he doesn't have a clear edge in the matchup.

 

+9 turnovers, +4 offensive rebounds, so +13 total. The turnovers is a place we should be able to create an edge and haven't since the very early stages.

 

Some of this game is us not getting him the same easy looks that they're getting their big guy. We are bringing Aidoo up super high to help off their screens, and he's getting lost on the recovery. They're doing the exact opposite, sitting back and letting us shoot long two's. I'm a broken record, but we have to force the issue more.

 

Mashack has to be smart here. They might still [uck fay] him over, but don’t make it easy for them.

 

They're just building a wall six feet from the basket and daring us to shoot over it. Hard to force the issue into that. We should be able to shoot over it--midrange stuff usually isn't a great shot at the college level, but when they're giving it to you from inside 12 feet. . .

 

Oh look, another missed long two. But an offensive rebound is good to see.

 

These long twos are stupid.

 

Oh look, another missed long two.

 

They hit a tough 15-footer, we miss an unguarded 15-footer.

 

Hey guys, maybe this isn't obvious, but there's a reason you're wide open there.

 

Aidoo has been a disaster tonight.

 

Mashack got fouled on the other end on the rebound

 

Their defense is making our offense do exactly what they want.

 

Aidoo disappearing act.

 

Oh look, DK got to the rim and forced a foul. How have we not been doing that from the very beginning of this game?

 

If JJJ finishes this game with less than 8 shots, we deserve to lose. Keep feeding the kid.

 

WHAT THE [uck fay]? Dude just pulled ZZ out of bounds and no call?

 

JJJ

 

Biggest lead of the game for either team is six.
