Maybe Fran can go to Pitt? He can do another rebuild job.
I was thinking it would be be a good job for Lickliter. He is used to working with unathletic transfer-depleted rosters.Maybe Fran can go to Pitt? He can do another rebuild job.
Penn St beat Pitt 85-54 on Pitt's home floor. We lost to Penn St 77-73 on our home floor about 2 weeks later. Pretty much the same time of year with Penn St playing on the road both times but with drastically different results.
Our worst loss all year was by 24 points. Pitt had 6 games that were worse and one that was 24. Going off the stats and sizes and positions, their starting point guard averaged 10.0 ppg, shot 39% from the field and 33% from 3-point range. He had a 1.46 assist to turnover ratio as well as having the second-most fouls on the team. (Do we really want this point guard? I'm thinking not.)
None of those kids could stop one player from either Buffalo or Kentucky. In fact as a team, they’d be left watching drives to the basket or treys hitting nothing but net.I've been trying to figure out why we are so bad at defense. It really makes no sense.
Moss - Very athletic
Dailey - Very athletic
Cook - Very athletic
Wagner - Uber athletic
Garza - Surprisingly good at defending.
Baer - Known for defense / hustle
I know Nunge wasn't really ready to play great defense at this level...but his size and with a strength and conditioning coach...he's going to be a handful at 6'11". You could throw Kreiner into this mix also. Same with Pemsl.
So...that leaves Bohannon. Are we to believe he is responsible for giving up all the points? The worst defensive team in the conference...by like 8 points.
We have a coaching issue on defense...plain and simple. I love the way Fran's teams play offensively. Defense not so much. Bring in a defensive bench coach...what we have is not working.
Little Lick have any eligibility left?I was thinking it would be be a good job for Lickliter. He is used to working with unathletic transfer-depleted rosters.
Maybe Evan turner could shave him (palm the ball in front of his face) again.Little Lick have any eligibility left?
