1) I thought this game was a trap game and it turned out to be. I didn't watch or listen to it but I do realize that all the anger is directed more to the way we lost than that we lost.
2) no go to guy...this isn't that big of a deal. The problem is that we try and make marble into one. Many college teams don't and the teams that win with that system do it by not isolating their closest thing to it too much. Marble does great things within the offense and struggles when trying to play more one on one nba style. College bball is more team oriented stick with that.
3) we can't shoot long range. We have to attack and try to get and 1s for our 3s. We have to be very judicious with our 3 pt attempts. Ogelsby needs to play good defense knock down a couple of mid range 2s then shoot some 3s. He seems to do better when that is how he starts the game.
4) 10 man rotation isn't being used properly. Any rotation is predicated on certain substitutions at distinct times and situations. We do this in the 1st half. But in the 2nd we typically kind of do this at the start but then fran typically tries to go with the guys that are working the best. If no one is playing well then it makes it difficult to finds the guys and he will probably keeps changing guys to find a group that will work. Not saying he does a good job with this...just what I see him doing.
5) we are young. I don't buy into it is the end of the yr so frosh are now sophs belief. They haven't been through the guantlett down the last stretch of the season and will probably make more frosh mistakes because the pressure is amped up. They aren't. Reverting they are just freshmen.
6) every lineup we throw out has holes. Those holes may go away next year or the year after but with where we were it is expected that we would have holes...remember we are only 3 yrs removed from lick. Starters have 1 guy in a position that isn't his best. Bench 5 don't have legit scorers. We could go on but it is just rehashing what we know.
7) we are where most people predicted we would be. Looking at a 9-9 record with an outside chance at the ncaa tourney. And yes I believe we still can make it. We just need to upset indiana (very unlikely) or get to the championship of the btt while holding serve on the rest of our games (also very unlikely).
