Italy Trip

I have Gardner with 3 fouls, Papi with 2, and a few guys with 1. That and DR I am least confident about. Hard to remember to track everything. Everything else should be right. Was trying to do minutes and +/- but lost track of subs

The biggest question I have is why are we recruiting Oceania when Serbia is where it’s at?

General question, how do Reece and Kihei look across the games? Their numbers have been pretty low overall if I remember. Maybe throw Armaan in there, too. Are they being intentionally passive to get newer guys involved?

Need more from BVP and Armaan. Really thought Armaan would show out this trip

4-10 from 3, including BVP, Jayden, and Shed all taking one. Armaan with zero 3 attempts.

2-foul rule violated. Drink! Un vino por favor (that’s Spanish, but you get the picture)

Seems like the bigs have been having the favorable matchups over the whole trip. How does KK Mega look like from a size and athleticism perspective, especially in the frontline, relative to a power conference team?

This is going to be my gif when we play Armaan at the 3. Fair warning.

This is what happens when you try to make Armaan a 3 against decent size and athleticism!

The “real” vet lineup.

Sounds like BVP didn’t have a great first half.

Nice Beeks to Shedrick dime for a dunk like in q1

Armaan called for flagrant on contesting a breakaway dunk. Fair but borderline call

Lineup looked big at the guards/wings, probably a bit small (compared to a typical good power 5 team) at the 4/5

For the first half I’ve got us at:

15-36 from the floor
4-10 from 3
5-6 on FT’s
7 assists and 7 turnovers
13 rebounds
4 steals
2 blocks

So this is what they did after all, just flipped so those three sit last game. Def trying to put our most experienced and ready team out there I’d say.

Is Mega getting out on transition consistently and our guys aren’t getting back?

so you’re saying tony’s going all in to win game #2 against KK Mega?

Never speak of this again

Either the Serbs are shooting lights out or our defense has a lot of work to do. Or both. Or neither.

From earlier posts it sounds like they’re getting good looks and also killing us on the offensive boards.

Despite Kihei and Beeks starting both halves together, most of the game only one has played. Don’t know if the coaches love Taine or McKneely, plan to play them less together this year, it’s just a wrinkle to try in Italy, or something totally different.

But if this were an acc game last year, they’d both have many more minutes.
