Yeah that Power Buchanan Robinson line up was weird.
Dai Daiās inability to defend got punished today and our inability to force it and get downhill until too late. That and rebounding.
@NorVaHoo thatās a point @DFresh11 noticed last year. Our screening is bad. but McKneely rarely runs off a screen looking to score vs passing it back top of key. Same with Taine
Tony playing 3D chess. Miss this awfulness, lose the players to the portal. Then come back to UVA, start with low expectations.
Tony saw this coming- heck he saw what happened last season when he had 2 NBA caliber players. Especially after he had a chance to see TJP go 0 for season from 3
What exactly has Jwilly been doing to earn a paycheck over the last 7 years or so?
Even when we play with size, our bigs play soft and donāt execute fundamentals like blocking out.
The lack of development in Blake, especially in his hands, rebounding positioning, and lack of intensity is pretty damning of our coaching.
Dai Dai having to guard Hepburn for a stretch in the 2nd half was brutal. He got torched.
Honest question, who was the last player we had that set good screens and the last player we had who was good at using screens? Post Natty
Again to Havās point, weāre down 14 with two and a half minutes left. What is the harm in throwing out a full court press just to see if you can speed them up and force a few turnovers.
These refs suck but we lost the game ourselvesā¦
Why in the world do we not have a full court press defense? Has always baffled me.
Salt and Guy. No one post Natty.
Iām sorry, If you really think we lost this game because we were outcoached, I think weāve been watching different games. We had many many many bigger problems than coaching.
We need upgrades on the staff starting with Ron. Team needs re-boot as well.
When you are down 14-16 points with 3-4 mins left, arenāt you supposed to push the ball and press at some point. Do we have that gear?
To add to this, itās partly the rebounding story. Bigs rotated to help with Hepburn after beating Ames and werenāt there for the rebound
We are unprepared in games we are behind and need to score/create turnovers.
TJ Power missing another 3
And in blowouts too
What a second half meltdown. Sad.
yup.
Todayās game took managed to suck the joy out of the NC State game.
Wow, 34 years since Louisville has won at JPJ
Well the ankle getting rolled was a blessing in disguise. What a disaster 2nd half lol
