We might win
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, did you see the last 2 games lol
Let’s go Hoos!!
I’ll be there if anyone wants to say hi.
I would like to see Rohde start over TJ at the 3. Can we all agree that TJ Power no longer deserves to start, and frankly is not a guard.
Wrong. Rohde off the bench is great for Rohde. However start anyone above the Duke
Guy right now, Sharma even
TJ lemon
Fresh you’re not srsly suggesting starting Sharma
It should be Dai Dai/IMac/Cofie/Saunders/Buchanan. Might help the rebounding issues a bit to have that much size on the floor to start.
Sharma even. Against everything I previously thought
The Duke guy so far has brought zero
I’d love to see Cofie starting but this assumes he or Saunders can D up the opponent’s 3. Depending on matchups I like either this lineup or Rohde at the 3 if we need more ball security and more guards on the floor.
Cofie can’t defend anyone right now. I’ve never seen someone so out of position all the time but it’s not all that surprising for a freshman big man in this scheme
Start Ames, iMac Taine Saunders, Robinson
Robinson does not deserve to be anywhere near starting over BB / he’s lucky he got the minutes he did in Nassau. People seriously under appreciate how much Buchanan does for our team.
Dai Dai, McKneely, Rohde, Saunders, Buchanan.
People need to earn starting spots by playing well in games.
I wouldn’t start A-Rob. But I would aim to give him 10+ against the cupcakes
I think this discussion suggests we need an 8th rotation player. Possibly a 7th.
Honestly I’d let Taine start. Esp against a Manhattan team. Try to get his confidence back up.
Out of anyone, he has the best chance to “clicking” as our 8th guy - and his skill set would address most of the needs at the 3. And I think jumbo with Cofie has some real tradeoffs.
Have Rohde and Cofie first and second off bench. Power third.
The alternative is to tell Power to do more on offense within the 3 point line and see if he can show something - passing, creating, etc. I think he has a limited bag, but it could offset his other deficiencies.
…take it easy.
Robinson was drawing fouls. That was huge. Even if he can’t hit free throws, consider his trips to the line the same as our contested clanked threes except it puts the front court in foul trouble.
How the team improves over the season
- Need one of Taine or Sharma to get comfortable
- Need to limit TJ Power to a reserve role. His minutes have been detrimental and I just don’t think it’s going to click on either end this season
- Maybe look to play Saunders more at the 3. Play into his catch and shoot 3s and also helps with rebound size and leading into point 4, and he can post up his guard defender
- get more minutes for Cofie and Robinson. Saunders at the 3 helps with this.
- Pray to the healing gods that Bliss becomes a factor this season. Through the Power of the Glorious Mike Scott, all is possible. This is the thing that actual flips the season
Dai Dai McKneely Saunders Cofie Buchanan or Dai Dai McKneely Sharma Saunder Buchanan with Rohde 6th man. Need to end the TJ Power experiment and take the financial loss in NIL.
