Ball screen defense has been a little bit better this half. Communication and rotations are still bad
It does look like thereās some intentional decision to crash the driving layup with a double and leave the corner three open.
That or really bad instinctual basketball, but have seen it now three times.
Did the announcer just yell WAFFLES after that de Ridder 2? Lol

Would really like to institute a rule where the 4s give the ball up in transition

That last possession was much more Tillisās bag. Instead of bringing the ball up to halfcourt, look for the outlet pass in transition. Good find to Thomas.

And then Tillis forces another post up against someone six inches taller than him lol.
Good and bad tonight from Devin.
Was just able to stream the game ā¦ just an odd feeling watching this team after all those Bennett years. Odd but good. I like what I see. I think thereās gonna be some great wins and some frustrating loses. But I think itās gonna be fun regardless.

Tillis is not good unfortunately.
Do we practice boxing out?
Was about to say. Ugo is very tall and can shot block but he is really bad at controlling the defensive boards.
Gertrude with a little TOO much freedom there LOL

I watched Joe Bamisile on last yearās VCU team. These are nothing to the levels of stupid play that can exist in college basketball.

Having watched way too many exhibitions this preseason, I can tell you itās more rare to find one that isnāt a turnover fest.

Basketball (and life) is about tradeoffs. Playing fast and free usually also comes with some dumbass turnovers, just what it is.

I donāt think Odom has thought it all the way through strategically. If we keep taking shots so early in the shot clock we wonāt be well rested on defense. Which means eventually weāre going to have to use substitutes. Which means more guys have to play. Which means we arenāt going to be able to redshirt anybody. This is not going to work.
