If you benched everyone who refuses to box out, we would have no one to play.

Well, the scheme also has our guys with one eye to the paint and sagging of their man. It does give opposing perimeter players angles to the boards and no body right in front of them.

Maryland and Rutgers both suck. These last 2 road games have been really disappointing.

Easy game to grade.  F

Throw elbows? That’s ok just flop and fall.

Never seen someone with such a complete refusal to block out as Williams has. But it’s on the coaches. You can’t just let it continue to happen. 

His lack of focus and engagement at times is a killer.

That was embarrassing. I hope the players have enough pride that they are embarrassed. We got punked and seemed ok with it. Too soft mentally. Need an alpha dog, and no, not just Gary.

I’ve seen some pretty good full court presses before. This Maryland press is absolutely not one of them. There is no reason for it to completely derail our offense. Not only should we be able to get the ball up the court against this press, but a good college basketball team should make Maryland pay for using it. 

Was easily the most frustrating part of the game. We played right into their hands. Broke it, then stopped everything to try to run our offense. We should have been in break and attack mode the entire time. They would have been out of it after 3 possessions if we did.

I disagree on Maryland. I think they might make a run here to end the season. Rutgers sucks though. I think the Gary injury had a big factor in that one

[tcp]

they didn't even get off the plane. at this point, if it's on the east coast,  I'm writing it off. 

 

this thing's in their heads.

Maryland doesn’t remotely suck.   Really athletic with a great point guard.   They’ll win a lot of games from here on out.   Check back in a month and we’ll see where they’re at.

Um, Spiro Agnew?

Spiro Agnew came up with the term "nattering nabobs of negativism." He reportedly was reading one of our game threads during a loss.

Yeah, that's cool. At least one thing was cool today. The result was not. Ughh.

Juwan Gary had 11 of 'em! He's a difference maker. Get him back & let's see how it goes next time.

Good news.  No more east coast games on the schedule.  And, the last I looked, Memphis is inland. It's all good.
