Alexis is a very young junior—younger, in fact, than Haugh and Condon. And he was playing against two super senior transfers (one who carved up...
I would also add that this is a national top-5 offense we were playing on the road in Pope’s first conference game. It’s not Colorado, or even...
So what do you do when switching on ball and off ball aren’t working? People complained and complained about our drop coverage for two years, then...
I think some of it was foul trouble, some of it may be that he is a little limited offensively, some of it is just stamina. A guy that size is...
The rotation is pretty much set. We just need better minutes out of Alexis. Needs to give us 12-15 minutes. Golden usually plays 8, but will go 9....
People complained about Donovan doing this for years. And White. Now Golden. And if we watched more basketball, we would see the vast majority of...
It’s basketball, and basketball is a funny game. I actually thought we got a pretty friendly whistle for Rupp. UK made some incredibly tough...
Williams outplayed him, but that's not a surprise--Williams is an exceptionally skilled, efficient player, who is also more experienced and...
Haugh played more minutes than Chinyelu. What does it matter who starts? And it’s not like our starting unit is struggling. It was ranked the...
That was a very positive, encouraging take. Thanks. It’s clear you weren’t on the game thread, haha. FWIW, reminded me of that first 2006 loss to...
I expected he would struggle to start. That doesn't mean he is "not an SEC caliber big." The kid was late bloomer who weighed like 180 as a HS...
Wait, I thought that's what we said last year when we just ran drop coverage? Now that we are switching (on ball and off) and hedging, we are an...
May have felt like it, but it wasn't. It was against vastly better offense in a vastly tougher venue. We contested the rim immensely better, and...
I'm not sure I would go "brilliant," but it is pretty difficult stuff to defend with all the off-ball screens and movement. We literally switched...
Fouls are gonna be the difference. 5 team fouls at the under 12--Chinyelu and Condon with 3 each. But a great game. Love the competitiveness of...
I would also add (as I think I wrote in another thread) that we definitely have the team to accomplish that on league play: deep post rotation,...
Not sure I would ever predict an unbeaten season at home, and I know I would never pin success on a second weekend in the tourney (thought that's...
Ken Pom has them at 63 in DRtg. They give up a lot of shots and don’t turn you over much, but they allow an absurdly low 27.5% from the arc.
He has played 9 a lot, too, but part of it is that he really likes Klavzar and wants to get him on the court. Sort of the Aberdeen role from last...
Latter. This game shouldn’t be close. He will want to give Klavzar and Brown more run, more touches for Chinyelu and Alexis.
