Honest question: should we count brewton as bench?
I know he started today but why is it that he can contribute as a starter but when he is coming off the bench ub gets little from him
What I'm getting at is that I don't think bench talent is an issue. I think its player usage and rotation issues
(Also realize brewton isn't the best example here)
I like calling it pace and rhythm
I feel like the team has forgotten a key element that oats always preached about having the ball touch the paint on every possession
Hot take: the team plays better basketball when one of mballa or williams are out
Not saying they are a problem (they aren't) just that ball movement and communication seem better
I'm gonna say something and its not sarcastic or a joke
The last 2 games this team has missed and needed brock
The guy isn't the best player and shouldn't be playing a ton of minutes but he settles the team down and provides energy when other guys are lacking it. He seems to have this contagious energy that no one else on this team has
True. Can live with good shots that miss
They still play "fast" but its completely without any natural pace and rhythm
The team plays like they just take turns being the number one option rather than an actual team that should just find the open guy
I'm gonna sound like my usual nut job self but I really like the freshman class that was brought in this year of jones/blocker/mading/Williamson
Add in skogman, hardnett, perry and brock. I think that a more team oriented blue collar team
I still put the lose to canisius more on the players than the coaches. Comes a point where maybe these players aren't very good
You have one of the oldest teams in the country you should be able to put a group of posters on this board behind the bench and beat canisius by 20+
Only positive from this is that now this team saw the type of game every single mac team will play
Every team will make ub work. Make the game ugly
Better get use to it
