clodney Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Skogman is still the best player on this team and for some reason he has been on the bench. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two games in a row where the starters have been flat. And now Brewton launching bricks Per usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if this has anything to do with his medical condition. Not a full on minutes restriction but something the staff monitors game to game. Especially if it’s a physical game or a running game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 This has been hard to watch. I'd argue the offense has been as bad as the defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor shots on offense leading to easy transition for Toledo. Too many turnovers. And of course none existent defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were just hoping it would all click. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuchMany Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Frustrating. They're hitting challenged shots and plenty of wide open shots. Toledo is a strong team no doubt. We don't have the guards. Rondo doesn't get enough help from Brewton and Jones. Mid-major ball is dominated by guards and Toledo just has more horses than us. Hoping for a decent run here to put some game pressure on them and claw back in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clodney Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 What is there left to say? The same people are underperforming. Our shooting guards, who we know are terrible on-ball defenders but supposedly make it up in shooting% are once again 0-6. The defense against penetrating guards is an utter joke. Rollins is blowing by his man every time. It's one thing to just hit a hot shooting team, it's another thing to give up easy ass shots that a CYO team could hit. It feels like every time this team gets pumped up for a game they are 100% focused on outscoring the other team. They push too hard, end up turning the ball over, and then they overcommit and don't get back on defense. The key to the Nate Oats teams was that they focused that intensity into defense instead of offense. I am not saying we need to fire Whitesell but for the love of God it feels like the strategy with these kids is just completely wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird96 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Is it just me, or does UB lead the league in taking the ball away only to turn it right back over again? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean what does strategy have to do with Mballa being totally incapable of scoring in the paint? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooleyBull06 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 This game is over. Not being a negative poster. It just is. Toledo is just having one of those nights where they can’t miss. It is what it is. This was a complete clunker. Let it happen now. Hopefully the team takes it to heart and mind that they got their asses beat. I don’t wanna see this type of effort next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
