I thought the defense on the first few possessions in OT was critical and were came up big in all of them, allowed our offense to get going. Also noticed that Harper was moved to guard the point in OT, and the penetration by the PG was a little more chaotic with some poor decisions. Man I just don't like Brown's game. I check myself to see am I being biased as I've never been high on him.....but this game especially he was making me so angry. I hope he plays better tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU82 127 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I would like to see Brown drive inside more. Especially when he’s missed a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purifoy, Doughty, Dunbar have to do their part as slashers. Horace and Mac in the corner even when open sometimes have to go baseline to the basket and create that contact and finish or dump pass to the other big. I'm assuming that's what you are talking about addressing. More drive and score or more drive and kick back out extra pass open 3. McCormick gotta grow up in a hurry.

Others have to take his place. Samir, Dunbar, Okeke, and when Purifoy gets back. They have be able to create because Harper can't be expected to break down the defense every possession in must score situations. Not sure Dunbar has the ball skills for it but work on it when we are up by 20 against lesser teams. Purifoy when he comes back just can't be another Bryce Brown he has to bring something different.

mcgufcm 4,101 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Not sure why we buried Dunbar in the second half. Doughty wasn't playing well. I'm not with the crew hating on Bryce Brown's game. He kept us afloat for stretches of this game. He's the best on-ball defender on the team, is driving the ball more this year, and is still making 3s. He warps defenses because they're scared to leave him open. He finished with a true shooting % of 63% or an effective FG % of 58.3%, and he led the team in scoring. In other words, he played a great game. The major takeaway is, defend without silly fouls or you'll keep overmatched teams in the game. We also need more activity/scoring from Okeke and Doughty. Wiley needs more reps to get his rotations down, but that will come with time. He's a natural scorer on the block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doverstutts 1,643 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 we had better play a lot of zone tomorrow....we do not match up at all with duke at all....they will let you drive the paint and foul a lot, but man oh man, are the loaded with good basketball players!.....we will have to play our best to have a chance and i mean play high IQ basketball along with shooting well and stopping the silly fouls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lost 452 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I know we all would have loved to seen a mistake free game, but i am pleased with what i saw today. 1st game of the season in a pressure situation ( March tournament type) and they finished with emphasis. They had things to overcome and i believed they grew up some. They had a bad game and still beat a good Xavier team. So i think they gained confidence and still made mistakes, they can learn from. Grew up some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is also still their best on ball defense on the perimeter and the guy's point was that he's driven more this year than in the past, which is true. He shouldve drove more this game but when he did it worked ~5 times out of 6. Bryce didnt have his smartest game but the role he plays, a KCP type, is invaluable to a 3 and D squad. If Im a coach, only things I see that I completely try to hinder before Duke is contested dribble dribble 3s early in the clock and maybe be the guy who calls those offball picks out himself. I know the center traditionally does that but BB seems to be the team captain of the defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
