I agree we just aren't very talented. Hubbard has been Jans' best recruit and we got lucky getting him. Jans is going to have to surround Hubbard with someb real weapons but Im not confident in his recruiting.This great defense we are supposed to have is non existent also.. we can't score, other than Hubbard, and can't stop anyone thats a recipe for alot of lossesQuote:

Were down 69-63 with 3:53 left and the ball. We used the entire shot clock and Moore got his layup blocked and State gets the rebound. Uses up another 17 seconds and turns it over. So used nearly 45 seconds and got nothing out of the possession only down 6. It was over after that. At the 36 second mark, State was 1 for their last 8 shots.Quote:

One thing to consider with Davis is assists. He obviously isn't scoring at all for whatever reason, but we had 9 assists tonight and 4 were by Davis. He's the only player that seems to get them
We made a run with Davis, Moore, Hubb, Cam and Tolu on the floor together. I'm fine with that group.Quote:

A good team would KILL to have someone like Matthews on their roster, but we rely on him for more than what he is. Just a terrible off season in terms of evaluating talent and adding the right pieces to get better.
oh well at least baseball is almost here to **** me up some more.
I've wanted to split DJ and cam up for a while, so I agreeQuote:

Hopefully we can get ourselves playing well again soon
Not wanting to overreact but nothing I am seeing right now makes me think we make the tourneyQuote:

Idk, but I do wonder if part of our defense collapse has been tolu. We were defending at a high level pre-tolu, and not so much with him. How much of that is competition level though?Quote:

Our problem is we have no perimeter scoring other than Hubbard, that in itself will things up for Tolu in the paint when he gets double and triple teamed so when he kicks it out our perimeter guys have to make them pay......but they don't, too many missed wide open shots. We lack scoring in a major way and our defense isn't what people hype it up to be.Quote:
