Not a great stat to see...even more alarming that it might be a trend.

No no no… Oldbear1941 said to think otherwise is criminal for such a saint like Scott Drew

If you really want to make yourself feel depressed, go look at how our individual players fair comparatively in defensive efficiency and defensive rating across multiple evaluative platforms to other Big 12 and P5 players. Four of the guys have low enough ratings one wonders if it would be just as effective to stick a cardboard mannequin out there to guard an opponent.

After the Baylor football season we thought we could not witness a worse defense...Baylor men's BB said hold my Dr. Pepper.

IMO this is the largest sign that Drew is lost.

Defense should be what help keeps you even in tough times and should be one of the first things you can instill in your transfers. I don't mean you should always be able to have a top 10 defense, but it should be tough and not suck out loud. Truly bad defense is a sign of a lack of commitment and effort.

He has a losing record to his assistants. Granted, it is a small sample size, but it gives me pause.

In all fairness, though, we've probably faced more elite competition up to this point than any other team. Maybe our resident statisticians can look into that. And when you lose a star PG you were counting on to NIL, and you have a completely new team with players that never played with each other before this season, and on top of that you add a brand new big man into the rotation right before facing a run of elite competition, all under a brand new defensive coach... then honestly, the result isn't really all that surprising.

I'm giving Drew a pass this season, and allowing him time to adjust to the new landscape. For heaven's sake, he's earned the benefit of the doubt. Heck, he still can make something of this season. His strength was always being a "program building" coach, not a "yearly NIL piece-together team" coach that you have to be now. NIL ruined college sports. Thanks, all you idiots who supported paying the players.

Not just "lose games". We are getting run out of the Arena. Frankly, this talk is meaningless to me. The coaches set this roster (last year too). We were still going to have a PG issue, and we have no idea how many of our current team will even be back next year. It could be another rebuild.

Stop with the excuses - current roster can't play a flip of defense.

Try this - abandon defense altogether. Run a straight full court press with a slight twist to mimic LM / Hank Gathers teams and just fire up 3's and let them take their dunks and layups.

It would be entertaining- which is basically what you are now. Albeit - a pretty expensive one at $5m a season.
