Please stop passing to Thamba.

Thamba has the hands of a 5' 10" guard.

I know Drew prefers a bunch of 6'6-6'8 guys that can run the court but we need a reliable 7' post. Surely there's one out there CSD has eyes on.

I'd prefer a guy like JTT that can switch screens and run the court

If you had told me in December that Bonner and Turner were on the court, I'd assume we were up by 35 against whoever we were playing.

When you're trying to run the o through Flo you're in trouble. This is a game he should play 10 minutes max. He cannot match their bigs. Unfortunately we have nobody else. Really ugly stretch of ball

Finally a time out.

Ugh. That Adidas ad after dinner is the best advertising Tums could get.

Sochan must touch the ball every possession.

Mayer cannot touch the ball….ever. He refuses to pass and takes quick, off balance shots almost every time…and then gives a dumb foul.

Sooner or later Cryer is going to have to either play with pain or hang it up for the year.

Akinjo 0-4 from the field, 0-2 from 3, 0 points, 2 assists, 3 TOs. This is not good.

Matt's a lotto pick… feed him every possession

Has Thamba ever done a ball fake??

Has he not been taught to do a ball fake?
BobWillis

A point guard's job is:
1. Protect the ball
2. Make wise passes
3. Protect the ball
4. Lead the team's offense

When it matters Akinjo is below average, and worse erratic, at all of these. Most guards in the B12 have outplayed him.

Bad idea: run the O thru Flo.

Good idea: run the O through Sochan

IowaBear

That shouldn't surprise anyone. High volume shooter. He'll get double figures scoring on 15 shots
ImABearToo

He's been taught to bounce it in the paint and turn it over.

Jeremy is the best player on the court. Feed'm

Basically, it's Flagler and Sochan vs. 5.

Might wanna show them zone. And I hate zones

Flagler doesn't jump to the ball and gets screened in
