I agree they should be asked to do alot, but none of them are being asked to do what Evans is doing. Find me a current NBA prospect that is having to run a full court press the majority of the game, has to play the defense Cronin requires of him, and then is the focal point of running the offense. Almost all top players at big schools are able to take a break on one side of the floor at some point while they're in. Evans doesn't have that.

Tre looked pretty darn good. Moore was loose and when he is he can knock down some shots. But it has to translate to bigger games. It's a nice step in the right direction I guess.

I agree Moore and Scott played well last night but overall as a team I really don't think we played a good complete game. Our defense didn't look good and we did not rebound well. I think we played down to our competition. Team needs to get back to doing the little things well. lots of defensive breakdowns last night.

Interesting Cane mentioned "He didn't have any grudges or anything" he just goes out and tries to play his game and help the team. The fact he mentioned grudges at all is a little bit concerning...lol! I have not heard that word "grudges" from any other player in any other presser.

the question was about why he played well against uconn. i think the grudges part was related to them not recruiting him.

Yeah that's what I thought too.

Haha not sure if anyone watches Documentary Now but there is an episode where Fred Armisen is playing the lead singer of the Talking Heads and they ask if he resents his success. He starts to give an answer about how he doesn't know that he's successful and then goes "And I don't hold any resentment because...well, actually I do hold some resentment but that's another issue". Lol. This reminded me of that. Probably not funny at all unless you've seen it.

I remember them talking before the last game. I guess the only time he was held to single digits one year was at UCONN
