Also, Tulsa has missed a number of makeable threes. Sometimes it's just getting lucky that they miss shots.

Omg haha haha

Gotta sharpen up that D 44 points is unacceptable

UC basketball feels like a lifetime movie where the abusive husband beats his wife up and she leaves but then he turns up With flowers the next day only to beat her again in a few days

Tulsa just beat temple by 30. Weird league.

2nd half was much better.

But dude.

This defense will collapse in road games because teams won’t turn it over like this and they sure as hell won’t go 0-18 from 3


That said... we defended our asses off and played hard.

But that’s also a lot tougher to replicate on the road.

I’m still not a fan of the schematics of this defense with these players.

Jarron’s poor defense is far more exposed in this defense with no one manning the paint

You’re right to some extent. Better teams won’t miss shots but you worry about that when it gets here. Enjoy the 30 point win.

Oh I enjoyed it.


I just think we can get even better if we switch defenses every once in a while and...... play Diarra more.

He really gives us the rim protecting defense we need.

Dou is really developing.


CJB and his staff know how to develop bigs

Yeah. Next year went from looking like a .500 team, to a possible bubble team. Vogt will be one of the best centers in the league. Diarra looks to be improving. We will miss Jarron but maybe a couple people can step up.

he is decent against unstructured offensives such as Tulsa and UConn. Against structured offenses with good passing he struggles. Glad he appears to be progressing, I'm certainly rooting for him.

Yea but that doesn't count.
