jarron got banged up in the WSU game. look at his last 4 games. early season jarron is back and early season UC is back. jarron has to play well for us to do well. it was the case last year and it is the case this year. when he doesn't, we struggle. |

i think that is effort. walking right up to them instead of getting into a good defending position. its effort, mental fatigue, lack of focus. any or all of those things.

If Keith or Jarron only had to beat one man and then nobody else between them and the rim...they could do that all night. But the other teams collapse have help waiting and we rarely pass back out on drives like that except for times when we have to end up behind the backboard and have no outlet. When we run into 2 defenders at the rim after beating the guy guarding you...there should be 1 or 2 guys wide open. But we go in and get a charge call or put up some wild shot that has no chance of going in or get blocked or turn it over.

what about the times vs houston, memphis, temple when he made no adjustments but the effort level went up and the defense shut those teams down the last 10 minutes. we can't live in a world where those things didn't happen. you've seen your team finally get it right with the same exact defense against far better teams and players. are we to say "ok coach, that worked against good teams, but you really need to try something different against these bad teams." |

would look a bit different if we had 2 non perpetrators that were great shooters. imagine jaevin in all the time and then another jaevin. that would spread the defense out. but as it is, if jarron has the ball, and jaevin isn't it, you dont need to defense outside at all. teams are sagging off preventing passes to Vogt. sagging off stopping drives. jaevin has 13 3's in his last 4 healthy games, but we have nobody else that can shoot. |

I can agree on some of this...but in the end...if you have one guy to beat the offensive guy has the advantage every time and should be able to make a play to get past. Let them shoot long 2's...we hate it when we have to shoot those. Let them take shots 5 feet behind the arc. We have some length but we don't have the foot speed

real talk though. i never thought a team could just give it to Tre Scott's man and say go attack him and it would work.
like legit never thought that would be something we'd have to worry about. |

Our rim protection was bad last night, but to me the biggest issue is turnovers have returned to what they were early in the season. Our average turnover rate in the last two games is 26.9, up from 16.6 in the previous seven games.
