MAW has iced many games for us. Let’s stop with hot takes. We take horrible shots and that has to stop. Not gonna throw individual players under the bus. Wes needs an offense and a tighter leash. Penny has learned street ball doesn’t work. Gotta get some discipline out there.

His points were easy baskets/dunks off of good passes by DDJ. He is at least tall, I'll give him that. And is a good offensive rebounder but a poor defensive rebounder due to how slow he is.

Damn right they are! That just just proves my point. If an offensively challenged player like Ado can score 14 points on 6-7 shooting why on earth are they shooting 33 three pointers when you are ranked 308th in 3 point fg %?
So far a lot is left to be desired on the coaching side. I know Wes has been talking a good game but being objective he isn't looking too great from a in-game coaching perspective. Looked good against Illinois, looked bad too often elsewhere. Still way, way too early and I'm still a believer but it's time to put some sort of offense and instill some discipline in the players. |

Horrible commentators, very inconsistent referees, awful free throw shooting, abysmal halfcourt offense for 90% of the game and we still win.
Thought we were in real trouble once we went down 8 in the 2nd half but Ado, Davenport and DeJulius all responded well to get us back in the game. Smart move to set up a game in a (semi) hostile atmosphere prior to playing at Eggs. |

Ado was a bright spot. He had 7 offensive rebounds, 2 blocks, 2 steals, and zero fouls or turnovers. And MAW was fine when he stuck to a floor manager role: 5 assists and zero fouls or turnovers. That's 55 minutes combined of foul and turnover free basketball between them.
The problem with this team remains shot selection. Attempting 33 threes against a severely undersized opponent is not a good gameplan. Ado, Lakhin, and Koval were an excellent 8 of 11 at the rim. We should have been pounding the paint getting more looks through them or Ody. Instead our guards had more rim attempts and went a dismal 2 for 12. Thankfully the midrange wasn't overdone in this one, and we shot a solid 5 for 9. I'm still of the opinion that MAW should have a single digit usage rate. Only DDJ had a higher usage tonight among players with 20+ minutes. MAW finished 1 for 12 from the field. Mason is struggling with his shot, but I think he's a decent creator and should be playing around 15 minutes to bring MAW down near 20. |

Hard to complain about our game when AAU Mega Squad Memphis just lost to (what I thought was) a very average Georgia team that was 2-5 going into tonight.
