How the team responds this week will be very telling.....hopefully someone stands up and provides some damn leadership in the locker room. BTFD.

The Cats aren't even playing good enough to make any post-season tourney right now.

How can we not constantly beat the zone with Ayton?

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Thu Jan 11, 2018 7:09 pm

lol at getting outworked and outhustled again. I see the team has really regrouped since Boulder.

Miller's comments seemed to fall on deaf ears.

I guess Miller's words fell on deaf ears in the locker room

We do. He’s shooting like 76% against the zone.

I know!

Settling for outside shots early

Hopefully we get that out of our system, soon.

Is RR coaching basketball? This seems like RR type of defense/team.

Ayton's touched it like every fourth possession it seems

JFC Randolph

We need a point guard to penetrate and create. Damn, we need some energy. Drive and attack!@!!!

Randolph sloppy but I'll take the effort

Alkins not looking great

Randolph bringing “energy” if not execution, as previously noted.

Team plays so much better when Ristic is on the bench.

And the bench isn't great, but at least they have energy. Right now they are better than the starting 5.

Ristic is the best practice player per Miller. Not a gamer.

zonagrad · Post by **zonagrad** » Thu Jan 11, 2018 7:19 pm

Ristic is just so limited. He makes shots but just kills momentum with slow defense and fumbling rebounds. Maddening. To reach our ceiling I don't think he can be a key contributor in March unless he plays limited minutes. He's such a liability.

Depressing

How is it that with our size advantage and teams always playing zone that we do not kill teams on the offensive boards?

Well, if the NCAA doesn't slap us with probation/tourney ban in the offseason you will get your wish next year with Williams. If they do you will get Barcello (scary thought)

Addition by subtraction with all of our upperclassmen. Poor players and leaders. No effort coming off a bad loss and public shaming by SM.

Catintheheat · Post by **Catintheheat** » Thu Jan 11, 2018 7:21 pm

We have turned into a team of chuckers.

Because Miller doesn't know how to play against a zone............period

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Thu Jan 11, 2018 7:22 pm

(2) 7 footers and we are chucking up 3s.

This is the stupidest team I've ever seen.

Tinkle has both feet on the court at least half the time.

Stop shooting threes!!!

zonagrad · Post by **zonagrad** » Thu Jan 11, 2018 7:27 pm

Need a player to take charge. I normally would want that player to be the point guard, but that isn't going to happen. Trier or Alkins simply need to take command and decide we are going to attack, under control. Attack the paint, drive the ball, dish the ball to Ayton or any open teammate.

We are playing so tight. I have no doubt we'll win this game. But Trier & Alkins need to relax and enjoy the game and just go. They're so out of sync.

YoDeFoe · Post by **YoDeFoe** » Thu Jan 11, 2018 7:28 pm

Good play on both ends by Akot...
