Loving Solomon's effort

 

[stormchaser2014]

What is happening?

 

[cyclone.fan.97]

How many times has TT thrown it to a guy who cut the other way and the ball sails out of bounds ten feet away from anyone? Seems like at least 3 or 4.

And another one

Simeon Carter loves having front-row seats to games in Hilton LOL.

 

[Cybball37]

Good to see Cyclone basketball again over the last 3 minutes.

 

[Cyched]

Never doubted them

 

[Clones8686]

And another one

I can't remember the last time I saw a team do that so many times in one game, it's pretty funny.

Why are we not any good until panic sets in?

This year I think it's due to franticness helping to mask our weaknesses by getting the defense moving. In years past it was probably more of a mental thing.

ISO's and mismatch one-on-one's are not going to get the defense scrambling with this group. Imo we should try something more like Huggyball than Hoiball this year

 

[sheepplucker]

The only difference is Solomon is in.

 

[cyclones500]

if nothing else on defense, I like the diving-for-ball effort(s).

 

[CyJack13]

More Jackson, Babb and Young going forward, less Burton, Holden and Thomas please.

I'm inclined to agree with this

 

[DSM4Cy]

Young should start. Holden and Bowie can give relief for 8-12 minutes each.

 

[clonedude]

Amazing what a lineup of hustlers and effort guys will do for you.

Prohm gets so hung up with some of the fundamental mistakes Young makes, but he is an all out effort guy. Gotta have it.

 

[cyclones500]

... defense fueling the fast-break ... it's a must-do for this team, I think.

 

[legi]

Solomon has changed this game on the defensive end among other things as well. He has earned more minutes.

 

[DSM4Cy]

And...see Young there? Outstanding help D. His presence caused that miss.

I hope Burton is getting a message sent here...terrible D and stupid mental mistakes won't win games. His talent is too good to waste, though. He needs to be out there.

 

[Gerbs]

The only difference is Solomon is in.

And we aren't settling for contested jump shots, we are attacking the rim

 

[DrT]

I'd say the "Holden experiment" is dead, and that Bowie should by coming off the bench from now on.
