I think some of Osun's minutes need to go to Ward. He rebounds better, is stronger and plays harder. I honestly haven't seen anything from Osun that makes me think he is that much better than Ward.

Not gonna lie, I'm pretty surprised that the more I see of osun, the less I like. I hope this ass kicking can wake him up.

Defense looked slow and lacked intensity with no close outs on the three limit shooters. The pick and roll was there a lot but never utilized it. Don’t seem to cut to the basket at all. Then again when the other team can’t miss, what do you do? I think they didn’t go inside enough and pound Rebecca as that was a mismatch that wasn’t taken advantage of.

Osun is a huge disappointment. Weak, cannot score or rebound or block shots. The biggest shock is shot blocking. Thought he would get a few.

Jones by far our best big. By far.
Ward is active.

Jones and Jaz should get the most minutes as far as bigs.

Grill is probably our best rebounder.

Tre King may need to be the Calvary.

We will be tough at home. Need shooters - coming next year. We are who we are this year.

Tonight - a bad game.

Lipsey/Osun p&r should be a go to action when in a jam. Osun has limits, but thing the p&r with options for lobs, slip screens and give and go or 10 ft jumpers are better than feeding him in the post for iso/back to the basket.

I love Jaz. Smart player and plays hard. I hope Tre cuts into his minutes. Jaz just doesn't score enough.

Yeah I am not sure why we don't run this more with him and Ward.

Fear that the scouting is out on us ahead of schedule this year. Pressure our PG/whoever is bringing the ball up the court, forcing us to start our sets 30 ft the hoop, with 20seconds on shot clock.

Holmes ≠ Brockington and we'll be in bad shape if we look to him night in night out to bail us out.

Wishing we had Williams healthy. He would have helped with what you write.

This sucks a lot because it was Iowa. Baylor lost to Marquette by 26 and Gonzaga lost to Texas by 19. S*** happens to good teams as well.

Plus there are a lot of flu bugs out there and you don't know if some of these guys are struggling with it.

Got punched in the mouth and didn’t fight back. First true road game so it’s not a shock, I suppose. Plenty of tape to get them fired up going forward but that team was damn near unrecognizable from what we normally see from an effort standpoint.

Don’t mind me. I’m just laying in bed with a decent buzz trying to figure out how an open 3 from the corner can hit the top of the backboard. I want a full investigation done. I need this thing fully mapped out. I want interviews conducted with anyone who had a good vantage point. I need answers.
