Something is definitely wrong with this team but I can’t figure out what it might be. Lot of guys that haven’t played together, is it Ward out, or are we just not all that talented?
No chemistry. Nobody who can score in the paint. No guards who can shoot. No basketball IQ outside of Tamin. Does that cover it?

Tech last year. A&M this year. No big lead is safe with us.

On the other hand, a lot of big leads aren't safe with our opponents either. It goes both ways.

But man.....I really was hoping for a more solid offensive team this year. Obviously they'll continue to get better.

I have seen enough to understand what the scouting report is on us. We can correct it but I have tempered my expectation to NIT/bubble team with the 7th grade offense and turnovers I am seeing.
Omaha went from a one or two and done to limited minutes has reality checked me also.

We also need to design a couple plays that have more than the first pass mapped out. I heard the assistant on the pre-game before VT say teams can't scout them well becuase they don't have set motion after the first pass or something like that. You are not going to get CJ, Pav or Mom set shots in that kind of offense. Need a few double screens or something.

Some of us, including me, had too high of an opinion of our offense after playing a few cupcakes. Outside of Milan and Tamin’s improvement, we don’t have much.
When we were bad offensively the last two seasons, we were dynamite on defense. Now we have neither.
