Drake had 2 or 3 guards that could get into the paint anytime they wanted to, and once they did, they knew what to do with it. They either found the open man or they scored it themselves.
We have nobody that can get into the paint at will like that and break down the defense. Scotty gets in there once in a while, and I think he turned it over nearly every time he did.
SCOTTY IS NOT A POINT GUARD FRED!!!!!!!
And what kind of offense are we running? Not one single open 3 pointer all night that I can recall? All were very contested.
So... defensively we couldn't stop Drake from driving right into the lane all night and breaking down our defense... and offensively we have nobody that can break down a defense with the dribble. That's not a good combination folks. And NO... Royce White can't break down people off the dribble either. Yeah, once in a while he can, but usually he's WAY out of control. Most of his charges tonight were in fact charges. He's out of control.
We have a TON of weaknesses. Add to that, it looks like we don't care, and it looks like Fred doesn't care either. I just don't get it? Where's the pride? Do you guys really want to walk around all year knowing that Drake whipped your rear ends? I sure wouldn't. But these guys don't seem to care.
I can't think of one ISU player that played better than any Drake player tonight. And don't give me Royce White. He played with no passion and was schooled on many occassions.
Who else thinks Nebraska probably beat us by 30? I do.
