  1. Good offensive movement, energy, and shot selection so far to start half 2
  2. So running a pick and roll with the guys Shedrick and Horton are covering should be gravy…
  3. With Disu's knee and Cunningham's thumb, we are basically a 6 man rotation that adds some 7th man minutes for Onyema. If we'd been able to get a couple other scholarship guys in for a few serious developmental minutes in prior games, we might have a little more to lean on. As it stands, Shedrick will need to be very good and Hunter and/or Horton will likely need a solid scoring game for us to prevail against OU. I am more confident in Shedrick (unless his back problems flare up) than Hunter and Horton. Abmas needs to play under control and look to pass rather than throw up the off-balance, half court shit if they choose to take him out of the game with double teams and press defense. He went from amazing to wtf when Disu went down in the last game. A lot of that was because Baylor decided to take him out and our offense devolved to him forcing up bad shots in the final 1/4 of the game.
  4. I could see beard jumping to Indiana if offered, being a Bobby knight protege
  5. It felt like we got out of our offense and starting forcing one on one stuff about the time Disu last came into play game. Lotta rushed poor shots by guys that should know better after disu’s injury and really bad weakside rotation and covering the rolling pick man when we aggressively hedged the ball handler … I doubt Terry told them to ease off. They panicked when Disu went out (despite doing okay without him for long stretches) and played lazier / sloppier 2 dumber ball on both ends the second half … Refs also seemed to get whistle happy on one end of the court
  6. Horton ain’t gonna rotate … he might roll over in neutral sometime later tonight but fuck breaking a sweat on defense… best keep Shedrick back on his man
  7. Horton plays like he is 1 touch from fouling out all the time.
  8. Number 15 has both hands on people pushing on defense
  9. Weaver need not leave the floor except for exhaustion or foul trouble
  10. Probably 2 … maybe 3 if he has a third year of eligibility
  11. wears the sponsor shoes nobody else wants to be seen in?
  12. Horton looks like he joined the team this morning … he frequently appears to have no idea where he is supposed to be on both ends of the court and often gets in the way of teammates
  13. Energy looks okay… but playing way too sloppy for game 29 against a bottom dwelling opponent … rarely used lineup on the court currently … Disu, Shed, weaver, Brock and Hunter
  14. Sometimes it's impossible to pinpoint if a player has been coached up and is simply fucking up and/or not following the plan, or whether the player is confused/doesn't know how to do something right due to subpar coaching. What is evident with this team is that it has shown the ability to play great some games and play embarrassingly poor basket ball during other games. Sometimes the team looks like a sweet 16 team and others it looks like a first round NIT loser over the course of the same game. The inconsistency represents a significant weaknesses in confidence, focus, conditioning, reacting on the fly, play-calling, fundamentals, etc... all of which suggest shortcomings by the coaching staff in scheming, motivation, substitution patterns, and practice repetition. Every coach has his weaknesses. Perhaps this team would be a few wins better if Terry's assistants were stronger at things he is not that great at. Perhaps he is a bell curve coach at best.
  15. Really need abmas to play with more control and court iq… him throwing up bad shots early in the shot clock is inexcusable … he can jack those up with the clock running out…
  16. Shedrick is ok for an injury prone big that moves okay and can give you 10-15 minutes a game… absent a decent big man to man the paint and a couple guys who can maintain a dribble moving north and south (not to mention a couple guys who can hit an open three at a good %) next year could be a drop like Arkansas saw this year … Terry can fill out the roster with guys who have decent stats / expectations but he’s yet to show he can get them on the same page, working cohesively and without panic on defense and offense. He won’t have abmas and Disu to run high pick and rolls and make something out of nothing when all else breaks down.
  17. I can believe that falling out of bounds three pointers are the best looks we can dial up for abmas
  18. No excuse for being this skittish, confused and loose with the ball on offense at this point in the season … still looks at times like these guys have never played together before.
