Vok is NOT a skinny white kid. He is muscular AF for a sophomore 7 footer. And he wants to create contact and bang. Wonderful to see.

I was actually mildly pleased with Traore. That dude is a gifted rebounder. If you just watch him, he is always getting in position and has great rebounding instincts. He is just a little out of control right now, but is getting back from injury.

Didn't know about #23, he looks clueless af so that makes more sense

Guess you are supposed to run off the court as a defender instead of let the guy run right into you for a blocking call. 

This is the worst part of basketball. 
 

Then they call offensive on V in the paint for backing down.

When was the last time we had a good FT shooting team? I know it may have been recently but I can't remember. Seems like it's always a weakness of ours. 

2024 .749

2023 .757

2022 .748

2021 .746

2019 .685

2018 .697

2017 .665

 

I'd say 75% free throw shooting as a team is pretty good.

Forever.... I may be imagining things, but back to the Final Four team in 2003?

Man. It feels like we've been in the 60s for 20 years. Maybe it's WHEN we miss that kicks me in the balls

OK... So... In the tourney last year, I looked the motion offense Xavier ran. I called it during the game and ask for this coach.

WTF is this offense? It's better than Terry's offense, but it's looking really basic and easy to defend. 

Do we just not have shooters?

There's not been one good shot taken from outside that looks natural to us

Said since late last season Mark at PG is a change up look, not a starting option

while this is true to some extent, Duke probably plays pretty good D, so hard to gauge right now.

We are missing a solid guard

this team could really use an isaiah taylor on it. and a jordan hamilton while we’re at it.

There's space around the FT line if we get more cutters. But it's Game 1 on the road against Duke, so no clue if that will get fixed tonight.

Meanwhile, I'm thinking we need 10 shots out of Swain from this point on. He might miss a bunch, but he's the man.

I find myself thinking Swaim needs to be touching the ball every possession. At some point this season he's going to take over this team. He's clearly a much better player than anyone else.
