Cats open as a 30 point favorite. That is a lot. Evansville was a 25 point dog the other night to Kentucky.

I'd say let's show everyone how to handle being such a large favorite, but no one back east gets the channel so...

The wild thing is that we really can't play our walk-ons because there are so many guys on the roster who deserve minutes (e.g. Baker getting 12 min in the last game). There's no let up.

You must be unfamiliar with CSM.

he needs to cover for the defensive deficiencies of Nico and all the new guys

i'd imagine he's in there quite a bit this season unless others can step up defensively

What’s the story with Koloko

UAEebs86 · Post by **UAEebs86** » Thu Nov 14, 2019 6:24 pm

Dunk it DD!

I felt like he was expecting a lob

Looked like he tried and couldn't make up his mind halfway there

Hazzard needs to practice putting it up high - wonder if that's related to his height or just a lack of athletes who would go up with it on his UCI teams.

Gettings may be strong but is slow and can't jump. He seems to be the odd man out in a transition type team. If we get into a half court game he will be more valuable.

UAEebs86 · Post by **UAEebs86** » Thu Nov 14, 2019 6:31 pm

How many layups have the 'Cats already missed?

And the pass to him needs to be early or he has to defer.

Why is Koloko the one flashing to the FT line when Nnaji is in the game...

Be thankful someone is doing it

Good call - stifled the offensive motion.

i'm going to need Smith to stop trying to be a ball handler or distributor

YoDeFoe · Post by **YoDeFoe** » Thu Nov 14, 2019 6:38 pm

Bummer that DD had to fuck around and get suspended - he came into the season with a ton of confidence and comfort on the court and it looks like he's going to have to rebuild some of that.

YoDeFoe · Post by **YoDeFoe** » Thu Nov 14, 2019 6:39 pm

That pass by Koloko gives me a lot of hope about his potential.

CSM should make him do 50 pushups every time he puts the ball on the floor.

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Thu Nov 14, 2019 6:42 pm

Gettings may be a great long distance runner, but sure doesn't have any burst out the gate.

Although he is really fun to watch, and great he got the ball back for a 3 point shot after that hustle play.

Postmaster · Post by **Postmaster** » Thu Nov 14, 2019 6:44 pm

When they figure out the right combo of guys when the starters start sitting, this team will be a handful.

I cringe as much as the rest of you, but to be fair he’s done some pretty good things with the ball in his hands this year. It’s just that when it breaks down for him he looks like a bad pickup gamer.

It's been shocking to see him penetrate (or take the open space) and make the bucket at the rim or the mid range jumper. But he's still liable to dribble into a bad situation and have zero idea where he is in the universe.

And he’s even had a few sexy dimes, as well.

Has Jeter not recovered from his multiple injuries last season?

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Thu Nov 14, 2019 6:54 pm

Its nice being up so much at half time instead of playing down to an opponent and keeping them in the game

Lol. He's like a yearling moose waking up in the lobby of a Zurich hotel: Wuh, wha happened!

Nico chooses not to pass to Chase repeatedly and I think there's a reason...

Ugh. Flush this start and begin again.

YoDeFoe · Post by **YoDeFoe** » Thu Nov 14, 2019 7:11 pm

Don't think it works playing Doutrive at the three (with Baker and Hazzard at the guard spots) - plays much better with the ball in his hands.

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Thu Nov 14, 2019 7:11 pm

Arizona has looked like crap this half.

Fouling 3 pt shooters - it's a bold strategy Cotton.
