Not sure if its a blessing or a curse but I have not seen a minute of this tourney since I don't have that app to stream it on.

Would love to comment on what seems to be wrong but for now just get too read you guys who are watching. It doesn't sound pretty that's for sure

This might be the worst venue I’ve ever seen. Constant stoppages flier cleaning up condensation and sweat leads to no flow for either team. It makes it a scrappier game and we proved we aren’t mentally tough enough yet. One of the only times I saw us get into a grove was our run from down 40-51 to go up 52-51. Little to no stoppages in that time if I recall correctly. I personally hope these irregular stoppages don’t occur throughout the season and it’s just a venue issue due to the locale.

If our team continues the way they have from the first two games, I would say as a technical matter we won't even "be battling" for that as the phrase "be battling" assumes battling.

Defense. HORRIBLE defense. Particularly in first game. Dribble penetration is allowed like we're matadors. Second game... No rebounding, and well.. 20 damn turnovers allowed for SMU to gain 19 points off of them. Haven't won away from McKale yet. Talk about torpedo'ing out of the top 10.

Down to -1 at some places, but mostly PK. Cats are 1-4 ATS.

Our opportunity to get back on the track tonight. Big opportunity. Starting with some great scheming against the Boilermaker's law firm of Haas and Haarms. Ayton big mins, combining with Ristic and Pinder, and maybe a smaller D/Akot at times in a few surprise switches.

I'd expect Akot to see mins as above, and lots of work against whichever of their quick-shooting perimeter guys who is hot.

Alkins will be a huge boost. We lost two games in a tournament ya we looked bad but the last 10min. With alkot they played good. This team won't lose more than 5 this year Miller just figuring out lineups. bear down

As far as the defense I think they are too aggressive. Why hedge with the bigs 4feet out from the three point line? Play closer to the line helps clog the middle. Ristic gets cought 25ft from the basket and he has no chance to recover. Make teams shoot contested threes. much easier when u aren't pressuring the ball from so far out. Stretching the D opens up the other teams offense. Pack it in and rotate

Reminds me when I was a UA sophomore and Ben Lindsey was head coach. Except that team didn't have any talent.

But would easily score 80 on this team.
