My rotation players are:

PJC
Trier
Barcello
Ayton
Ristic

Barcello, Lee, Pinder... and Rawle soon.

Dylan Smith can get lost.

Not enough effort on the glass for us. LBSU's shot % is about half due to our pressure and half due to their being bad shooters. We have missed a bunch of open looks, so it's good we got those looks. Kinda meh overall. Good to see Barcello pulling the trigger more.

I think the Cats win a close one and demonstrate what they're really made of.

If the 49ers put up less than their average # of TOs against us ..... that'll be a very telling stat. Not that they need much help, but still.

Bordercat · Post by **Bordercat** » Wed Nov 29, 2017 7:00 pm

we have more threes now than all three games in Atlantis

When Ristic and PJC are the only ones rebounding good things aren't going to happen often.

TatetheGreat · Post by **TatetheGreat** » Wed Nov 29, 2017 7:06 pm

Not a big concern but Ayton should be winning most tipoffs. Probably just a timing problem.

Trier. Time.

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Wed Nov 29, 2017 7:07 pm

Another deflated, flat start in the second half.

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Wed Nov 29, 2017 7:07 pm

Lee is total energy. He needs more PT

Too much help defense, not enough defending your man.

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Wed Nov 29, 2017 7:09 pm

No defense.

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Wed Nov 29, 2017 7:09 pm

PJC was guarding a guy a foot taller in the paint who had the ball. That should never happen.

dovecanyoncat · Post by **dovecanyoncat** » Wed Nov 29, 2017 7:10 pm

C'mon Trier, that duck in pass that was a TO was such a formulaic move,; he didn't really look to see if it was an open lance, just kinda shoved it in there.

Bordercat · Post by **Bordercat** » Wed Nov 29, 2017 7:10 pm

Smith and Randolph are 1-12... WTF!

Smith and Randolph 0-7 from 3!

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Wed Nov 29, 2017 7:12 pm

We look awful

The game is in Phoenix. Not that it helps much, but at least it won't count as a home loss.

Here comes their run/our hambone slump.

This is discouraging.

We're not a very good team

Bordercat · Post by **Bordercat** » Wed Nov 29, 2017 7:16 pm

Ristic has only 4 points.

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Wed Nov 29, 2017 7:16 pm

Trier can not rebound.

Very. I can’t wait to alkins returns and I can’t believe im advocating for Miller to shorten the bench

Thanks AZCatGirl....had forgotten it is in Phoenix. Will be a HUGE test for us....just like @UNLV will be.

We're still being outboarded on the O glass.

I want to see defensive possessions that don't end either a turnover, a layup, or an open 3. Luckily the last several possessions have been turnovers. But we need a lot more of that forced shot clock penalty.

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Wed Nov 29, 2017 7:23 pm

Wow Ristic

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Wed Nov 29, 2017 7:23 pm

That LBSU schedule is a huge money maker for their AD. Probably supports every other program.

RondaeShimmy · Post by **RondaeShimmy** » Wed Nov 29, 2017 7:24 pm

Feels like our offense is either give it to Ayton or chuck a 3

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Wed Nov 29, 2017 7:27 pm

Does CSM ever teach blocking out? Dismal! No excuse for that O rebound.

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Wed Nov 29, 2017 7:28 pm

Pinder is Pinder.

TatetheGreat · Post by **TatetheGreat** » Wed Nov 29, 2017 7:28 pm

There's still hope for Lee and Barcello this season. Akot is getting fewer and fewer minutes. I guess he's too raw. I'd still rather see him than Pinder and Smith, though. And Randolph's 17 points against Purdue was a mirage, it seems.

Bordercat · Post by **Bordercat** » Wed Nov 29, 2017 7:29 pm

Which of the freshmen do you most believe in (including Smith)

Lee and Barcello are the best freshmen (not including Ayton).

Akot, Smith, Randolph.... sigh.

My rotation includes:
PJC
Trier
Pinder
Ayton
Ristic

Lee and Barcello off the bench. Smith, Akot and Randolph not getting many minutes.

PJC is having a good game.

Doghouse. He has played maybe 4 mins.

PJC is All World as always at home against inferior competition.

Maybe he is slacking in practice.

We needed to stop the bleeding and create positive momentum. This game does those things. Getting a good start was super important. It isn't gonna solve itself overnight, but this has been a nice step so far.

PJC is what he is, a pretty good mid-major PG.

No idea. He'll probably enter in garbage time.

Funny, huh? At first he seemed like a stellar producer and then ... Then Randalf who looked off started looking good. Hard to figure.

They have 3 more O boards than we do.
