Akot/Smith are putting up goose eggs and Doutrive is still sitting on the bench.

How long is Miller going to go with Akot/Smith???? In another month PAC12 play begins. Late February is not the time
to realize that Smith/Alot are not cutting it. Doutrive needs PT/experience now.

That guy really just bulldoze over the back to try and get the rebound and they give him the TO?

Well we gave a good effort and showed we can hang with the #3 team in the nation. That's what I was hoping for.

Foul disparity catching up to us...its not the fouls as much as WHEN they call 'em...I am convinced refs control the score because they can control the flow...

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Tue Nov 20, 2018 10:29 pm

Just too bad we had the foul trouble we have had tonight. Would have loved to see how we could finish this game Mano y mano

Oh well, live and learn.

Can't even remember a worse 2nd team ever for Arizona. Can't miss out on mentioning how awful Lee is too.

We are just out of gas but are still trying....

We are 1 or 2 Arizona good players away.... they will be here next year

Lack of depth has killed us here. Lots of players contributing very little.

2nd chance pts 14 - 0

Good effort boys...just don't have the horses to keep up with the Zags for 40 minutes.

OSUCat · Post by **OSUCat** » Tue Nov 20, 2018 10:30 pm

Bah, everything seemed off from the start of the half. The offense was slow and jeter oriented instead of more free flowing that it was in the first half.

Not surprising, you need more than one player to score. Luther, Akot,lee, jeter, Randolph, Smith just haven’t hit much.

Luther is too slow on the hedge and the help defense is a little too slow to recognize.

Backside has almost an impossible job. He has to be in the paint to contain the roller and be able to closeout on the pass. The margin for error is incredibly small and amount of effort is incredibly high. Ideally you would make it easier for your team to play defense.

We are getting killed on the glass since Jeter went out.

The rest of the Pac should feel nervous. We're not going to be easy to beat.

hence why NBA teams switch so much and no one hard hedges.

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Tue Nov 20, 2018 10:36 pm

Ugh. East coast is going to see the final score and have no clue how well we played for most of the game.

dmjcat · Post by **dmjcat** » Tue Nov 20, 2018 10:36 pm

We need to keep Jeter/Lee/Luther out of foul trouble this year.

GIVE up the hard hedge.....at least with the bigs. jeter/Lee are both getting fouls in every game hedging.

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Tue Nov 20, 2018 10:36 pm

This final score does not reflect the game we watched.

Proud of our guys.

I'm no expert in defense but I could have sworn I saw Ayton doing it with the Suns this season.

So The Zags outscore Arizona by 30 points in 19 minutes?

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Tue Nov 20, 2018 10:38 pm

Lots of good things tonight. The best thing though was miller not giving ESPIN a halftime walk off the floor interview. F U ESPIN

CalStateTempe · Post by **CalStateTempe** » Tue Nov 20, 2018 10:38 pm

That was a good game and what I was going for.

We didn’t give up we fought. It was fun.

Just didnt have the horses.

Few just throwing it in our face.

Sideline reporter: "How did you get back in the game?"
Few: "...we started switching ball screens."

Oh what it would be like to have a coach that adjusted instead of telling the players to execute better.

Sometimes he comes up to screen level but I don't think he hard hedges too much. But the Suns are the 3rd worst defensive team in the NBA, so...

Going to be nice next year having a tall pg. We will switch screens too. It's hard to do when you have a 5'9" pg

Game changed in 2nd half when we started trying to get Jeter involved on offense. That got us out of our flow that got us playing so well. It also forced Chase into getting a frustration foul that led to a frustration tech. The game took a turn before Jeter fouled out. It didn’t do us any favors either.

Well Dook would beat this team by 30 easily, they're that good. They're going to smack Gonzaga too.

Yep. The issues that lead to Gonzaga taking the lead and keeping it are fixable over time
