if you are spotty on offense - have to play defense - other than pointer and obepka's blocks - and if you want t to count balamou there is not another good defensive player on the team. The team defense is awful. Grapping, clutching, out of place - I can go on and on. This team is going nowhere unless the defense improves. Really hard team to watch.
They hold Villanova to 35% FG and you think the problem is the defense? Have to disagree.
Seriously. If this guy wants a list of reasons why we lost, defense would be the last on that list. I'd start the list with our production from the SF/3rd guard position compared to what Nova got from Bell/Hart.
Breakdown:
Bell/Hart - 49 minutes - 18 points - 15 total boards - 6 offensive boards - 3 turnovers
Dom/Phil - 52 minutes - 10 points - 9 total rebounds - 1 offensive board - 4 turnovers
We lost by 7 and Dom/Phil gave us an 8 point deficit in scoring. We were out-rebounded by 9, and 6 of those are represented here. We got a huge effort on the offensive glass from Jordan, Harrison and Sampson (+7 over their men), but squandered that here.
