If Moss starts hitting shots and is active like this, we become better.

We should outbound them. No reason not to, they are small.
But they are good statistically.
Currently 9-6 so that's good.
Seem to be holding our own on the boards
@Crimsonorblue22 Are you ahead?

Between the commentary and the shot clock timer this ESPN+ game feels more like an ESPN- game.
Commentary: NBA Ass
ESPN+ magic starts. Black magic that is

Mountain Biking- MTB.
Not work - play!
Mountain Biking
@Crimsonorblue22 thanks!
@Crimsonorblue22 yep. That’s what my wife makes me do. Off hand but after another injury on other finger I’m down to a thumb and 2 fingers 😀.
But if there are any MTB’s on here and want to come down to NW Arkansas, hit me up.
@Crimsonorblue22 yep. Not broken. Momentary light affliction from a mountain bike crash.
@tundrahok I thought that too. streaming crew.
Only plus for ESPN+ was watching while getting hand X-ray’d in 1st half!
WVU slowed us up with all things - a zone - for a period there in 2nd half.
Wonder if we’d practiced / scouted that for this game.
Got killed on boards. ORB was ridiculous for WVU
Down side. ESPN+ for this game.
0-8

Close this
Too many empty possessions last minute
Lob much in our game plan?
Getting killed on boards
Up 7
Nice job by Braun. Forced that up with touch.
Then nice tackle.
Liking Christian Braun.
We didn’t get crisp passing and ball control for Christmas

I think Braun will be very good in a year or two but I’m not sold on much outta him for this season. He plays hard, that I like but Enaruna IMO is a much better player right now. I don’t think Self changes the PT a lot going forward we basically play 8 with Silvio's single digit minutes.
@HighEliteMajor posted that Enaruna has lowest PER on the team. Be interested in both your commentary on that point reconciled against thought that he is "better player now" comment.
Malfunction Board Key A Had...
Got the key board fixed, but I think it was instructive of our defensive strategy. Bill did great adjusting his offensive strategy to shoot the 3 with a 4:1 set when he had shooters. However, even in those years, his Defensive strategy never adjusted.
Nova has now repeatedly shown us how to disrupt using a man defense that puts constant pressure on the perimeter. They have now repeatedly disrupted our offense via that philosophy when we've been the better team. (I'll leave out the year they had 5 shooters on the floor, but if I recall correctly, they used the same defensive strategy and completely disrupted our flow).
I think it also a matter of discipline. By that I mean repetitive coaching on defensive approach. So when he tells players in game situations to stay with X, they' ve been coached, disciplined in practice on the principles of help defense and they revert to form.
I say, make every player responsible for their player. You stay in front of them as if your life depended on it. You do not let them catch the ball anywhere on the court - or you run laps in practice. 5 positions. Smothering defense. Guard the line.

Geez, I hate Nova
I don't hate them. I hate losing to them.
@FarmerJayhawk Wouldn't fire Self at all. Not even a consideration. But would love to have him breakdown the Wright's defense scheme and begin to incorporate some of those principles. We may win some of the games against them, but other than when the last Final 4 game where they were just outstanding shooters at all 5 spots, I would say we typically have the personnel edge.

Freshman dont win in march
Well, there was that Carmello game...ouch
DanR said:
Nova only made 10 threes out of 41 tries. That's nuts.
and that's all it took along with some pressure Defense all over the court
Bill Self has been out Defensive schemed repeatedly by Wright. While I"m not at all trying to trash Self or run him off, but Wright would be a great replacement if we were looking and he was open.
Tristan E had a few moments
Braun did some growing up.
Crimsonorblue22 said:
With Marcus out some frosh got some valuable experience come March-April.
And while looking for silver linings, will take that and the chip on the shoulder that a game like this can bring.
Would you take him as head coach if Self was gone? I would.

Choke job Dotson is his new name
NO
Why not a low screen and alleyoop to our 80% shot maker?
Nice. where have I seen that play
All out attack on the basket
If we burn 8 seconds off and then throw the ball in the general direction of the hoop, I might swear, @Crimsonorblue22
DanR said:
steal it instead of fouling
You mean like that!
Its off #2
yes
No time outs for them. Can we cover up an inbounds play again? Odds are no
Good coverage there...get a steal here.
