For all of the offensive woes, the Dnhas been less than stellar.
Z losing his man twice, Oregon getting to where they want, too.
December 14th, 2019 at 12:42 PM ^
DDJ should be starting over Brooks.
December 14th, 2019 at 12:47 PM ^
I think the microwave roll works for now. I think Johns over Wagner could be a go though. Franz is going to be very good but he is really struggling.
December 14th, 2019 at 12:43 PM ^
Is Xavier missing a tooth?
December 14th, 2019 at 12:44 PM ^
Can someone smarter than me please explain how in the hell we get Oregon to commit 6 fouls by the 13 minute mark and then dint get them to pick up another one until 6 minutes left? This was a problem under Coach B as well. We get teams in early foul trouble but then just jack up 3s. Take advantage of the foul trouble...
December 14th, 2019 at 1:01 PM ^
Like 4 of those fouls were offensive fouls on Oregon, and at least one was on a rebound. We don't force many fouls on the other end bc we have no one who drives to the rim -- specifically wings. Simpson gets to the paint, but wins with deception, not power and athleticism. We need someone who can attack the rim -- Stauskas, THjr, types. I had hopes for Livers, but he just doesn't have anything after he pump fakes and drives -- he constantly pulls up for mid-range shots.
December 14th, 2019 at 12:44 PM ^
Big time stuff from DDJ. Both ends.
December 14th, 2019 at 12:44 PM ^
Livers pumped fake nobody and let a guy close out on wide open 3. That’s been pretty common of late.
December 14th, 2019 at 12:46 PM ^
It's what happens when the whole team is missing 3s and you aren't sure if you should fire or not.
December 14th, 2019 at 12:44 PM ^
Here we go.
This basketball team is fun
December 14th, 2019 at 12:44 PM ^
Please just try to get within 5 at the half, and maybe they'll stop hitting crazy shots and we'll hit a couple more wide open ones.
December 14th, 2019 at 12:44 PM ^
Im liking this line up. Need more shooting to spread the floor, and have Johns work the board.
December 14th, 2019 at 12:46 PM ^
ya, i actually think johns should get more of wagner's minutes right now. wagner needs to get much stronger with the ball and more consistent with his shot to earn his minutes.
December 14th, 2019 at 12:54 PM ^
Yeah, I'll say it -- Wagner has been flat out awful. Freshman, injury, etc, I get it ... But he's been bad in almost every way, including shooting, which is supposed to be his weapon.
December 14th, 2019 at 1:04 PM ^
At least he’s not a one-and-done now like we were all thinking he would be.
December 14th, 2019 at 12:45 PM ^
DDJ kept team in the game. Finish last 3 minutes and we’ll have a chance in the second half
December 14th, 2019 at 12:45 PM ^
DDJ's been a spark.
December 14th, 2019 at 12:46 PM ^
I said it earlier we just play better when DDJ is in..He shoule be starting over Wagner...I think Wagner is way overrated...I think because of Mo we thought he would be like him but hes clearly NOT...at least we have a pulse right now..This nex possesion is pretty important
December 14th, 2019 at 12:47 PM ^
Positionally it would make more sense for DDJ to start over Brooks. Otherwise we are starting a lineup of midgets.
December 14th, 2019 at 12:46 PM ^
More playing time for Johns, please! He's not scoring, but he's doing everything else that leads to scoring. He brings a ton of energy too, which is sorely needed right now.
December 14th, 2019 at 12:46 PM ^
Keep attacking the rim. Try to draw fouls. Shoot the 3 only if it's wide open on a kickout.
December 14th, 2019 at 12:46 PM ^
We need to make a shot on this drive
December 14th, 2019 at 12:47 PM ^
David and Brandon came to play ! Johns is a rebounding machine . He needs to get more minutes
December 14th, 2019 at 12:48 PM ^
I agree considering rebounding and shot creation are sorely needed on this team. Both guys should be finding some more minutes.
December 14th, 2019 at 12:49 PM ^
Cant even make a dunk lol
December 14th, 2019 at 12:49 PM ^
holy crap. someone finish at the rim.
December 14th, 2019 at 12:50 PM ^
Livers gotta finish but I love it!
December 14th, 2019 at 12:50 PM ^
Missing multiple dunks? Sheesh.
December 14th, 2019 at 12:50 PM ^
Livers playing another terrible game. Didn’t take the step anticipated
December 14th, 2019 at 12:50 PM ^
Be strong Brandon!
December 14th, 2019 at 12:50 PM ^
We need to practice finishing dunks
December 14th, 2019 at 12:50 PM ^
Cant dunk the ball but DDJ hits from downtown
December 14th, 2019 at 12:50 PM ^
DDJ single handily keeping us Alive
December 14th, 2019 at 12:50 PM ^
Hustle and ddj making this a game. Credit Howard for going small
December 14th, 2019 at 12:50 PM ^
This is such a bizarre game. We just missed dunks on two consecutive possessions.
Edit - 3
December 14th, 2019 at 12:51 PM ^
DDJ!!!!
December 14th, 2019 at 12:51 PM ^
DDJ needs to be playing more minutes.
December 14th, 2019 at 12:52 PM ^
Man we finally got some momentum! Good defense always leads to good offense.
December 14th, 2019 at 12:52 PM ^
johns that shit can't happen
December 14th, 2019 at 12:52 PM ^
Oregon's match-up is pretty weak but still very effective.
December 14th, 2019 at 12:52 PM ^
ANOTHER MISSED DUNK! FUCK!
December 14th, 2019 at 12:52 PM ^
DDJ is a fearless shooter for sure
December 14th, 2019 at 12:53 PM ^
Make a mother fucking dunk. We should be up by 10
December 14th, 2019 at 12:55 PM ^
In what world or what game were you watching that we should be up by 10?!!
December 15th, 2019 at 11:51 AM ^
I watched us miss about 8 open 3s in a row.
December 14th, 2019 at 12:53 PM ^
Are you kidding Johns??!!
December 14th, 2019 at 12:53 PM ^
Livers Disappointing
December 14th, 2019 at 12:53 PM ^
Holy shit make a fucking dunk or layup. What the fuck. Could of had it one possession
December 14th, 2019 at 12:53 PM ^
Have to make dunks, lay-ins, and open threes
December 14th, 2019 at 12:57 PM ^
What’s with these lofty expectations? What’s next? Beating OSU in football?
