uni and drake in ot

 

[cubird]

We should be fine..tv game lineup had Strong at 6'8".

 

[Redbird Alum 2004]

Movement without the bad is better tonight. Defending behind the arc is not.

 

[Yogi]

uni just won in ot at drake

9 turnovers and Lance Jones . . . the reasons we're down 3 at half.

 

[Redbirdfan76]

Again have multiple turnovers!! We cannot pass the ball at all. Geez!! It is like I have said before, we try to do things that are beyond our skill level. Just continue our really poor fundamentals.

You mean our defense sucks. Just say it.

 

[Matt Hein Fan]

Need to sack up on defensive side of court.

I agree with this. Somehow our perimeter defense took a few steps back when Sy went down. Not sure why. Maybe Lewis can't guard the other teams best guard anymore and that is showing with the threes that have been raining down against the birds.

Yeah- I thought our defense was much better a few weeks go. Lately can’t guard the perimeter defense sucks. Many times we allow the guard to dribble to the hoop for a layup. Tonight at least we are allowing 3’s.

Everytime Freeman attacks the defense he gets a good shot or pass. 3 of his TOs were unforced. Need to use his speed against the slow guys guarding him. Fleming needs continue to attack with the mind set of shot first..then pass. Last game he penetrated, but got stuck with his back to the basket and no where to go.

Away from the ball Reeves tries to beat his man after couple moves then stands. U don't always need a screen from your teammates. Pick out the slowest defender on the court and run your guy into him.

They have been doubling Reeves! We don’t have a great offense that utilizes ball screens and cuts. It’s geared towards one on one play.

Getting embarrassed by a bad SIU team on our homecourt and their 40 students are making more noise then our several hundred. At what point does a group of donors stand up and put an end to this shitshow?

 

[Scipio]

It’s just become exhausting.

 

[Bird Friend]

Tough nite for Reeves, SIU making sure he doesn't beat them, though he does have 5 assists. As a team, the Birds have sucked again tonite.

Hopefully in 4-5 weeks.

Embarrassing loss.
