Our guards are awful at running their guy off our high ball screen. Our bigs get a lot
If fouls because of our guards mistakes.

Perhaps letting his assistant coaches have a chance to audition for their next job. Give them a chance to show their stuff...for this job or another.

Redbird alum Steve Fisher took advantage of his late season opportunity a generation ago.
It also helps to have a starting 5 that were all NBA draft picks. 4 in the first round.

I don't understand having Strong shoot out of the timeout. He's struggled all game. Then Tone should have pulled up just past the free throw line rather than driving into a crowd near the bucket. If he was trying to draw a foul, he just needs to review the Drake game on whether he'll get calls at the end of games.

Damn it. Did not like that play out of the timeout. Didn't like the play to end though either. That was a winnable game.

Why? Reeves was used as decoy because they were denying ball. Strong got a very good look that he usually makes. Love that call. Reeves was too out of control on the last play. Carter made a nice and clean block.

Uni was doing everything they could to prevent reeves from getting the shot. Strong had a wide open shot. Seemed like he was a bit too excited and put too much on it.

Overall, pleased with the effort from the team. Guys like Fleming seemed to regain some aggressiveness out there. Have to wonder if some guys have a bit of a weight off their shoulders with Dan removed. Jones seemed really engaged and involved on the sidelines. Like to see it, unfortunately he can’t remove all the bad habits with one practice.

Most any night you would take that shot by Strong but he was so off tonight. We are just so good at finding a way to lose, but you can’t fault the effort. Why do I think if Strong had made it and Green drove like Reeves he would have gotten a call

I don’t care if UNI was going to double Reeves. He’s your best player having a great night. Strong was open but 2/13 on the night. There was plenty of time to get the ball to Reeves. Of course no call as usual on the last shot. Big surprise there. I guess that’s why we need a new coach.

Strong was 2-12 going into that possession. I bet Jacobson was very happy that he was taking the shot.
