Soderball Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Need more toughness. The Billikens are a one trick pony with 3 point shooting. Looks like a knockoff McKillop team. That's the most glaring problem. Stop relying and depending on injured/crippled guys. Good shooting, nothing else. Slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyMo213 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Such an average average team. Inability to win big games rears its ugly head again. If we can’t win against vcu at home in this atmosphere it’s gonna take a miracle to win in Brooklyn. Yuri had some nice passes but still gets such horrendous tunnel vision late in the game it’s pretty much a net neutral. All talk about him being the best guard in the conference needs to be silenced tonight. Ace whooped him on both ends of the floor. Perkins is nothing but a spot up shooter and I would trust Forrester to bring the ball up the floor more than him. Jimerson and Forrester had good games. Pickett has nothing on offense but layups. Not sure why Hargrove isn’t getting more minutes because clearly what we’ve been doing hasn’t been working. Every little run we went on Rhodes had an answer for whereas Ford still shows an inability to make such adjustments. Rebounding messes and fumbling rebounds still so common it’s maddening. This team is charmin soft too and can’t handle any adversity Unfortunately unlike 2019 I’m not sure we have someone like Isabell who can go nuclear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other teams best player has a career game or goes over his average. This years theme, which pretty much goes back to last season, is fold late after we go cold on offense. After we were getting whatever we wanted earlier in the game VCU adjusted but we never adjusted. Spare me the switch to zone. That’s not an adjustment that’s just changing things up not real coaching. MattyMo213 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYBilliken Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 A real stinker of a loss - one of the worst. The momentum the team had rebuilt since December losses is now disappeared. It seems like we were trying something different with Perkins and Pickett handling the ball more. It has not worked. Lack of a true backup point guard has been damaging.
