That's where I think we out today, based on a small sample size. Some of it is I think SEC is best conference in the country. I don't see the Butler team we played finishing in top 9 of SEC. I am one of the few thank thinks that Wisconsin team will make the NCAA tournament and I said before this tournament I thought they were better than people were talking about them.
I think the lack of a person who can post up is going to hurt bad
I think we are going to get abused by teams with a good big man because we are going to have to help so much down low.
-Poor rebounding team
-Bad free throw shooting team
Nothing comes easy in our half court offense. When we are desperate to end a scoring drought we don't have that go to guy to get an easy basket. They are all tough baskets
-We make a lot of dumb passes.
The pressure trapping defense is great. We get turnovers that lead to fast break points. We need to avoid our half court offense at all costs. I would like to see us do that a lot more often and use a lot more guys. Think it's our best way to be successful.
The easiest way to sum it up is lack of talent compared to our competition. I had low expectations for Brown, but he's even further behind that I thought. I had reasonably high expectations for Williams and he has just shown it in spurts. I had no idea what to expect from Coleman, but I expected him to post up more and he pretty much never does in our offense. I had big expectations expectations for Q and I'm pretty happy with his play. I had high expectations for Radford and he just has been too passive.
We need guys like Marcus Williams and Tyrece Radford to step up. I think these guys need to be more aggressive. I said before the season we would depend on W, Radford and Williams and I don't think those last two are bringing enough yet. They have to be more aggressive. They have to attack the rim more.
We have this ability to play great for a very limited of time. We have these stretches of poor play. Sure you can overcome them some nights like we did Notre Dame (I said at half we would win that game) but most nights you won't overcome it.
Good thing is they have a lot of time between now and SEC play. Somethings they can't fix because of limitations of talent, but defense, rebounding, passing and FT shooting can be improved and need to be.
