Well that was pretty damn disappointing last night.
Some comments:
- Free throws. This is insanity. We air balled one last night. Sums it all up.
- Is it me or does Geving get into this point in the season and get down to a super small rotation? I get it that the BSC is a guard heavy conference, and I’m not saying act like it’s 1989 and throw in the traditional C, F, F, G, G lineup, but other than the six minutes by Hollins, that was a six man rotation last night. I noticed Zach sat late in the second half until about four minutes or so to go. Not sure if he’s under the weather or something since he only played 28 minutes, but it seemed like Geving was trying to rest him until the last handful of minutes in the game. Aw heck, it’s so easy to Sunday morning coach. :-\
- Does Robinson have carte blanche to toss up a three from anywhere on the court? I swear that one in the first half must have been from 28’ and the only guy I’ve seen that can knock down 28’ threes in the Stott Center goes by the name of Damian Lillard.
- I’ve noted a trend of lazy, not so crisp out top passes on offense that either result in a turnover or sort of disrupt the offensive set. We’re pretty good on defense at eyeing the passing lanes up top, so you’d think this wouldn’t be an issue.
- Our rebounding sucked last night. We don’t have too much size with our guard heavy lineups, but if you have three PSU guys and one MSU guy at or near the basket and the MSU guy grabs the board and scores with no problem, we’re not playing basketball correctly. On the other end of the court, we have guys near the hoop that aren’t even thinking about a rebound when the shot goes up.
What an absolutely crappy way to go into a week off in the schedule. Could be 5-2 fighting near the top of the conference, but nope, we’re 4-3 and sliding into the middle of the pack.
