This team is in a death spiral. They look clueless on offense, and without Easom's long-range shooting, this blowout to a below average team would have been much worse. Do the coaches even run basic offensive plays? It doesn't appear so, as players repeatedly do some token passing, then one player takes it upon themselves to go one-on-one for a forced or contested shot. No screens, misdirection, drive and dish, give and go, pick and roll plays ever. On defense they usually hold their own, but not in this game. They allowed UP to score more than 20 points above their average, with post defense particularly porous. I know PSU are a little undersized, but their desire looked to be lacking, especially in the second half. They appeared to be a dispirited and beaten down bunch, after quickly falling behind in the first half, and the final outcome was never seriously in doubt. Sad.
