Our defense and rebounding is clearly improved over last year. We get things cleaned up offensively and things will be fine. Not sure I agree with you with respect to defense. A lot of missed switching assignments, and Ewing looks really frustrated w defensive end of court.

Nothing's looked great, but the real issue this first half has been turnovers. Which is a Hoya staple, but we shouldn't be having so many against Central Arkansas.
We would be well served to not be doing Team A / Team B substitutions as well. This B team is PAINFUL. Once again, pre-season depth perception is way off -- we are not really deep.
Alexander looks completely lost at times. Hope he learns where to be on defense soon.

Nova, Seton Hall, Creighton, and Marquette must be licking their chops.

Defense is a a very broad term that encompasses a lot of different skills. For most teams, the strategy of defense is not to prevent any scoring (Unless you are UVA) but to make it difficult to score so that percentages will work for you over a full game. Yes, there are a lot of aspects of defense that need to be addressed, but our opponent is having great difficulty getting any shots off when they get near the rim which is typically a high percentage shot. I have only seen 1 uncontested shot inside the arc in the paint. Pickett allowed a dunk probably to avoid a foul. Their 3 pointers are keeping in the game. Tighten that up and this is already a blow-out. I really like what I see under the basket. Yes, other things needs to be addressed including 3 pointers, rotations, PNR, etc.

I had higher hopes for a better effort in the first half against an inferior opponent. This was not an inspiring effort to say the least.

I assume that Ewing will tighten the rotation as we move into the conference schedule but the defense is alarming.
