It very tough to win in today's game without guys who can knock down the 3 ball. We trade tough 2s, but give up open 3s. Ok well.

What is going on with Ewing and Mutombo? The assistant coaches are giving Ryan instructions and not Patrick.

In the arena, Ryan does way more communicating on defense than any started on this team, calling screens and switches. And he had two put backs that Q rarely makes.

This could be a good rotation to close the gap a bit.

Their ball movement is so much better than ours

So much defensive help on Primo's regular inability to keep his man in front of him and that is opening threes and open shots on the help.
If we take his jersey that may help the defense.

It just looks like Marquette can do anything it wants and get any shot it wants.
Put another way, they are toying with the Hoyas and their CYO level defense.

Marquette is an enjoyable team to watch on O and D. One can dream.

Akok is one of the Hoyas best defenders and can handle Oso-type players, but he isn't getting minutes. Akok also getting buckets today, but sitting. Makes no sense.

Quite possibly the worst half court defensive half this year.
That said, decent crowd here for the wake.

They get 45 in the half without a single FT. Finding new ways to let teams set records.
Why do I keep watching this garbage?! I keep telling myself only one more month!

I’ll take Kolek on my team any day. Also Shaka as my coach.

For as bad as we are offensively, games like these highlight just how bad the defense is. We get broken down by simple action, always chasing, late to close out so running at shooters, getting picked apart in the paint. We don’t even know how to handle simple ball screens. Everyone is doing something different. If you switch on the ball screen there’s no reason that anyone should be helping off the wing, and if the big is gonna show, then they shouldn’t still be able to get a straight line drive to the rim. It’s February and it looks like day 1 of the season. When we play average poor to average 3 pt shooting teams, our defense looks better because they’ll take fewer and make less 3s, but against a team like Marquette or Villanova of season’s past, we just get blitzed because simple ball movement will generate open 3 after open 3 all game long.
