Bell needs to step it up

[rrlbees]

I don't find it funny when one of our supposed leaders plays like he did today. Couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Couldn't defend. He played like crap. I dont find that funny.

LOL

He’s improved in every phase. Rebounding, defense, puts the ball on the floor, drives to the basket, etc. things he rarely did. Even has had a couple real nice assists each game. He’s not just a stand still shooter.

He is a losing basketball player if he plays a starring role.

Youngstown State University was going AT him. With a guy who played at Toledo and hasn’t averaged above 7 ppg for his career. He had 26. And apparently Bell didn’t read the scouting report that he was a lefty.

On a scale of 1-10, Bell’s rebounding, defense, and everything but his shooting were all basically 1 or 2 the last two years. You say he’s improved? Ok, he’s improved to 3 out of 10 in those categories. He still isn’t nearly good enough.

I thought the game was depressing enough but these threads by “fans”are so much worse.

You’d have a point maybe if #3 had scored 26 vs Bell instead of 12.

If you would like me to go review the tape and point out all of the times Youngstown State, members of the 20th best conference in America, made a concerted effort to attack Bell and single him out I would be happy to. Devo called him out on several occasions for lack of attention to detail on the scouting report.

Bell has improved from a terrible overall basketball player to a below average one. That still is not good enough for a critical position on our team, and does not warrant playing 30+ minutes per game.

Go ahead. Bell nor any particular player was “singled out”

He’s good enough to do more than shoot, especially when he’s shooting badly. Its all attitude. Toughen up and show the will to win. Its not just about individually playing well.

We are currently shooting 25% from deep as a team which simply isn't sustainable. I'm hoping this is just a statistical anomaly and that number will normalize to around 35-37%.

Same with free throw shooting which is just a miserable 63.6%. Have to get that into the low 70s as a team.
