Seeing them live, we just aren't good.

Any good moment is washed away by something bad - some turnover or missed assignment or rushed possession.

Just too many mistakes.  There was a sequence w Carlos where he had like 3 turnovers back to back. A 4 point game became a 9 point game.

W Donnie its the lapses on defense & deer in the headlights moments on 50 50 balls. The FSU kids were his body type too, but a lot tougher & more aware.

There is a lack of motion on offense & reliance on one on one play.

On the positive side, it was nice to see Bell hit some shots, Petr fighting for every loose ball, & JJ back in action.

We were OK when we settled the ball a bit & tried to get good shots. We just didn't do that enough. After some initial motion,  players would stagnate & someone would take it upon themselves to force a shot. Usually a shorter SU player on a taller FSU player. Every shot for us was hard. For FSU, their shot attempts were largely uncontested.

One thing that maybe doesn't show up on TV is Red having to direct people to the right spot. There was a moment where he spent about 10 seconds trying to get Petr in the 'right' spot on an inbounds play. P seemed really confused. Ultimately didn't matter bc the play broke down immediately and we barely got it in.

I hope things work out for Red next year, but I just don’t see it.  I cannot tell what kind of program he is even trying to build.
