Lemoyne Postgame

[kcsu]

Need to see that fire and intensity. Leadership on the floor on the court and sideline.

Reds effort and his team's effort were disgusting tonight. Inexcusable. He should have been all over them. My only concern with Red was if he had the ability to be tough on them. Time will tell. Tonight he was more of a Den Mother.

JJ is a kid with a lot of talent but still just doesn’t go out and play. Great kid and easy to root for but he’s still stuck in his own head it seems.

He needs to be more of the leader. This is his team and he needs to show it. He’s got so much talent but disappears too much.

Also if Lucas and Carlos shoot any more 3s they should be pulled. They’re not our shooters for a reason. God.

I’m not ready to crown us the best team in Syracuse until I’ve seen OCC and CBA play.

Cba? Do they play basketball? WG has kid on the floor tonight.

Yeah I wanna see that fight for your life mentality. I get we can’t walk out there in desperation mode either but there still is a level of intensity and desire to win that should be more visible. We saw it clearly from Davis out there at least.

If we haven’t seen it by now not sure we are going to see it. He and bell are both maddening to watch. They are both extremely soft and passive players. We need to force feed Moore minutes to build him up.

Red should have been all over these guys for their lack of hustle and effort. He has to let them know that this isn't acceptable and won't be tolerated. This one's on Red

Credit to Lemoyne for letting shots fly, and playing hard the whole game. Some of their shots were from good sets, and a few off pure adrenaline I'd imagine.

Our forwards seem to have a good mix of skills between them (finesse, bully, some athleticism). Eddie is a bit slow (expected) on defense but overall I think a net positive tonight.

JJ seemed to be sort of the same on defense as last year where it looks like he's really trying but still gives up some penetration. Carlos just got abused all night and it's hard to imagine every team not doing the same thing all year which is troubling. He's aggressive and in your face which I like, but he's just too small. Had a difficult time setting people up or getting into the lane as well.

So I'm unsure, tonight the team looked a little lackadaisical and disorganized which I'm sure can improve. Hoping our half court sets don't devolve into a quick pass for a Bell 3 or dump it down to Lampkin/Davis for a post up all year. Defense needs to improve a lot.

maybe westry or moore can play PG???

Yeah can we see someone just get angry? Not like stupid angry like Benny but maybe someone who takes it personally we aren’t winning such a game by 20?

Neither one of these guys showed that until Bell made that last defensive play.

 

[dasher]

If you believe in moral victories, then this might have been a moral loss; sort of like the VT football game.

The VT football game was nowhere near a moral loss. And it doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath with this fiasco

There were highlights?

 

[Jake]

Two glaring weaknesses defensively tonight that have to be addressed immediately. Carlos got abused and got in foul trouble.

There is no one to rim protect when anyone gets beat off the dribble. Literally no weakside help defense.

Red is going to have to steal some minutes this year with Naheem and a 2-3. He needs to do this to keep Carlos out of foul trouble. JJ at point doesn’t work.

Lots of the other issues can be addressed. It’s looked like Nov 2009 all over again.

But that was highly disappointing.

ESPN app did a package... A lot of them we're Lemoyne plays.

Yeah we will have to see some zone this year with Naheem by the looks. Also by a stroke of luck maybe we can get something out of Chance to help with the PG duties. Not counting on it but if it could happen it would be very helpful.

 

[UpstateSM]

Happy that the season isn't over on opening night but that's on inexcusable start to year two of this era. Apathy starting to be easier than anger or disappointment, again.

Need to blow Colgate out from the jump next week. Anything less than that and we are in trouble.

Those 3-4 possessions with JJ at the point looked like Indiana attacking our zone under Crean.

 

[djorange1989]

Our tourney hopes have died in the OOC schedule the last several years, if this keeps up it will die by Thanksgiving this year

Yeah that tweet about Chance dressing next game can’t be a coincidence. Red must see it too. Again can’t count on anything or that he even would able to last the season but JJ can’t play the point hands down.

 

[Teddy19]

Upside for me was, as much as the offense lacked fluidity, we shot poorly and still scored 82 points. Also rebounding was better and guys were going to the ball. But free throws and defense ... ugh. It was so frustrating to watch our guys get blown by over and over again. Donnie Freeman looked like a freshman out there today; I think he'll learn quickly.

No clue why we didn't run some zone. Also Taylor getting 12 minutes to Choppa 2 is ridiculous. Need to see Moore and Petar playing way more minutes. Need to see 7 4 and Zone. Need to see some the press to help get us running and need to see Red light a fire under their arses vs wiping them.

Watching some of the game back the defensive rotation are non-existent. From the game, it looks like our coach has never taught or coached defensive back-end rotation. Nobody rotates over at all. They are in some serious need of some help and recovery drills. On defense, they move like a bunch of individuals no teamwork no helping. That is super concerning, especially against an inferior opponent. Red should be hammering home those details in Nov so they come second nature when we get into ACC play.

Besides Davis there isn't much positive to take away from the game and that goes for players and coaches.

We aren’t good. Is what it is. Talent level needs an overhaul. Grind it out this year.

I think we are ok. Need defense to improve drastically.
