Most embarrassing stat I've ever seen

[Eric15]

Three total assists by SU in the ballgame. Three! UVA had 15.

Are we even a basketball team? Or just a bunch of guys playing pickup?

 

[skurey]

Most pickup games I've played have more passing than our offense.

 

[4evaOrange]

We essentially go one on one and there's just no room for assist.
When we pick and roll nothing usually happens our offense is so predictable.
Iso from battle or a turnover.
Iso from Howard or a turnover.
Brisset lots of pump fakes and a drive to the basket.

 

[Alsacs]

Our coach doesn’t think passing matters.
He thinks our best chance is for us to go 1 on 1 and make shots.

It’s not basketball.
What sucks is this coach can’t be criticized.
It’s mind numbing how stale the program has been.
You adjust to what you have.

 

[SoBeCuse]

It’s an abomination that so many horrendous shots are allowed/endorsed.

 

[NineOneSeven]

I don't think it can get any worse, and then it does. It's actually unthinkable.

Since when? When did this begin? Is this a 'since Ennis' thing?

Its sad what our program has become.

 

[jncuse]

How about our total bench stats.

Zeroes across every stat, except for 4 fouls, and 1 steal.

Somehow, I can imagine JB rationalizing it by thinking 'we were in it until the end against #3 on the road employing this strategy.'

It’s a since we don’t have anyone that’s good on offense except Battle going one on one thing, IMO.

 

[Bayside44]

Our simple drive and weak side dump off is gone. I think Moyer and Howard can do that.

We’ve also managed to find the one Euro who cannot shoot a lick.

 

[OrangeDW]

Its sad what our program has become.

At least we’re not in the midst of an 0-36 ACC run though, lol.

We’ll be back. We all knew this was going to be a rough year.

 

[Alsacs]

Not sure where it began but he was very defensive about our offensive philosophy last week.
He doesn’t think passing is important.

I honestly would have preferred seeing JB step aside for Hop. After over 50 years of living and dieing with this team, I am quickly losing interest.

 

[jdubs30]

The only time we get any assists ever is when Howard can penetrate and find the open man because of the help defense. You can't do that vs. UVA.

It's tough to watch this team.

We'd be pretty damn good if we took a good shot.

I agree but JB needs to make adjustments.
Maybe recruit some shooting at the expense of length for the zone.
We can’t recruit exclusively for the zone unless the players can score.

 

[JazzNC]

As bad as it was, we lost by only 7 to the #3 team in the country on the road AND had only 3 assists. Unfortunately, I think UVA is vastly overrated.

 

[Eric15]

I think there was a thread a little while back where a majority of posters said they are happy Taurean Thompson is gone.

LOL

 

[malpearl31]

3 assists is not good. But we have no Bigs who excel at rolling to the hoop, catching and finishing. And we really only have one playmaking guard in Frank. They are who they are... Offensively challenged (especially against the #1 rated defense in the country), but they play hard and have shown the ability to come back late in games. (I know, I'm grasping for any positives I can...)

 

[tbonezone]

TT was catch and shoot. don't think he passed once.

 

[Alsacs]

I have said this like a dead horse.
Find Rick Jackson players.
If you have a big who can score your offense can force defenses to collapse.

 

[Eric15]

TT was catch and shoot. don't think he passed once.

But he could receive passes and finish well around the rim. And wouldn't have many 4-178 games from the field like other players.

LOL

No me. 6’10” efficient scoring forwards are hard to find. Just lunacy by the mom
