It is so frustrating that our coach can’t see this. There’s a reason nobody else plays zone as their primary defense. In this day of positionless basketball where everybody can shoot the zone doesn’t work. -on our last two possessions I have no idea why we didn’t set up a play where Judah would go to the basket and have the option to shoot or dish. He was getting into the lane at will and getting fouled a ton. -JB did a terrible job setting up plays coming out of timeouts. In one critical instance the best we could do was a quadir three pointer. -it is beyond frustrating that fans on this board have all recognized that brown is the kind of player we need to give minutes to yet JB couldn’t figure that out until the 13th game of the season -I hope Jesse and Benny look at the tape tonight. They were awful and their effort was simply not good enough. Benny seems like a nice kid and I want to root for him but he absolutely refuses to go to the basket and I have never seen a guy get his hand on more rebounds that he should secure but fail to do so. -I give Quadir a ton of credit. The kid has not played but obviously practices hard and kept himself ready to take advantage of his opportunity. Now somebody has to tell him to stop talking to the referees so much. -symir was particularly bad on defense with respect to closeouts. If he can’t give us defense there really isn’t much of a reason to have him on the floor and his minutes will have to go to Taylor or Copeland with Judah running the point. -The good news is that all five of the freshmen can play. Unfortunately JB will not look at this as a developmental year and some of these guys will be yo-yoed as far as playing time. We aren’t good enough to beat good teams so we need to give these guys experience and keep them in the program by giving them playing time. -and after watching that disaster we almost had a chance to win and we got one final kick in the stones to go to bed on.
