So here’s where I’m at..

Just wondering what the board thinks a true turnaround looks like over the next few games.

Obviously a big win against Cornell at least 20ish points. Even perfect play by Carlos is not what I want to see cuz that gives him more rope to keep mins at the point. Bell going for 9-10 from deep also I dont need to see wasted on Cornell when we’ll need that in a bigger game later. Eddie needs a rest and I’m not trying to see JJ have to have 30 to put Cornell away. Will we play down on our home court again.

Tennessee should be #5 in a week. Can we compete on the boards, contain them defensively and not get crushed on turnover margin. How will our talent match up with a top 5 teams talent.

I’m struggling myself to come up with what I really want to see through December.

I’m struggling myself to come up with what I really want to see through December.

For me, I want to see roles for Naheem and Cuffe, because they both could help. I want to see some zone, because we saw it work pretty well against Texas. Why go away from it in the next game?

I think the starting guards should be JJ and Choppa.

I want to pull Chris Bell at the 16 minute mark if he doesn't start a game well, and get Davis in there before we fall too far behind.

I want to see Donnie start inside-out with his offensive game. His defensive rebounding is getting better. But if he makes mistakes, you have to take him out and talk to him.

Some people might say Petar is flat-footed and a bit slow, but I like him situationally in the mix up front. Use the fouls to play harder on defense.

I would like to see Eddie start his offense more at the elbow instead of the 3 point line, especially at the top of the key. That takes him away from the boards, he's not a threat to hit the outside shot, and he can't drive to the rim from that far away.

I don't think Freeman is a bruiser. He shies away from contact.

He averages 25 minutes per game, and he is our leading rebounder with almost 9 per game yet he shies away from contact. There really are some brilliant analysts on this board.

He has been soft at times. In the Texas Tech game, he had a stretch where he had balls ripped out of his hands 3 times within just a few possessions. He also was a ball watcher earlier in the season. He seemed more engaged in Brooklyn, but he's got to be more consistent.
