Are we worse on offense or defense?
On offense we shot 38% against a team that had zero rim protection and hoisted 23 threes. We continually missed getting the ball to lydon when he had position in the post and despite the fact that Coleman played 30 minutes and had a ton of success inside, we managed to get him a total of 7 shots. Roberson and Howard -- two keys to our final four run last season -- didn't play while AWIII shot 15 mostly terrible shots.
On defense, it wasn't just that we gave up 50% shooting and a ton of open 3s, it's that Wisconsin did everything they wanted so easily. 21 assists. Tons of uncontested looks.
The wild card is do you blame the rebounding on the offense or the defense because we were -15 in that department.
Wow. I can remember teams that didn't look very good on one side or the other but to be so ugly on both ends of the floor is disconcerting to say the least.
