Why do people think this team is atheltic?

[upperdeck]

Other than Torrence no one else looks quick at all.

I've been wondering that too. Not quick or strong. Odd team.

But at least we’re slow!

take bad shots.. miss wide open shots by 2 ft, dont rebound at all. Cant guard anyone in man or zone.. tough to win if the other team is shooing 40% or better. And then leave the best shooter open all day.

Because in comparison to last year, we certainly are. However, last year's roster was the worst I've ever seen

This years roster makes last years look like a juggernaut

forced colgate into all sorts of mistakes to start the half and still get out scored because we cant even make layups.

I predict we win very few games where teams go 17-33 from 3.

This won’t be the last time a team hits 17+ threes.

 

[Cusefan0307]

They might be the dumbest basketball team I’ve ever seen. They didn’t even try to guard the 3 point line.

 

[syrBossHogg]

People should go watch highlights of the 2010/12 teams to see athleticism

Matter of fact, I'm going to do that now

Judah is extremely athletic. But yea, outside of him and Torrence, there isn't another above average athlete.

Outphysicalled is a constant excuse after just about any Cuse loss over the last 40.

Colgate stays between the man and the rim on D, packs the paint, gets open from 3, and bumps you some on the perimeter. Say whatever you will about Ajax/Hima they are always gonna body their man at least. Maybe this is the year we get two centers on the floor together in games like these since were playing man?

On top of that the conditioning is def not there yet. So many hands on knees.

 

[hungrychuck]

Also worth noting that when you’ve no idea what the frick you’re doing - and this team clearly doesn’t - whatever athleticism is there doesn’t show very well.

Benny and Jesse are athletic for their positions

Benny and Jesse are athletic for their positions

Watch Kentucky play and you realize athleticism only means something if you can make basketball plays. Benny had a good game but who cares, it didn’t help the team for whatever reason. It didn’t open anything up for anyone else. Jesse got pushed around like a freshman would. It’s absurd and our talent is not good objectively in comparison to our peers. This is not going to go well.

umm judah mintz is quick as hell

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Next person that brings up the bs trope that great athleticism is a prerequisite to play effective Man D wins a set of steak knives

This post is silly. Of course this team is athletic. Certainly more athletic than last year. The super athletes we had back in the day would already be in the pros at this point or never would have played in college except as freshman.

You can be athletic without playing athletic.

But you watch the game and you are hard pressed to find a play where we drove past anyone, get out on the break and run by people.. we dont outjump anybody.

We have a bunch of guys in the 6-7 ish body but then they struggle to guard guys who slower but play the game faster.

Judah had some great plays where he blew by people in the second half, issue is he’s the only one who can

 

[Cusefan0307]

The team isn’t unathletic, but they are weak as hell. Strength is an issue. We got pushed around.

Judahs play in the 2nd half was the thing that provides some optimism.
