Game 3: Brown

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 7 years ago

Just got home, missed the first half. Looking at the stats. Why only one field goal attempt for both EC and Hassan?

Running Ram · Unread post by **Running Ram** » 7 years ago

Our defense seems much less smothering than in the previous two games. Not worried about offense atm

I wondered that to. I assume they just have nothing to replace it with.

No, Cox remains one of our corporate partners. They don't do our games for free but they sponsor the program.

Can't give up 13 offensive rebounds in a game, let alone a half

Maybe it's good that this is fairly close.....might be a little complacent.....I think they win by 20......

Going to be a lot tougher Saturday, a kick in the pants is what they might need?

Makes sense, thanks for clearing it up.

yea maybe plus starters getting extended minutes in a closer game might help

Poor defensive effort

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 7 years ago

I'd sit the starters down and find out who wants to play defense tonight.

bigappleram · Unread post by **bigappleram** » 7 years ago

Seems like no one does. Flat as a tire.

PeterRamTime · Unread post by **PeterRamTime** » 7 years ago

Yeah this is not the kind of performance we want...
Still struggle against the 2-3 zone.

Da_Process_Survivor · Unread post by **Da_Process_Survivor** » 7 years ago

Ego check night. Can't just roll the ball out and expect to win by 30. Need to bring the intensity and effort every night

Da_Process_Survivor · Unread post by **Da_Process_Survivor** » 7 years ago

Also, no doubt they're getting caught looking ahead to Saturday

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 7 years ago

I don't see any positives in having to play a close game tonight. All these games so close together we'd be better off being able to rest guys late.

Cant watch the game but anyone know why EC has only taken 3 shots all night? Hurley playing the bench or something?

Again, why Hass would ever guard someone outside the paint makes no sense, man drives by him foul and a trip to the line... smh ...

Brown is pesky. I don't mind being tested going into this weekend, honestly. As long as we pass.

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 7 years ago

Refs continue to be the worst people on the face of the earth.

hrstrat57 · Unread post by **hrstrat57** » 7 years ago

Actually Brown played out of their minds. Plus refs refused to swallow the whistle.

We finally got ball to 0 to take game over....not complicated.

Rivalry grudge game, not surprised.....

Shinze88 · Unread post by **Shinze88** » 7 years ago

Our "elite" defense was not very elite tonight for whatever reason especially in the interior, far to many easy layups. This defensive effort will end up in a double digit loss to Cincy. Perhaps playing the 3rd game in 6 days has something to do with this lackluster effort, but we better bring a different intensity on Saturday or we'll get smoked.

RF1 · Unread post by **RF1** » 7 years ago

I will take the win. This game might help Dan. He now has some stuff to get on the players case about. Should keep the egos in place and emphasis that you can't mail it in and just expect to win. Lucky to survive with such a lackadaisical effort.

Running Ram · Unread post by **Running Ram** » 7 years ago

I feel like Brown always gets up for the in-state match ups.
Refs weren't very good.
Can't get out-rebounded by Cincy and expect the same result.

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 7 years ago

Not much intensity by the looks of it.........won't be a problem this weekend.......rebounding could be a problem though.

bigappleram · Unread post by **bigappleram** » 7 years ago

Way to show up Rhody nation. Have to be happy with the attendance tonight.
The energy didn't help our team, they were sleepwalking on both ends of the floor
Careless passes, stupid fouls, bad rotations on defense, bonehead plays -- Dan said he was looking for a reason to get pissed, well now he has it because an effort like that will guarantee a loss vs Cincy.
That said, all teams have efforts like these in the course of a season. Let's hope its an aberration.

Da_Process_Survivor · Unread post by **Da_Process_Survivor** » 7 years ago

silver lining, they wont be facing their 1st adversity of the year against Cincy...and this gives Hurley a chance to give them a rude awakening

Seawrightspostgame · Unread post by **Seawrightspostgame** » 7 years ago

I wonder if the guards leaking out and the team trying to run sacrifices some rebounding. Maybe they tone that down a notch this weekend and gang rebound.

Our rotations also stress me out. I know Hurley's defense is vaunted and has worked before and works now. But I feel like the heavy rotations get exposed sometimes if the other team makes the pass. You have to agree that there is a pass coming off the ball screen that cripples our defense against good players.

It was like you could see when they finally woke up with about 2:45 left. EC hit a shot, Terrell read a pick and roll pass beautifully and stole the ball, and then EC finished again on the other end with ease. That sequence won the game.

Rhodygirl2 · Unread post by **Rhodygirl2** » 7 years ago

I love hearing the post game press conference because Hurley is not mincing words and calling out the guards for bad defense and getting embarrassed on the rebounding.

Hope we come out Saturday hungry and mad- as if we lost this game because that's what it felt like.

Rhody15 · Unread post by **Rhody15** » 7 years ago

3-0.

Needed a game like this, I was glad we got tested.

We're gonna be in an absolute rock fight Saturday and this game will make the team refocus and get ready for Cincy.

Go Rhody!

Said the same to those sitting around us...can't understand why he picks up fouls outside the paint...no upside there whatsoever....

A terrible performance, but what shocked me the most was they got out hustled and showed low basketball intelligence.

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 7 years ago

They are going to have to play with intensity all the time. What happens on the road without the crowd support.......?????

They can get away with it at home against weaker teams....but

Hey, bud, does this count as 'winning one of the close ones'?

Wow, well that was spot on. At least the first 80% of the post. Hoping the remaining 20% comes true on Saturday.
