Our half court “offense” is just abysmal, we either don’t have the players or coaching or maybe both. Watch Davidson in the half court, everybody is moving with a purpose and they get good shots at the basket, this was never a strength of Hurley either

Another great play by Tate. Got the pass from Dowtin and no standing around, he attacked the hoop right away and when they came at him he found a wide open Cyril for a dunk.

Rams adjust and sandwich two high low buckets between a three and cut the lead to 5 on a 7-0 run.

Would like to see them continue moving the ball inside big to big as it continues to show results.

He has shown huge improvement on defense as well. Would like to see a lot more minutes for him.

Silviero and Preston cannot both be in the floor at the same time. Recipe for disaster, neither are noted for their ability to rotate on defense. Will result in a lot of layups.

He is shooting 3’s because his Head Coach allows him too.
Absolutely NO ramifications on Thompson. None. Ever.
His 3’s are not even close, big surprise.
Tate, Harris, Preston and Silverio are all better than Thompson.

Why is it ok for Thompson to take a three. He is horrible. Rhody is now 1-10 from three (box score missed the Harris 3 that hit the side of the backboard). Why can’t Cox instill offensive discipline in these players? Tell them no more threes.

In this game, Dowtin has made 1 three, JH missed one, CT and Fatts have missed about 5 each.

And now Preston just aired one out.

I’m really starting to lose faith with Harris...it’s just unreal that he is giving us nothing at this point in the season. I do blame our coaches a lot for the lack of development. I know he’s just a freshman etc...but how can he Mr Basketball out of high school and can’t contribute on a limited team? I do think he should play more only because how else is he going to gain confidence and improve. It’s clear Cox has lost confidence in him as he continues to limit his minutes. It’s a problem.

Agree! Rhody is taking care of the ball, playing good D and CL nearly has a double double. They just need to shoot less 3s.

Recruitment sticky note

We need a pure shooter that can shoot off screens and dribble handoffs

We need another Four McGlynn

That is all.

Cox was screaming at them during one of the timeouts before they got it close. He was as mad as I,'ve ever seen him.

This is not new. This has been all year long.
Why anyone would continue to defend his play is beyond me, including the coaching staff.

Have seen a lot of good things in the first half, minus shooting. At 50% shooting we have a pretty significant lead.

Tate has earned a lot more minutes. His and CT’s roles should be swapped and soon - Tate shows much more potential overall as a freshmen AND appears willing to play a utility player role which is huge.
