Fuchs shouldn’t play a minute unless Weston is crippled or fouls out.

Wouldn’t hate seeing more Estevez either.

Bilau and Weston bright spots, everyone else looks dead

The double big experiment needs to die tonight. It hasn’t worked for a single minute vs equal or better competition

Feeling very similar to the NW and WSU games. I had this one as a loss just like those, but I never expected to barely even look competitive. Hope we have some answers in the second half...

KingstonLane · Unread post by **KingstonLane** » 5 months ago

Were actually playing okay, and you can see the potential if you look hard enough

That being said, letting the other team shoot 65%, and turning the ball over 8 times in the half will make life very difficult for yourself

Backroads · Unread post by **Backroads** » 5 months ago

Weston gets hurt and calls for a sub at the end of the half and we don’t call a timeout to either sub him out or draw up a play?

We are not just not a very good team, everything is a struggle and for some reason we are settling for 3's when clearly we have an advantage underneath.
The interest in defense looks fine. It just looks like they’re confused at the speed of ball movement and cuts. Running around with our heads cut off to try and keep up

We absolutely DO NOT have the advantage underneath. Takes 7ft big man is eating our lunch

Well, we scored our first 3 baskets fairly easy in the paint and then started jacking 3's so I'd say we have an advantage when we have the ball. We went away from that for some reason and let Yale score at will. Not going to catch up on a team as disciplined as Yale.

Yale offensive sets are smooth and quick. Pack line ain’t packin’

Wolf is the real deal. Solid pro career if he wants it lies ahead.

Is someone else impersonating House ?

rhodysurf · Unread post by **rhodysurf** » 5 months ago

Also house’ confidence is fucking shot

steveystuds06 · Unread post by **steveystuds06** » 5 months ago

I just don't understand how a head coach doesn't see how badly these two big lineups have been? It’s been three straight games…. If he comes out with the same starting lineup I’m going to start to have my first doubts about Archie.

So you’re thinking we may get 2K, but also maybe 6K?

???
It's pretty clear Reef meant hundred and not thousand
Just a simple typo
I thought he was being facetious. I thought it was funny.

Reef! Come back and give us the verdict.

Yup Ramster was correct typo !!

jcru · Unread post by **jcru** » 5 months ago

The problem I have with a "Man D, and only Man D" strategy is:

1. If it's not working, there is no alternative to fall back on. You can't try anything else, because you don't even practice anything else
2. If it's not working, you really aren't covering the outside or the inside. At least with a decent zone you can make in inside no man's land and dare the other team to beat you by shooting. Or you can switch it up and go back to Man if they are just shooting the lights out.

and finally, 3. if you are behind like this, Man D can be a real drain on your guys and the reason why they look dead and lifeless on the other end of the court on offense

Yup, but let’s just have Cam ride the bench after he hits a 3. House has 3 pts in 16 minutes. Cam has 3 pts in 4 minutes…

Bilau is the only big that knows how to play basketball

Hes not scoring, but he is playing smart. We are in desperate need of smart.

What does Foumena have to do to actually earn some minutes? How do you expect Foumena and Cam to get in any type of rhythm if you played them in small spurts? Fuchs and Brown do not deserve all these minutes over Foumena.

Archie says all the right things before and after games but it means jack shit if you get out coached against every tough team…

Foo’sreaction to loose balls and defense in general was bad. Brown betr against Wolf.

Has anyone seen a hard found by Rhody? Come on guys, make them pay on shots near the basket. W

Oh c'mon, not even close. Mac Jones was done about a month and a half ago

steveystuds06 · Unread post by **steveystuds06** » 5 months ago

Good he came out with a new lineup.,,

jcru · Unread post by **jcru** » 5 months ago

Weston is looking like the Weston we recruited

Yeah, looks like we are going to at least try and mount a comeback

jcru · Unread post by **jcru** » 5 months ago

Keep Tyson Brown in, don't pull him because of one foul.

Not even two fouls

Yup Brown has been the best defensive big this season I’ve said that a few times. But it doesn’t make sense that Fuchs has such a long leash the last few games but Fou immediately sits. Maybe that changes now that Fuchs was benched to start the second half

Weston has all the tools to be special.

I love Brown diving for the ball

jcru · Unread post by **jcru** » 5 months ago

Tyson Brown, for at least three mins of his career, is looking like the Tyson Brown we recruited

jcru · Unread post by **jcru** » 5 months ago

Just keep this lineup in for 35 mins a game going forward

Holy shit, was that Brandon Weston announcement by York bad!

Zek and Weston. That's the answer right now.

Jdrums#3 · Unread post by **Jdrums#3** » 5 months ago

Very proud of the guys to see them climb back in this game.

Let’s goooooooooooo

jcru · Unread post by **jcru** » 5 months ago

They took out Weston and put in Bilau.

tinker, tinker

jcru · Unread post by **jcru** » 5 months ago

Noice!

jcru · Unread post by **jcru** » 5 months ago

bilau

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 5 months ago

Bilau! Silky smooth move right there!!

jcru · Unread post by **jcru** » 5 months ago

Wow, that visitor's side basket has a curse on it.

Sucked for us in the 1st half.

Great for us in the 2nd half.

SandorClegane · Unread post by **SandorClegane** » 5 months ago

Bilau providing some much needed energy
Need to stabilize the D.

jcru · Unread post by **jcru** » 5 months ago

2 pt game

steveystuds06 · Unread post by **steveystuds06** » 5 months ago

Lets go!!!!!!!!! Bilau!! Brown locking dudes. Bilau is a much better weapon on offense for us than the other bigs

jcru · Unread post by **jcru** » 5 months ago

crashing the boards! nice!

Jdrums#3 · Unread post by **Jdrums#3** » 5 months ago

This has turned into a good game. The teams are battling.

SandorClegane · Unread post by **SandorClegane** » 5 months ago

Not sure I understand the Fuchs for Bilau sub. We were getting some momentum.

At least we finally got a call down low. Really letting them bang in the paint.

KingstonLane · Unread post by **KingstonLane** » 5 months ago

Fuchs subs in. Proceeds to miss 2 layups

rhodysurf · Unread post by **rhodysurf** » 5 months ago

Ok I’ve seen enough fuchs

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 5 months ago

Now THIS is much more like it!

Jdrums#3 · Unread post by **Jdrums#3** » 5 months ago

If we can keep a lid on Mbeng and wolf, we can win this game.

steveystuds06 · Unread post by **steveystuds06** » 5 months ago

Weston!!!!!

jcru · Unread post by **jcru** » 5 months ago

and that's the way Fuchs should be used... as a reserve off the bench.

Jdrums#3 · Unread post by **Jdrums#3** » 5 months ago

4-9 from the line. What the frig!
