I realize that Dowtin being out of the lineup was unexpected and required the team to play with only 1 true ball handler, but most of my issues have nothing to do with Dowtin not being on the court, a player who most on this board would agree has under-performed this year. I'll start with Jermaine, I've tried my best to give him the benefit of the doubt in his 1.5 years here, but if he cant dominate against a depleted and undersized St Joe's front-court, then who is he going to dominate against? I guess when you're a 4-star recruit that unfairly comes with higher expectations, he's a role player at best on this team with limited upside. Next Tyrese, you see him play against VCU and think what kind of player he could be and then we get a performance like tonight which is more the norm, bad shot selection, allowing his man to beat him for backdoor layups 3x, and playing with little energy or emotion. Cyril has been in a funk lately with his offense but the guy just brings it every single game and his leadership is evident on the floor, limited offensively especially when he puts the ball on the floor. Biggest disappointment for me was the way Cox coached tonight, not sure what his plan was after he found out Jeff would be out, but if the plan was to hoist terrible shots from the perimeter and not post anyone at the foul line vs a team who play ZONE ALL game, then his plan worked perfect. Trip after trip we took poor shots and rarely tried to get anything to the basket in the half court offense. The team played with little energy and seem unmotivated at times, very similar to the Brown game. He allowed the only player on their team (Daly) who can score to continually drive to the basket at will, never went to a zone vs a team who is actually a worse shooting team than us, it just made no sense to not zone this team, especially when we got into foul trouble. At one point I saw Cyril guarding him out on the 3 point line, i mean how does that happen? The game was just brutal to watch, we didnt hit our first 3 pointer until 9:23 remaining in the game and at the 7:56 mark we actually had a 3 on 1 fast break and missed 3 layups, with a chance to stretch the lead to 8, I'm not even sure how thats possible. Not sure of anything positive to take from this game and St Joe's has to be the worst D1 team i've seen in years, how on earth did they beat UConn.. rant over.. onto LaSalle.
did you watch the game? at one point you saw cyril guarding daly at the 3 pt line? he guarded him the whole fucking second half and did a great job. that was probably the biggest coaching move of the game!Shinze88 wrote: ↑4 years ago Sorry but this game felt like a loss to me.

i watched the game and most of your post is garbage. do you really think cox's plan was to have the team hoist terrible shots? st. joe's played man to man most of the game and sprinkled in a few zones. the team played with great energy in the 2nd half. and cyril didn't guard daly once. he guarded him the whole second half and did a great job. not sure of anything positive to take? how about outscoring the other team by 16 points in the second half on the road?Shinze88 wrote: ↑4 years agoreally ? which part do you need me to explain to you in more detail?

I have a feeling their day in court will come.Running Ram wrote: ↑4 years ago Yeah man, the NCAA needs to be taken to court for some of these random decisions, like it or not CBB is a business and every team is a franchise, teams need to start qualifying and quantifying their losses when the NCAA rules without standard or consistency and sue this corrupt cartel, they're nearly untouchable, even the FBI can't take them down.
Shinze, without Jeff we needed to win this game on the defensive end which is what we did with our performance on that end of court in 2nd half. We needed to force turnovers, get some transition buckets and find offense unconventionally. You can't do that sitting in a zone. Everyone thinks of zone as an elixir, if you don't practice it often then it can be an easy way to keep an inferior team in the game. Maybe they shot so poorly bc we contested shots and flew at their shooters. Our issue in the first half was lack of defensive intensity and focus, getting beat on back door courts, losing sight of man and ball, and taking chances we didn't need to be taking. Cox tightened that up in 2nd half and we turned a 10 pt deficit into a 10 pt win. Vegas only had us pegged as 8 point favorites with Jeff, so to cover the spread without a very critical piece of our team was a good turnaround after a dismal first half.Shinze88 wrote: ↑4 years ago Sorry but this game felt like a loss to me.

bigappleram wrote: ↑4 years ago Cyril was playing Daly at times due to switches on ball screens. That is the luxury with Cyril he can switch a ball screen and has the foot speed to stay with guards and wing players. He is an elite defender. But for the most part Tyrese, Mekkhi and Jacob matched up with Daly. Against a team like them we were able to switch all ball screens so that is why at times Cyril and even Antwan were on Daly.
In retrospect, assuming Jeff really needed to sit a game then the NCAA did us a favor by having it be tonight against Joe. Of course I wasn’t saying that about 30 minutes into the game, but that’s the way it worked out.Da_Process_Survivor wrote: ↑4 years ago Considering they got told right before game time the NCAA decided to give them the shaft this is a great gut check win and fuck the NCAA.
