re: The Real Reason for BBall Shortcomings

The Real Reason is Help Defense. Last year our guards were allowed to let in dribble penetration because they knew they had a shot blocker, Jordan Mickey, there to impact the shot. This year we allow way too much dribble penetration and are horrendous at help defense. Victor nor Simmons take pride in their help defense and clearly don't want to pick up fouls in quick-whistle college basketball times...Frankly, I don't blame them either because some of the fouls called are just terrible

Some nights, as someone already said, the offense just won't be clicking...Look at Bama's last 6 games as a perfect example . Yet, they are winning because of defense
