It's hard to beat a team shooting this well.

It is not Marquette, it is our defense.

A defense would help lol

It’s the 2nd game in a row where the opponent has shot lights out. That’s more on the defense. We are very limited at the 4 spot, especially on defense. Teams always shoot better in Maui also

Our D sucks

Too many teams are burning the nets when we play them. Even Samford did.

Wade knows there's a problem, let's see what he does to fix it.

That's kind of my point, I know our defense has been bad, but it's still rare for a college team to shoot that well.

After our first game, this is something Wade was really worried about, our 3 point defense. He said they left too many wide open 3s, and we're lucky they missed them. We've played 2 teams who won't miss as many.

Definitely. We just had Waters 1 on 1 down low with a big man and no one came to help.

It’s our defense but it isn’t all Wade’s fault. Watching the game, it’s apparent we don’t have any above average athletes other than Waters, Sampson and maybe (maybe) Mays. Rachal, for example, can’t dribble well, almost falls down every play, and can’t elevate. All but the 3 I listed are the same. Even Duop, who’s a good player, doesn’t seem uber athletic. Meanwhile, Marquette has 4 dudes out running, jumping and shooting us. We are going to have to either outwork them or get a little break here and there. Oh. And they’re (Marquette) shooting that well because they’re wide open... Wade warned of this prior to the season starting. We can still win this though!

Good teams are going to make a lot of shots when they’re open. Bad defense has been played he last 2 nights

We start playing a little defense and making some shots, now only down 2 at half.

Great de at the end of half too, would have been awesome to tie it up but we still played great the last 8 or so minutes of the 1st half.
