Well they do a few things well, is it gonna be enough? I dunno, time will tell. We get to the free throw strike really well, which is huge when you have bad shooting nights like tonight. They have played way better the second half after two meh first halves this week.

What worries me is without our pg in the game we look lost. We are still letting teams kill is on the offensive glass. Now, grant it, we improved in the second half, but when we are gonna play a team neither a pulse and we have bad first half’s like that, they are not gonna let us back up regardless how well we play the second half. I also think we are gonna have to find a way to get Reed or Williams in the starting lineup and tamba off the bench, it’s not showing up yet but we are gonna need the size in sec play.i like tamba a lot but something tells me we gonna have to play bigger sooner or later. But the biggest thing so far is, we gotta bring the same intensity to both halfs. Good win, glad we pulled away, keep trying to improve game by game and let’s hope for the best.

To me this is what coaches call a lack of comcentration and focus, simply making silly mistakes like giving up almost 10 offensive rebounds and not boxing out. I’d hope Coach chews some arse out at halftime. The effort of defense and the boards is unacceptable. I can live with a bad shooting night, but not a bad effort night.

I wouldn’t worry about Florida, they get better and better as the season goes on and last year peaked at the right time. They gonna be fine

Ya the size of Purdue is definitley an advantage, and they are good at getting the mismatch near the rim. Plus they shoot the ball at a high level. But the scrappy bama defense and high shooting volume of bama is also elite, these two teams may see each other again come March. Fun to watch

After your first loss, how he speaks, who he throws under the buss, and what the plan is moving forward

It’s kinda a two part thing to me. After the loss. What adjustments and changes were made to correct the problem as well. Does he adjust?

Agreed, and anyone whose ever played basketball knows when your not shooting great, get to the foul line.

I’m fairly happy with the game. I stated in the early thread any team who’s serious about making the tourney should win by 15+. Gotta great games like this as a buisness trip and step on their throats, this was a very positive step for us.

Reed hook over the defender! Thx u! When he goes over defenders rather than under them he’s a much better player

I’m 100percent expecting us to coast in this game and win by 15+. If we are really serious about making the tourney this year our expectations against this low tier team should be anything less than a 15+ point win is not acceptable.. we have superior players, go out and handle buisness.

Also, after the game our discussion should be about these things:

1. Turnover
2. Opponents offensive rebound
3. Transition defense
4. Minute rotation
5. Pick and roll defense

The things that have trended each season and have been McMahon Achilles heel.Hipefully we see some signs in improvement in those areas.

What concerns me is 7-10 days is equal to 65-70 pints of Ben and Jerry’s on a Zion diet…
