Basketball team was tough to watch today. I know it’s easy to get real frustrated with all the new high expectations from this team. You can see some of my posts and see how bothered I was today. I will say this maybe our expectations are all a little high considering what we have on this team. We have proven we can win against some really good teams and in basketball so many good teams lose to bad teams too. I do think we can still do what we did last year, but only worries is that this team just doesn’t have the ability to play defense like the previous team. Also hear me out on this, but just look at our team.
JQ - didn’t get minutes with previous team and expectations of him are high. He’s good, but makes some horrible decisions when it matters.
Gurley - probably a better small school player
JD - expectations alway too high for Alabama HS kid . Has a ton of talent, but doesn’t normally transfer in college. If he stuck around believe he would get better
Bediako - freshman who will get better but def plays like a frehman
Miles - would not get minutes on many power 5 schools, but realize we need him. He just shouldn’t play as much as he does.
Gary - his skills are limited and is still raw, but wouldn’t be bad coming off the bench for a good team like last year.
Shack - love this guy, but needs to be. 2nd or 3rd main guy in a good team. Has gotten better on defense I think.
Ellis - way too streaky. Was hoping like everyone else that he would be a Herb with offense. He’s not. His offense is inconsistent and his defense is no where close to Herb, but whose really is.
Again we are a good team, but when we look bad we are bad. This team hasn’t hit many threes this year and when you don’t have the defense you had last year that can catch up with this type of play. It seems that we need to recruit some “beefy” big guys that can rebound to help. I love our program and where we are and think we will continue to be in the tournament. Hope we can all remember where we were and where we are now. It will continue to get better.
Oh and do wish coach would call timeouts when teams get on a hot streak, but guess he knows what he’s doing. Haha
