Really dumb foul by Gill there

Gill with his 2nd foul already. Just doesn’t play smart basketball enough.

Miami getting to the rim at will. This is going to be a long day. Down 9 already.

I’ll make the regrettable suggestion that they should play through Rokas. Miami isn’t that big. If he can establish ANYTHING inside, maybe the guards can get some open shots

He’s proven over 10 games to not be capable of that.

Nice effort to close gap of 11 down to 4

For anyone in Philly area using antenna and confused (like me) - go to 17 instead of 57

No shot running the offense through Rokas. Miami is not big but much more athletic than Rokas.
Smart decision going to zone by Dunphy. We cut it to 4 and he goes back to man for some reason. Not sure I like that. We are getting carved up in man to man.

We playing a lot better against Miami in the first half than against Duke.

If we had just 1 halfway decent big man we’d be worlds better.

We are getting buried now after 3 terrible offensive possessions.

Brantley blows a lay up and they let Miami go right to the rim and score.

Being down 12 and not 25 at half is fortunate

Just gotta hope we make all of our 3s and they stop making layups at will! Only chance we win.

Neither team with lots of bench points. 7 for them versus 6 for us. Just getting killed inside today.

Before we run the offense through Rokas he has to prove he can catch a ball…

Brantley missing that layup is something we can't afford against a team like Miami. We need to play near perfect basketball to compete with a team like this. On a positive note did anyone else see the La Salle commercial. Charles Ireland was very good. Hopefully we play better in the 2nd half. Go 'splorers.

We down by 12 against a more athletic team in Miami. We more aggressive on the offensive side of the ball. Brantley and Shepherd playing well today. We need Brickus and Gill in the second half of the game. In my opinion, Jocius is playing scared in the post. Miami is having their way with Jocius in the post. We have to improve on the defensive side of the ball for us to have a good chance of winning. Let go get this win baby.

Jocius made a business decision on that dunk.

As bad as Rokas looks offensively he is worse defensively. He is like a statue defending the paint. We essentially have no one defending the paint and that is why Miami is 19-26 in 2 point shots. Simply can’t win giving up that percentage.

Post by explorers2013 on Dec 16, 2023 13:16:57 GMT -5
He isn’t even attempting to get a rebound either, it’s amazing to watch.

Jocius is so soft when he rebounds. No tenacity. The ball often gets ripped right from his hands.

If we had anything in our frontcourt close to what we have in our backcourt we could be pretty damn good. It is a real shame we haven’t been able to recruit any size.

Cut it to 8, biggest man on the court can’t get another board and fouls. Smh.

Jocius being out muscle in the post.

Post by explorer88 on Dec 16, 2023 13:24:34 GMT -5
At this point just sit Rokas. He is giving up so many points it wouldn’t hurt play Fasasi or Zan. At least they would hustle for the ball.

At least Shepherd at the 5 give us a better chance in the post
