@BShark yeah no

@BShark HCBS told him he was too small

@BShark he probably wouldn’t have started out that way, huh?

There is no way Bill and Remy survive a 4 year relationship though.
I’d chip in for group therapy at this point w/e

Go #Belmont

23 more shots, 16 more rebounds and half the turnovers. How are we only up 15???
-
Throw jalen in there and maybe big dave
-
Be interesting to see if Dayton plays half as hard today as they didn’t against us.

They are shooting like Steph this half. From 3… 30% on the year 22% in this yournament, 47% today.
-
Dave looks like his old self at the FT line. Way to go
-
Hands, body control, unnecessary movement/flailing. We know what Dave struggles at, he just doesn’t seem to be able to correct it.
-
ffs
-
It’s a travel if it’s not a jump, dude
-
Rick Pitino is still a douche bag. Shocker
-
Dunk it
-
Yeah Remy can’t defend
-
Iona now 50% (11-22) from 3.
-
Sure Iona
-
Ochai is taller than Dave with their respective hair
-
@approxinfinity maybe dave’s hair is wound too tight
-
@RockChalkinTexas ha good one
-
Better than a loss. I liked KJ today.
-
Decent. Left with a w
-
Nice inside game today. Kept the turnovers to single digits too.
Yesufu making a pretty good argument for more playing time.
-
A win is Good for the plane ride home

I don’t know what you can do about Remy not being good on the defensive end, other than out score teams with him on the floor
-
Who is sticking around for the dayton game??
-
What are we ranked Monday?
-
7th or 8th?
-
Yeah I was assuming 7th, but it was a bad loss and Iona wasn’t a good win (yet) so maybe lower
-
Back to NYC next Friday for St. John’s.
RCJH !
-
Taking a break to start dinner
-
It takes me until January to get over an early season loss. Jeez, a couple more FTs was all it would have taken.
-
Mitch took more shots than Remy.
-
@approxinfinity Iona did beat Alabama
-
@RockChalkinTexas I don’t think they’ll be that happy
-
Coach Self is NOT happy. Talking about how our defense is trash baasically. - He brought up one time where one of the guys flopped acting to ty to get charge - -we ALL know he was talking about there ( Remy ) - -which in turn the guy knocked down the 3. - -Got to get Alot better defensively
-

Purdue will be # 1. - Both UCLA & Gonzaga lost - Purdue was 3rd. I to am thinking probably 7-8 th for us

They was talking about other teams going at Remy - posting him up , not the biggest guard in the world - on top not very good defensively

by not playing any defense

Been impressed/pleased with Christan’s play so far. - -Especially this weekend , more aggressive

I think we settle in that range, end up a 2 or 3 seed for the tournament.

Yeah - they gave up 52 points to Iona in the 2nd half. The Gaels shot something like 60% in the 2nd half. Also got to the FT frequently by attacking the basket.
For the life of me, I can’t figure out why 20 year olds can’t play with intensity for 40 minutes - actually more like 15-30 with the depth on this roster. Huggy can get his guys to do it…

@DCHawker said in Iona Game Thread:

How has that worked out for him in the long run, compared to say, HCBS (whom your comment implies cannot do it)?
-
I’m not sure why people are surprised this team still isn’t that good defensively this season. 4 of 5 starters from last year are back from a bad defensive and Remy Martin who is an average defender on his best day replaced a DPOY in Marcus Garrett.
This isn’t a team that’s going to win many games because of defense this season. This is a team that will have to outscore teams on most nights. This is why Self is trying to get Dave going because we know he can be a reliable scorer and give zero KU a fourth guy capable of getting 15 a night. Self does also need to let Remy be Remy because his scoring and driving ability is what can really open up the offense for everyone else.
-
Agree this will be a below average defensive team all year.
-
Well, a win’s a win I guess. Should have been a 30pt win, but I’ll take it. I’m thinking the weird rotations and floor combinations were to blame today for some of the lapses. I noticed one odd lineup when we lost some ground. Is Self just trying guys out before he gets stingy with minutes? On the surface, I’m not minding any of the guys on the floor, but maybe not have wholesale changes at once? I dunno. (I still love KJ!)

In no way am I implying that Huggins is a better coach than Self. The records speak for themselves. Just that some on the thread have passed off the defensive lapses and letting lesser teams stay close in games that should be easy wins by saying that it is too difficult to maintain intensity for the entire games. If you have a very short bench and guys have to play 35 minutes or more, then you would expect some pacing. But, if you have a deep bench and trust those guys to perform for 10-15 minutes, then the starters should be able to go hard for 25-30 and not take plays off. That’s all…
-
The defense is bad right now. But Self went on to blame himself for messing around with lineups and creating out of rhythm situations. Still its totally an effort thing as a group.
-
Self mentioned post game he needs to do a better job subbing and I think we could all agree that the lineups have lacked rhyme or reason. We all want to see the newcomers but it seems clear certain guys have to be on the floor a majority of the time.
