Depaul game thread 2/5/22

Kunkle is getting burnt on defense this is pathetic.

Could someone please hit a shot and rebound. Depaul 50% X 28% kunkel 0-4. Colby pass up open looks

Continued poor pg play by Scruggs, and the interior D has been horrific, with DePaul's best player out again. Stub's employing the same game plan, and once again, it is working. Out of a T.O., down 13, Steele draws up a play for Free-bluiett. He has played a poor game both O and D, but Steele must geta bonus for the amount of minutes he plays.

No change in D and DePaul is still scoring at will. Ooops, I forgot. Halftime scores don't mean anything. Looks like an AAU game. Crowd is booing. Steele keeps looking at the bench to see who is cheering the most. Damn he is impressive!

Freemantles game is killing us today and he stays in

Zach is 1-9 and looking like he has no confidence in his shot. Finally, Paul with a three. X has changed m2m to zone which has helped but not scoring is the problem.

These slow starts are mind boggling. Too veteran of a team to continue to start slow especially at home. Travis didn't have them ready. Johnson is not even close on his shots.

5th year Seniors have not shown up yet...did someone oversleep? 29% shooting at home is crazy 24-15

did someone oversleep?

Yes. Hint? He likes clichés and loathes adjustments. He also think Free-Bluiett is the 2nd coming of Anthony Davis.

Matchup of two possessions? Mman, can you whisper to him at halftime that there is a funky new zone with a 1-3-1- configuration? Update: He listened! Growth!!

Only down by 7 at the half. I'd hate to be the clipboard at halftime. I don't think Steele is going to play Hangman as usual. He is going to tell Free-Bluiett that if he continues to play poorly, his PT will go down from 38 minutes, to 37:25. 80's Hoosier fans like X b/c they see a young B Knight at the wheel.

While Nate has had one good game the bad scoring games are mounting up and his confidence must be at an all-time low. Adam tried to make up for it but he appears overwhelmed by Depaul's length and quickness. Zach missing bunnies again has to stop, he had a smaller guard on his last miss and he has to be stronger with the ball.. He has 9 attempts and has to make more than 1. The D has been okay but Depaul's last score show that they are not comucating well as they had Depaul bottled up and everyone shrank away and curly was able to make a jumper

Mentally and physically not ready to play D-1 basketball????? What ever their seed , the other team will eat them for lunch playing like they are .

[Anti-Homer]

Steele needs to treat Odom like Free-Bluiett in the 2nd half. Ball movement is poor, and Odom is the only PG on the team who looks for others rather than his own shot, has a very solid handle and a high IQ. Currently 1-1, 3A/0 TO. The bigs are getting abused on the interior, but I suspect Miles' 2 month bout with pneumonia persists. Steele said how great Edwards has been playing, and that he is the most physical guy on the team. It's like the kiss of death when he praises players. Akin to an NFL owner saying a coach is safe after a six game losing streak, then gets fired 48 hours later. I was going to watch the NY Gauchos online later, but am seeing it at Cintas now.

2nd half starting lineup should be:

Odom, Kunkel. Jones, Hunter, Nunge.
