We got off to a rough start, but seem to be figuring stuff out.

This is a very physical team we are playing.  It is going to be rough to match up with them.

[ADLER]

Ruben picks up 2nd foul early. Down 10-4

The nation has been waiting for this Ross Hodge vs Rick Pitino showdown.

The nation? Nay!  
 

THE UNIVERSE!

[Travis]

Buggs hasn’t been much help three games in. 

[rojomojo]

Yeah so guys... This is what I meant

[Big Z]

Is Stone afraid of shooting the ball? What's the point of a pump fake and pass every single time?

The Red Storm cutting up our defense.

[eagle73]

We complain when Stone shots and complain when he doesnt.   Amazing.

They settled down on defense now. But on offense they need to create and win some one-on-ones. Nothing falling from within the lane

Our D stepping up.  Offense struggling.

[rojomojo]

Yeah guys so remember saying Hodge was a defensive coach? Well last year UNT really was carried by only 2 or 3 key pieces, everyone else contributed to the defensive side of the ball, but not the offensive.

 

Hodge knows nothing of offense

We are still in the infant stage of the Hodge era.

• What have we done thus far that you are really liking?
• Do you have a new favorite player?
• What is something that you would like to see improve?
• Is there a possibility that excites you?
• Is there something that has you worried?

 

1.  Hired Hodge and held on to our core players.  I like the quicker tempo on the offensive end, and Aaron's development on the offensive end.

2.  Scott.  Well, he's always been a favorite.

3.  Rubin being a little more in control on the dribble.  The development of some of our bench players, Stone's shot, Moore earning some playing time, Morgan to develop into a D1 player and Sissoko to continue his rise.

4. This team excites me and has the potential to be better than last year's squad.

5.  Dixon not filling Perry's spot.  Also, who do we go to and the end of tight games since Perry left?  Someone needs to step up.

Game getting away from us.  Need to figure out how to score.

Too many people out there groan for Stone. 
 

thank you, I’ll show myself out.  

[emmitt01]

I just came here for the wild ass overreactions.  
 

[Matt from A700]

Feel like we're gonna need a Wisconsin-esque defensive performance in the second half to pull off this dub.

[CMJ]

SJU 30 ----- NT 20

 

Halftime

 

I like the way our defense played overall, but we are really struggling to put the ball in the basket ourselves.  Going to have to figure out how to get some open looks.

Go find a parking lot to debate.

[Green Otaku]

Really just need to make the buckets on offense. The shots and chances are there, they just look nervous. St. John's is very physical and talented, but to defense has been settling in.

also feel (not looking at a stat sheet here), that they are killing us for boards.
