It is embarrassing that Davison is getting whatever he wants.

Thatā€™s not really the issue. That wouldnā€™t help us guard off the dribble.

204

Does Juwan Howard have defensive adjustments to make? Or is it just a matter of getting the boys motivated?

205

Well Simpson came to play and no one else did

X making incredible plays versus drop coverage is basically the only positive of that half. Getting shots at the rim versus a D meant to force jumpers

In that lineup with Wisconsin playing without Reuvers or Potter, can counter with Johns at 5

If you told me Zavier Simpson had 18 at half and weā€™d still be down 10 to Wisconsin Iā€™d bet my life you were wrong.

If Coach Howard were a player, we would be saying all the positive rhetoric has gone to his head and he is having a bad nite (with substitutions).

I donā€™t see how that helps. Our problem is containing drives from their guards. Weā€™d still have Livers and Wagner getting toasted and now without a rim protector

Simpson like Lebron with the cavs rn

Simpson and DeJulius need to play the entire second half.

DDJ needs to step-up and earn 15 minutes this half

Probably the most concerning development in the first half: Isaiah Livers does not particularly healthy.

As a principle itā€™s not ideal, but when your two big men are both more athletic than their two smaller guys, they shouldnā€™t be getting taken off the dribble successfully every. single. time.

Livers has looked out of gas all night - looks like heā€™s hit some sort of wall?

Very lucky to be down only 10. Nunezā€™ minutes were brutal and turned the half.

218

He looks terrible. Heā€™s playing on like a quarter of one leg.

Well Johns and Livers canā€™t stay in front of their guards. They donā€™t look more athletic.

Iā€™ve been delighted with the game planning and management lately, but I thought he was asleep at the wheel there, two or three baskets slow with that timeout.

Davis isnā€™t protecting the rim much anyway. Rather see Johns at 5 and see if that can start opening up the three point shot on offense. Defense they have to make due anyway.
