I am appalled at how terrible we are on defense. It is one thing to be out matches physically and just get beat. But we don’t even understand roles, responsibilities, positioning… apparently Eli was holding it all together because this is horrific.
Also bad is our BLOB plays. We can’t even get the ball in let alone run any action!!
We sat and watched a talented team centered around Hunter fail last year because the pieces didn’t fit and then they really went out and got new pieces and they might fit worse. I am sad.
We are one of the least athletic teams in the conference. Beilein showed that can work if you can hit threes and have good spacing. We aren’t hitting threes and I think our ball screen game is broken.
The defense gives up good looks, offensive rebounds and does not force turnovers. When they actually have a good possession someone makes a contested shot. Really tough out there
