refs are touchy....maybe Flagg will sit with 3 and we can see what our team looks without him out there...im curious
Getting beat on defenseI am here with you on Kon. He’s a good player. But he’s not hitting shots, not assisting like he did against Kansas and is barely moving on offense .
Could be because he’s being told to rebound and kick out instead of go up . He doesn’t seem different to me just seems like he’s getting pulled quicker for Brown . His hand could be bothering him as well .Is Mal injured? He doesn't seem like the same guy. I know his hand was injured.
I am here with you on Kon. He’s a good player. But he’s not hitting shots, not assisting like he did against Kansas and is barely moving on offense .Usual issues - slow start against a team that gets hot from 3....maybe guard the 3 closer. Too much iso on the other end and not enough presence inside. Road games were tough last year too...even against a weak ACC looks like they will be battles. Kon once again very quiet offensively...he needs to get 10-15 a game to justify the mins.
Duke does not look inside and the five out is not working . Especially with missing so many three’s.Can we get one post up? Don’t care who it is!
No body on this team can get it to the right spot. If that was the case Mal would have way more than one lob pass . Especially with Louisville’s one big in foul trouble .Proctor came down several times as lead guard and was very loose with the ball and getting it to the right spots.
End of half situations still a disaster for the most part. Iso which ends up being a huge nothing burger. 4 straight possessions to shrink the lead or go ahead and nope. Still only down 4, but they need to reset mentally at half, to be sure.Wtf kind of possession was that?
