We went inside a lot when we went on the run. Sion was getting it in the paint
Right now, he's probably still taken high on potential. I do believe he will break out this year, though.Any chance Mal is a 2 year guy like Mark? Long year and all, but he's going to start sliding unless his play picks up. He has upside of course but he seems a step slow right now.
Agree with this it puts pressure on defense. We don't want bad shooters putting up shots but I want Kon, Proctor and Evans letting it goI am okay with Kon tonight. Yes, he missed a ton but hit two big shots from 3. But that's what I want from our "shooters." That's what I want from Evans. You in the game, you get an open look like that, let it go. HAVE to get your shooters attempts.
I think their defense was key.Brown and Sions performance won Duke the game .
Our defense in the second half won us this game.
You answered your own question. Duke playing five out doesn’t suit Mals size and not looking for him down low or on the lob . Kinda hard to guard down low when opposing teams don’t have a true center . You’re starting to see the same effect with Kansas and Hunter . Someone you think should be easily averaging 15 and ten isn’t .Ugly win and still found way to cover thanks to a couple timely three's by Kon and Brown and James playing like animals.
I know Mal is a project but geez for someone 7'2 he disappears. Is it our players aren't looking for him? Or our system doesn't benefit his style?
Hopefully we have an easy game on Tuesday because that's a quick turn around.

Definitely Grant Hill. Sadly, we won't get to see him run the PG his soph year 🤣😄Blasphemy I know but I believe Flagg is a Grant Hill type talent. I LOVE the kid's game. He does IT ALL.
Exactly..........The slight difference being we won't have a senior Cooper.
Jon put together a much improved plan 2nd half. As always, Brown was the X factor.Showed grit and played a damn good 2nd half.

10Brown with 9 rebounds and some great D.
Where did his double double come from? lollol Flagg is an animal
