*** Boogs v Temple ***

We’re not playing great, but damn these fouls are ridiculous, almost makes the game unwatchable.
 
Defense is still not where it needs to be. Too many open looks while we were trying to make this comeback.

Sorry gang, but Bruce just doesn’t know how to coach, and has no one on the bench that can either. It’s not a talent problem.

I don’t feel the defensive performance was bad, you just couldn’t expect both teams to continue to shoot as poorly as they did in the first half.

Shooting 37% from the field and 25% from 3 and it’s a coaching problem?

In that wired clip BRUCE implored our youngsters to take away the 3. Didn’t listen in the 2nd half. Win some lose some but that’s one you’d like to have for a TORNEY resume.

yep... said when they make 9 three’s they win... they had 6 in the second half, most of them in the last 8 minutes, and finished 10-26
 
shot like garbage and beat the crap out of a decent/good team

6-20 from 3
Brown 0-7 from 3, still scored 15
Heron 3-12 from the field
Harper 3-10 from the field

if you told me our guards shoot that poorly I’d have been very concerned, but we just big boy’d them for 40 minutes

same story as yesterday...

8-33 from 3
Brown 3-11 from 3
Heron 3-13, 1-7 from 3
Harper 3-12, 1-6 from 3

we shot the ball even worse than yesterday, but played a better team... disappointing, but not really concerning... not a good loss, but not a killer - and hopefully not a bad loss

I’m not a Bruce basher but you make it seem like good offense that leads to high percentage shots can’t be coached. When your style lends itself to jacking up 33 3’s, you’ll have some 25% days. I don’t love his offensive or defensive philosophy. I just love him.
 
I think our bigs were good enough today. Guards were awful. DP there and playing any D would’ve been nice. Of course that’s a coin flip at best
.
Mac’s stat line is kind of deceptive. It’s all put backs, dunks, and 1 three. Guards were forced to shoot so much bc neither he or Horace have great interior offensive skills. If we had Wiley, they’d have able to throw it inside more instead of jacking up countless threes and hoping Mac and Desean gets rebounds and put backs

Absolutely can’t argue about HS and Macs skill sets. I just didn’t see is do that near enough with Wiley last season so I’m skeptical we would have today.

Lets be real gang, this loss is squarely on the rotten criminal Chuck Person. I'd still like to see BRUCE squeeze some better D out of these youngsters. At least they are rebounding. Not hard to lose ball games when you aren't hitting shots. Doesn't mean someone is a bad coach or the kids aren't trying.
