Doubt the players would even care if they saw it. They don’t care on the court why should they care off it?
That's their Job and our Job as fans is to support the kids. There is enough people who will critique the players so let's find our spirit as fans and stick with the kids...don't you think 🤔😉
Our job as fans watching on TV is tradeour viewership in exchange for entertainment.
PSU does not have better athletes than us. Myles and Cliff should not be getting destroyed on the boards by John ****ing Harrar and Seth Lundy.
Indiana defends the way we used to. No chance we get to 60 against them. I see 67-52.
This. I said it in another thread. It’s all about effort. We saw their best effort for eight and a half minutes of a forty minute game. Not boxing out, shooting contested jumpers over running a play, lazy passes, not closing out on shooters. All effort. You suck at FTs? Stay late after practice and make an effort to correct that issue. Pike has to do a better job of motivating them from the start, but there’s also only so much he can do. They have to play like they want it. The last few games it’s looked like they don’t want to be out there.
It’s doesn’t take confidence to box out and grab a rebound. They should’ve killed Penn State on the boards. Instead, it was the other way around. That’s effort.
Exactly. Rebounding is all about heart and position. If you want the ball more than the other team, you'll get it.
Overthinking makes sense, not sure if Pike is being too hard or not hard enough, or a little of both depending on who you talk to. To be a fly on the wall in their locker room to know what's really going on and how we could help as fans. I just don't get how a team goes from 20-11 and rolling at the end of 2019-20 season is. I don't think its losing Yeboah(3rd, 9.8pts, 4.8 reb) or Shaq Carter(9th, 3.6pts, 2.5reb) thing because they wouldnt have played so well in the first 5 games. Neither showed they were leaders on the court, just role players.
Can you elaborate on how our decisions with the ball are pathetic? Did you happen to mean shot selection?
Have you watched? Lobbing the ball up into traffic, turning it over at inopportune times, taking terrible contested shots in the paint while double teamed, forcing bad shots with plenty of time left on the shot clock.
It was serious. We have the 13th best turnover percentage in the country. You quoted me before i added if you meant shot selection fyi
Is that a differential based number? Bc we get alot of turnovers too, but haven't capitalized much. If not, I'm sure it's a falling rank...we built up some solid stats the first bunch of games...and it still doesn't change the terrible lobs, and terrible shot selection,
It's turnovers per 100 possessions. Not related to defense. 12.9% TOV%.
Shot selection has been a big problem i'm not that confident it gets totally fixed
Agreed. Esp because it seems like a recurring problem, possibly covered up early this year by guys getting hot.
