    Pitino's Offense

    The offense didn't give up 92 points. A lot of teams have won games scoring 62 points.

    Exactly right ... and if there is no ball movement, 3 likely won't be enough either

    Pitino's Offense

    Your first paragraph makes sense, but I can't see how Gabe is a big reason for Carr throwing up wild shots. Gabe had 3 assists and rarely has the ball in his hands. Carr had 4 assists and dribbled the air out of the ball. Dakich pointed out the lack of ball movement and on the ver next...

    Donation page to buyout Pitino - Fire Him!

    Offense has evolved into "PG tries to score, many times taking bad shots, dribbles the ball flat, passes sometimes, rarely sets up a teammate". Easily called out by the TV crew last night. Defense is "bad" to "very bad" ... many on the team "look the part", but very few are willing to really...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT ILLINOIS BIG TEN OPENER IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Last year and now this year, you've created an identity on offense that has evolved into "PG tries to score, many times taking bad shots, dribbles the ball flat, passes sometimes, rarely sets up a teammate". Easily called out by the TV crew last night. Defense is "bad" to "very bad" ... many on...

    He got his 2 points off a dunk assisted by Gabe.

    When it counts, it doesn't work for Houston!

    This is on Pitino ... our style of play was the same tonight as it was the first 6 ... Agree ... if you said that Gabe would hold Ayo to about 4 points (I believe that's how many he got with Gabe on him) and Gabe would get 9, you'd probably take that.

    It is a read and react offense ... read the pass and react ... PG dribbles and dribbles - everyone stands still. Need to move the ball for anything to open up! Very easy to see this happening if the ball comes down the court and no one makes a pass.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT ILLINOIS BIG TEN OPENER IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Shooting was not the problem ... saw this coming a mile away ... no offensive ball movement for 6 games and this is what it looks like when you play a Big Ten team. Also,some absolutely terrible defense to go with it. Almost no shots taken based upon offensive rhythm. For those who don’t think...

    Gach at Point

    I like the reference to Klay Thompson because when Golden State is playing well he's super fun to watch. The game he had over 40 and had less than 5 dribbles (I can't remember the exact number) was amazing. We're not going to see that with this team. Our offense appears to be no set plays and...

    Gach at Point

    What we're watching this year is not likely to improve his position in eyes of the NBA. He's not a lottery pick and very unlikely he'd be a first round pick. No team is going to take a 2nd rounder and say "don't look to pass, first look to drive, then look to shoot, look to drive again ... ok...

    ***OFFICIAL UMKC AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    He din't appear to struggle with the guards that we're getting to the basket when Jamal, Tre, and Marcus were guarding them. If I remember correctly there was one point in the first half when UMKC got 2 straight layups right after Gabe left the floor. Again, that's the difference between...

    ***OFFICIAL UMKC AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I made an effort to watch the defensive end closely last night as well. As you mentioned, what Gabe does is not "flashy", but he really does a great job staying in front of his man, limiting their scoring chances, and especially working over screens. He's very quick to get through and back on...

    I Got a Feeling - That Today's Gonna Be a Gabe Day

    UMKC #6 Illinois SLU #3 Iowa #4 MSU #13 Wisc #22 OSU at Mich UMKC should be no problem. SLU would have likely beaten all the teams we've played so far. This is a VERY difficult schedule for any team, especially one that doesn't move the ball very well.

    ***OFFICIAL BOSTON COLLEGE AT MINNESOTA BIG TEN/ACC CHALLENGE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Marcus is a high-volume - look to score first at all times PG. That is apparently how Pitino wants to play because it is the clear and obvious pattern in all 5 games this year and essentially how they played last year. Robbins will rarely get touches off the ball screen because because the pass...

    I Got a Feeling - That Today's Gonna Be a Gabe Day

    He took 5 shots ... what are you even evaluating? Have you watched the Big Ten for his year? This team may win only 2-3 games in the Big Ten. Our ball movement would probably be 14th in the league. Klay Thompson would be hard pressed to get 5 shots on this team. Defense has been OK. BUT -...

    ***OFFICIAL LOYOLA MARYMOUNT AT MINNESOTA GAME #1 IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Offense is dribble weave and hand-off until someone takes it one-on-one by driving into the lane. Very few sets to get open looks. Only the guy with the ball in his hands really knows what’s next. Carr has the ball 80% of the time so he has the best chance of hitting a 3 because he knows when...
