We haven't looked very good the last couple of games but that doesn't mean the season is over. We've lost several key players and the team and strategy need to be adjusted. What I hope to see and some comments:
1. Rodney needs to be more aggressive. He actually started to be more aggressive on offense in the last 3 minutes of the game and should do this all of the time. He should have some easy drives and/or get free throws - especially against the weaker teams.
2. Trevor has been a non-factor the last two games. What is going on with him? We NEED his rebounding and scoring.
3. All of the big guys need to be more aggressive down low. OSU matches up pretty well, but our bigs should all be scoring in the paint against the smaller teams.
4. Chip is a spark off the bench, he needs to play more. Hollins is also doing pretty well. Not sure of this but if Chip could play PG to put Hoff back at SG, Hollins can sub in for Williams.
5. Iverson does get some ridiculous calls against him.
6. This is not why we lost the game, but I swear the visiting teams fare better from the referees than we do as the home team. Sullinger's elbows were flying. I never see any over the back calls anymore, why is that?
7. Hoff is a true leader and most reliable player on the team.
8. Our defense was pretty good today. Not great, but not the reason for the loss.
I'm frustrated but trust in Tubby and the team. Go Gophers!
