Title: Shame to waste a 40 point effort by DK
Post by: Black Diamond Vol on March 10, 2024, 12:31:09 EST
They didn?t start defending until it was too late.

But if this knocks us off that 1 line and out of the LA Regional, I?m okay with it.

Had a feeling this would happen today.  They fought hard till the end but felt like we partied hard on Thursday and kinda ran out of gas at the end of this gauntlet.  Oh well.  Onward!

Barnes post game said we were way too emotional coming out of the gate and it effected us the first half.....He said DK is a scorer and thinks every shot he takes he will make....but DK needs to help his teammates and dish it off more. There was times he had teammates that could have gotten some easy baskets but he didn't dish it off to them. Said DK needs to get better at that.

WOULD they have gotten those easy baskets, though? Or even taken the shots? All those blocks seemed to spook them in the paint, especially in the first half. Numerous times, our frontline guys could?ve gone up strong and at least drawn a foul, but instead they?d kick it back out.

It appears to me that most of the time SV and JJJ are looking to score as a last resort only. ZZ and Aidoo will look to score, and Gainey will take a shot if he has one, but just about everyone else seems to be on offense only to facilitate others.

I think UK got away with a few fouls inside also.  For the second consecutive game, they were letting them play.

I was happy to see the team storm back, hate that they came up short.
