ND had 0 shot blockers. They did manage to block 1 shot last night. With no lack of interior presence to concern us, it was baffling to see us hoist so many bad shots instead of pounding it to Harrell.
They are a very poor defensive team and it was disappointing watching our guys fail to move the ball around and work it to Harrell consistently at the high and/or low post.
That was a game Harrell could have pushed for 30 pts/15 rebound type of performance but we did not do a good job of feeding him.
Rozier is really struggling. I don't know if it is more about defenses keying on stopping him or what it is exactly. He's got to be smart enough to know he can't dribble around the perimeter trying to beat two to three guys at a time, but he's really fallen into that. The result has been low % jumpers or a turnover that leads to an easy basket for the opposition. To me this is the biggest problem I see offensively right now. I don't mind him using his quickness to draw defenses but when he does that he's got to find Snider or Blackshear for 3, or get it to Harrell down low.
