Terrible Defense

[Knucklehank1]

I thought these guys would play hard for Payne (and some of them do). But dang too many are going thru the motions on defense. Have some heart.

Just a disastrous way to lose.

Agree. So many examples, but none better than the very last play. On that last shot, BHH cannot leave his feet until the much smaller Wright State shooter leaves his. He was fooled by the pump fake, and because of that he could not close out on the shooter.

Yet again today, I see improvement from the previous game. Hopefully we improve yet again and get the win against App State.

The thing I don’t get and worries me about the coaching is their length is worthless if they play defense with their hands down.

Worst part imo is just the mental lapses, no communication, and effort. So many plays in transition we had no one running back, stopping ball, everybody lost trying to matchup. Then at the end of the game getting back doored and dunked on…

Yeah everyone, except James on that block, just casually jogging back with the other team in transition is pure laziness.

Would love to see more overall effort and hustle as well as the little things like finding a man and boxing out when rebounding.
