Tigers vs SEMO

[Lightning Rod]

It appears this team, like all of Gates teams, only practice offense. No defense, no FT.

[11WSChamps]

The open three looks for opponents have been a problem the whole time Gates has been here.

No help on defense, SEMO shooting 60% in the first half.

It seems there's always a guy standing in the corner that's wide open.

[Whatashame]

They can certainly score. Stopping the other team? Seems to be an issue. Scored the first ten now only up 7. SEMO shooting 60% from the field so far.

That should never happen, but here we are. Doesn't seem to be much interest in playing defense.

[Armchair QB]

Early trend this year we have to fix: contain dribble drive penetration and then what happens when you allow penetration - prevent open 3’s. We don’t have enough guys committed to defense right now.

The other is free throws. Mitchell and Phillips are going to be at the line a ton, they have to shoot free throws better.

So far offense is as was to be expected, but hope we lock them up on D. SEMO isn’t good. We should throttle them.

Has Mitchell ever shot free throws well?

[Lightning Rod]

Phillips constantly with the bounce when he's right under the basket, he's a turnover machine when he does that. Where the coaching?

He's streaky. This is a disgusting performance so far. Coaching seems to be an issue, game tied at 34.

MU is going to give up nearly half a hundred to SEMO at home no less in the first half.

No but he’s been worse early this year.

Defense is our problem. I hope it’s only because we’re playing SEMO and players are sleepwalking. Because the effort is just awful. Slow feet all over the court.

If I’m coaching I light our players up at the half and challenge them big time.

[Whatashame]

After scoring the first 10 we have been outscored 42-27. By SEMO!! Absolutely unacceptable. We are going to give up 50 in the half.

Defense is just a rumor to these guys

Are we that bad or is the team that lost by 25 to SLU that good?

To be fair I don’t think SEMO is 25 points worse than SLU but we’re really playing terrible D.
