there'd be days like this.
Oh man. I feel so deflated and disappointed.
Some things that puzzled me about today:
- I'm not understanding the substitution patterns on this squad. It seems like guys disappear for huge stretches and never can get in the rhythm of the game. Case in point: Fitzgerald leaves for 7 minutes after being our only guy besides Cade showing ANY offensive assertion. Case in point #2: Cam comes out in the second half. Makes some plays on the defensive end and then leaves for nearly 8 minutes. Why?
- We gave up during stretches today. That was VERY disappointing to me. There was a fast break where Cade quit running (along with his two teammates) and let the guy dunk in our face. Show some freakin pride. I know it sucks when you are getting rolled but c'mon.
- I really wish Capel would get up and throw some fits during the game. I was glad to see him get that "T". But it was too late. There came a point during his first year where he did it in a key moment against Texas and it seemed to spark the club. The club needed a spark today.
- Where are you, Nick Thompson? I know that your shot isn't falling and that you aren't making the passes that we all know and love. But why the heck are you not playing with emotion and hustle on the defensive end? C'mon captain. We know you can do better.
Couple of quick hits:
- Carl Blair throws a beautiful bounce pass
- Tyler Neal can shoot FTs like a champ
- Cade looks slower on defense this year...I think it may have something to do with him having to exert so much of himself on the other end.
- Cade can sure finish in heavy traffic
- CJ Washington sure can get off the floor quickly for a rebound.
- I want to see some curls run for Cam and Pledge shooting midrange jumpers
