Because Lattin is weak

Water is wet

Lon needs to abandon the switching defense.

It removes all defensive intensity and encourages laziness. Look at the intensity KU is playing defense with. They are in our guys pockets every step. We are 5 feet away on our heels waiting for the next guy to come and pick him up.

Does Trae even try on defense?

No

 

[DenverSooner]

I would prefer to see Odomes force. He tries hard

No....but of course he hasn't been coached to either.

The defense is horrible

Lattin looks like the scarecrow from the wizard of Oz out there

Yes he does. I'd also rather see Lattin never step on the floor again. He brings nothing to this basketball team. He's weak offensively. Has the worst hands I've ever seen. And defensively he gets scored on at will and taps the ball back out on a rebound when all 5 of our guys our underneath

I actually like our energy ... we're just not hitting a shot and we have no buttocks to stop all these blocks.

Said this all year. Anyone who really knows basketball knows and agrees with this.. terrible coaching decision from kruger

Kansas quickness and passing is killing the Sooners

Odomes was fouled so hard on his layup. What a joke. No call

 

[DenverSooner]

Wide open three point shots. Complete break downs inside. It is hard to believe it can be this bad. It is one thing to not be able to play interior defense, or not be able to defend the three point line, or not be good at rebounding but this team seems to pull the trifecta.

Doolittle legitimately can't play basketball.

I think that’s been a major reason why our 3 point defense has been atrocious under Lon almost every season.

 

[hoopsaustin]

I'm gonna to attempt a Rivals Main board reverse jinx and say there's no way we win this basketball game!!

Now let's go basketball gods

Lethargy reeks out of this team on defense especially bc every player is budgeting their defensive efforts by anticipating switches.. leads to them playing flat footed and less engaged. It's the simplest fix to get this team winning.. so obvious

Yep, he got straight up shoved.

 

[oudna]

We complain about all these crappy aspects about the team but I think it was all the same 2 months ago, except we could shoot
