Cade Davis has no business starting. His shooting is terrible. Bring him off the bench to see if his shot is falling and if it's not send him back to the pine.
Cade Davis is shooting 35%. He should be benched immediately. Davis was the main culprit in last nights loss. When UTEP went on their 17-2 run that was the difference in the game Davis jacked 3 after horrible 3.
Put the 5 best offensive players on the floor. TMG, WW, Pledger, Crocker and Tiny. Work your offense, the defense will take care of itself.
Defense is a function of offense. When you play transition teams like Houston, Northern Colorado or UTEP there is only one way to defend them ... MAKE YOUR SHOTS.
If you miss 3s and give them long rebounds you are not going to defend them. Seriously tell me how you are going to defend their 6'11" center pulling up in transition and nailing a 3? You aren't.

I think we need to just play the other guys and see if they can play. Even if it means putting Beau Gerber on the court. They can't be any worse defensively than what we got right now.
They tried that against Houston and lost because they gave up 100 points... They scored 93 and lost, because the defense doesnt take care of itself.
Bottom line, take care of the offense and the defense takes care of itself. All this talk of defense is bogus. Teams are getting good shots against us because we are not having good offensive possessions consistently enough.

Wrong, OU lost to Houston because there was a stretch where we turned the ball over like 5 times in a row and they made us pay every time.
The Houston loss comes down to OU having 18 turnovers and Houston having only 7.

Soo, teams are getting good shots against us because... we have bad offensive possessions?? HUH?

Of course. When you make a shot you get back and set your defense. When you turn the ball over or miss a shot it's a free for all, especially when you miss long jumpers with long rebounds. Then the other team is running to their spots and the defense is not set, giving them better looks. Especially vs teams like Houston and UTEP.
This won't as much of a problem in the wrestling Big XII where there is not much good offense.
