If Aiden can't hit we can't justify playing him.

I wonder if Nate will come to a conclusion that you aren’t going to win a NC with short guards who can’t defend. Eventually you will run into a team that has good length, good defense, and can shoot.

Honestly, I’m not all that excited about Holloway coming back next year. He can do a lot of good things, but when it comes to playing against the top 10 teams in the country, he’s a huge liability on defense.

Duke are more physical and fighting us... yet we have 5 fouls and they only have 1.

Seriously screw all of this.

We can't shoot, we make errors defending and we have refs who can't cut us some damn slack

Honestly insane to me we haven't had anyone he able to win a 1-1 all night. Like guys. They're still human.

The tournament is won by long, physical teams. We can run our system with those kinda guys too. Imagine a high volume shooting team that beats the shite out of the other team on Defense???

Duke is the traditional blue bloods. Refs aren't going to help us. You have to know that going in. We're just out sized and do brain dead things.

We need a 6’9 point guard like BYU’s

We’ve slowed Flagg and still can’t keep it close. Bad offense, guard play just abysmal.

And that has got to be his mindset moving forward, whatever he does. We’ve gotten close. It’s time to knock down the damn door.

Nate’s offensive Philosophy doesn’t match up against good defensive long guards. Without a 4 that can hit a 3 makes it even worse, no low post presence

We have to have more Josh Primos and Keon Ellis’ to be able to get where we want to go. Mark Sears is a legend but he is 100% getting shut down against Auburn, Florida, Duke, etc.

This. Mark Sears is a fricking nightmare that won't end.

We don't have a single guard who can hold Kenipple's jock
