Sherrell and Williamson as your centers won’t win games in November through February too well either.

We will never matchup with the elite teams with size until Oats starts prioritizing defense over offense just a tad bit more than he does.
Sometimes it doesn’t pan out. But yeah if we’d somehow gotten a Bediako type instead of a damn Williamson in the portal we would be a much better team.

Bristow 11 Reb in 19 mins. HE HAS TO START PLAYING 30+ MIN A GAME

Don’t freak out too much. Bama is still really really good.

He has to start putting the ball in the basket when he gets it under the rim.

Sherrell with 14 and 6 against one of the best backcourts in College basketball.

A lot of his misses are unlucky rolls on the rim.

Okay performance tonight. I don’t think we need that much production from the front court, but we do need them to at least secure defensive rebounds.

We are totally reliant on Phillon or Holloway if we can’t get in transition which you can’t do if the other team is dominating you on the glass.

t’s more about us than Gonzaga. We shite shot tonight. FTs embarrassing. 7-15 in the money half.Amari Allen cannot shoot FTs along with several others.


They leaned on us all game with their size and athleticism. They got easy shots, we had to take hard ones. It caught up

We need an enforcer with 20 hard minutes and 5 fouls. We will probably play small ball for most of the other 20 anyway. Williamson did not seem like the guy we needed to go with Sherrell because he’s basically another small ball center despite actually being big enough to be a man’s center.

Sherrell is a soft big. He wouldn’t even get on the ground for a loose ball.

I don’t think people are freaking out but a lot see the writing on the wall with the roster construction for march. This team will have to be scorching hot shooting in March to beat the normal big dogs. We limit ourselves to playing one way only.

No, we played like shite because Gonzaga ate our lunch on both ends. Few had everyone but Philon in hell. Not only did they dominate the offensive glass but we also couldn’t get anything in transition on the rare occasion we did get a defensive board.

It would happen again more times than not.

Bama still feels like one of those teams capable of going on an absolute tear.

Yep. Alabama will probably be a higher seed but they have no real path to winning a national title with this roster.

Aden isn’t going to average 1-8 from 3 all season, for example.

The bad part is most of the fans were skeptical of the front court in the offseason but our coach is so enamored by threes he forgot a big has to be able to rebound and block shots. We went from Nelson and Bediako to Sherrell and Williamson. Horrible front court.

Yep, they had it on cruise control with their strategy.

67 others will have that chance too, we will fall in the bucket of with a lot of them and will need to be blazing hot. The real good teams do not have to be and can win multiple ways.
