GC. Why aren't we gelling then? There is only one one and done player on the team this year, Harris...

Of the 9 Scholarship players for AU this year that haven't missed the whole year due to shoulders/eligibility

-4/9 have missed multiple games due to injuries
-6/9 played their first game for Pearl this year
-5/9 played their first major conf bball game this year
-1/9 is Cinmeon Bowers


Most teams trend positive and improve but it is obvious why our team hasn't.

From our original starting lineup to today

-There are 0 combined starts between starters pre Dunans injury
-3/5 starters are injured or Cinmeon Bowers benched
-2 freshman are in starting lineup who were known "raw"/projects

Also, keep in mind that Pearl's defensive identity is his full court press and aggressive style. Due to depth concerns, we simply can't play that way.


We have a team that isn't athletic/good enough to win in half court defense and isn't deep enough to play full court press. We are SOL on defense
