Hoops Thread: Frogs v Horns

[f_399]

At the Kansas game, their best player had no fouls late in the game.

Why can’t fisher do that? Back to back games he is on the bench due to fouls.

He can be our best player if he just stays on the court.

Just a terrible effort all around. Lazy lazy lazy defense. Vlad is sleepwalking. Bad shots. Turnovers.

Meanwhile our women’s team is beating Texas by 9 at halftime.

 

[Bizarro Frog]

Texas 13 of 16 inside the arc

They are all dunks.

I don't understand how some players regressed so much from last year? Vlad's shots have been absolutely wild this year and he looks lost on defense at times. Last year he was able to block more shots and looked so composed in the paint.

 

[Pharm Frog]

Texas 13 of 16 inside the arc

And one of the misses was a blown dunk.

 

[GuardianFrog]

9 turnovers in the half is bad, and it felt like 20. Got to take better care of the basketball.

Vlad is missing a bunch of shots he was making last year, not sure what’s going on with him, but we need him to get going.

 

[DickBumpastache]

Horrendous defense...too common a theme this year.

 

[DeFrog]

Right now we can’t seize the moment. Down 2 with the ball then suddenly down 11. Why do the refs pick on Fisher? He only played 14 minutes against KU because of foul trouble.

Because he fouls?

 

[DeFrog]

What happened to broszianski? He is terrible. He looks terrified to touch an opposing player. Or to be touched.

This.

Vlad was Mr.reliable.

Hopefully he gets that groove back. Do teams even double him anymore?

And UT goes on a 11-2 run to start the 2nd half and ties the women.

And the bad part is that bad defensive teams rarely become good defensive teams in season. Offense can seemingly die and come alive again but not as often with D.

He got a girlfriend last year (ZTA). Now more worried about his hair and all that than, you know, hoops. We’ve all been there just without the microscope.

I’ll gladly sacrifice a women’s game for a men’s win tonight. Here’s hoping we go on a similar run out of the break.

Not as often as the non-conference teams did. He’s just not physical enough IMO. His baby hooks are mostly 9-10 feet away instead of 5-6 feet and his pick and roll D technique seems too high and too slow in recovery.

I’ll gladly sacrifice a woman for a men’s win tonight. Here’s hoping we go on a similar run out of the break.

fun with the delete key

 

[TX_Krötenechse]

Just horrendous defense. It’ll honestly be a miracle if we pull this off.

 

[Pharm Frog]

Vlad needs to play on the perimeter I guess. Just not strong enough

 

[y2kFrog]

We have had our doors blown way too many times over the last 20 years to even remember individual games, but this game is flat horrendous. Lack of effort by every single player. One of our best players from last year has turned into one of the worst. Our starting point guard fouls for no reason. I could go on and on...

 

[Horny 4 Life]

Rousing start to the second half. Vlad hesitates to go up for the dunk and loses the ball. Then Vlad gets rejected. Then we foul on the other end. Then ARob gets stuffed.
