We missed free throws, we couldn't rebound, we didn't play good defense in the post and we did not look good at times at the point guard position. It didn't look like we were running anything offensively.
You have to give Stagg all the credit. They run the best offense in the conference. They use back screens and chips screens that free up their outside shooters.
We are looking hard for different combinations that work well together. We don't have a problem using any of our guys, but it does seem like there are combinations that work better.
Now we are seeing what the kids can do, what the team can do and what we need to work on. We should be able to solidify a lot of things after this tournament.
Moving D.J. to the 2-guard would help us out. He played well today, and Bryson Harden came in and did some good things at the point. Richardson can play different spots, so having him will help, too.
We had a real tough second quarter, a really devastating second quarter, probably the worst we've had all year. That quarter did us in. If you look at the first, third and fourth (quarters), it's an even game.
We really did not shoot very well. We wanted to get a better look at some people.
We definitely put up shots too quickly there at the end. That hurt us. We can't play that way.
Number 50 (McKnight) killed us. Our post defense against him wasn't good.
