I don’t care what kind of offensive output this team gets, giving up 8 3s in one half is going to lose you most games.
Yes, I understand. We did beat Winthrop after allowing 8 3s in the first half and Cornell after allowing 7. Loyola MD had 7 in the second half.
Again, this is not a defensive team. The defense has been a problem all year. But we were able to move the ball and score and stay in the game long enough to put the pressure on the other teams down the stretch. The defense is bad, but the regression offensively is inexplicable.
Tony has failed to turn this group into a team that matches his identity. In trying, he’s failed to capitalize on the group’s strengths. This is not a team that should be routinely scoring in the 60s.
