Drake Preview and Game Thread -- 2-19-2022

Brutal stuff on both ends of the floor. Lucas with some AWFUL turnovers (and he's not the only one). Defensive lapses leading to wide open 3's or easy drives. The lack of execution by a team loaded with fifth year seniors is really inexcusable, especially this late in the season.

I love Schwieger, but if he isn’t scoring he’s a net negative on the court.

Saint had a great half except the one turnover. Maybe should have driven that fast break, but I will rarely turn down a Norris 3.

Stop turnovers and limit their ghost screen 3s. Not making it easy

At this point, Schwieger is basically a spot up 3 point shooter and that's it.

At this point in the game (-8) Norris and Lucas have combined for 50% of the shots today…continues to be a poor formula and leads to a stagnant offense.

[goramblers2011]

Sturtz just takes the ball right out of Braden's hands. Then they out-hustle and out-position us causing us to foul. Second chance and third chance right there.

NIT could be fun if we make a run to the semis. Ramblers in NYC!

Drake simply wants this game.mlre than we do. There's no other way to put it. They're forcing turnovers, they're winning all the 50-50 balls, they're destroying us on the glass.

We're playing lazy tonight.

It's bizarre how much worse we've gotten on defense from last year.

[Mertz2003]

And agreed, I don't get the point of Schweiger anymore.

I'll emphasize this again...as Schwieger has now been swatted twice with ease on drives (one might have been a goaltend).

Drake just better than us. This is the second time they've proven it.

[goramblers2011]

Key defensive possession. Finally some momentum on your side, down 5. And you let damn Sturtz waltz RIGHT into the lane, with no resistance, for that stupid little hook shot he does.

[Newman104]

I'm so confused. This team does nothing but shoot 3s. They're at their best when they're hitting their 3s.

At the end id the game down 8-9-10. With less than 2 minutes left. Nobody is even looking to shoot from the perimeter.

The whole strategy of this game doesn't even make any sense.
