Drake Preview and Game Thread -- 1/7/2020

Feels like we’re down 10. Being down 4 isn’t bad

[GoRamblers]

Two even!

Being down 4 isn't bad, all things considered.

Yet, I'm reminded...FREE THROWS ARE FREE

[JCT]

OK, it's been ugly and not our pace so far, but I like where we are at the break.

Penn has two fouls. I don't think their team functions as well with Thomas at the point. Thomas has two fouls also.

We need Uguak to score inside, we need Hall to shoot outside. Use Krutwig as a screen inside and outside.

And for God's sake, REBOUND. We don't have to beat them on rebounds, but we have to get closer than 22-7.

It’s a Valley game ... on the road ... down four at the half is just fine.

Let’s try to draw some fouls on Robbins and we will be fine. We didn’t play our best and we are down 4. Just win the second half!

Right on JCT.. they had NINE offensive rebounds. But it all stems from our guards getting beat and going into scramble mode.

Agreed. Our bigs are being forced to help contain their driving guards, leading to chaos and eventually a Drake rebound

Robbins has blocked Krut 3 times tonight.

[ahunte1]

Maybe Krut should shot fake...

[ToledoRambler]

Is Krut mortal after all?

[goramblers2011]

Krut needs to use pump fakes, footwork...something other than what he is doing.
