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

"Wow, this press is working great. Causing turnovers, making them panic a bit. It got us back within 4!"

Coach Drew: Stop pressing!

And then out-hustled for yet another turnover. Drake dives for the ball, Lucas leans over and tries to pick it up.

Yup. Don’t know why we stopped the pressure

Credit drake, they wanted it more and beat us tonight. Flat out beat us, in all facets. Just came in and beat us. With an at large birth on the line and we played awful basketball. Guys didn’t look focused, ready, or want to play today. And Coach V was thoroughly out coached, devries had his guys ready to play and we weren’t. Which has been a theme all season, all conference we cede teams huge leads and agains good ones we won’t come back, that happened tonight.

Incredibly disappointed with the effort and execution, especially with an at large birth on the line. We have to win arch madness now, which Looking at how we’ve played the last month, is a tall task. Can we do it? Yes, we all know we are capable of playing great. Will we? Odds don’t look good right now, I can’t see us shooting unbelievable from 3 for an entire weekend and that seems to be the only way our offense works at the moment.

Tough pill ti swallow, especially with 4 seniors coming back. But here we are, it all rides on Arch Madness.

We need to cheer for uni tomorrow and hope we can win the conference on the last day

Drew’s rotations get very tight in the second half I’ve noticed. Just an observation.

Saint was giving good minutes, would have liked some more

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.

I didn't get that either.

Young coach, just like a young player. A lot of growing pains over the next 5 years with Drew. Doesn’t mean he’s not the right fit in the long run, short run though he’s been knocked around a bit by his conference counterparts.

Where was our vaunted defense??? We are a good but not a great team

[JCT]

First time we've been swept in the regular season since 2017.

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

I said this exact same thing on drive home from the game. Our defense is nowhere near as emphasized under Coach Drew.
