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

He needs to start using the rim more as an extra screen. Andre Jackson was really, really good at that when going against bigger guys inside

I don't want to get into a three point shooting battle with these guys, but if that's what we have to do, let's at least slow them down.

How did these Liam Robbins guy get no other mid major looks! A 7 footer who can hit 3's, make athletic blocks and get up and down the court. This guy is good.

Robbins is playing out of his mind and we are only down 1 at the under 16. I still think we are looking okay. I really think we need to keep feeding Krut, and if he starts shot faking i think we can draw some fouls on him. He’s getting blocks, but he’s commuting to going after them. He can draw fouls.

The Valley really is deep though... this game is a prime example.

Not looking forward to 2.5 more years of Robbins

Free throws are going to cost us a lot of games, including this one, if it doesn’t get better. Fast. Basically lost possessions.

I stupidly thought it would get better. Seven misses and counting

[ToledoRambler]

I still can’t figure out how we can be so disciplined on something as complicated as defense ... but so horrible at something so fundamental like free throws.

Hall looks like he’s playing tired. I don’t know if it’s a first year wall or what, but all of his shots, including free throws are a lot of times short or off center.

Roman Penn needs to be assessed another foul, RIGHT NOW.
