DVR'd the basketball game so I didn't have to flip back and forth:

We should be playing zone, and full court pressing as much as possible. We get crushed on switches far too often.

Roster composition is laughable. Watson and Williams are a complete waste of scholarships, although to be fair, Williams played a good game by his standards.

We are severely undersized and have no other capable forwards save for a true freshman coming off an injury. No one has any ability to rebound or score in the post.

We badly needed a JUCO or 5th year 3 or 4 this year, and with an undersized 1, another skinny wing, and a raw center who needs to fill out all coming in, we still need a JUCO or 5th year 3 or 4.

Brown mostly good D but very little ability to get to the rim. Lacks anything reminiscent of a killer instinct.

Coleman should not be starting. Can't create his own offense. Zero ability to finish at the rim. Poor D. He should not be playing anywhere near as much as he is.

Q only player who can create offense and get to the rim consistently other than maybe Dingle. Q still floats away at the rim and rarely finishes through contact.

Obi not involved in offense. Floats around perimeter too much.

Bond is what he is, which is fine if you have a capable 5

Should be playing Trey and Shizz as much as possible, probably starting both over Brown and for sure Coleman at this point.

It was pretty obvious after about 3 minutes of the 2H that our starting lineup killed any momentum we had in the 1H. I actually think we played relatively decently despite being outmatched by Wisconsin's size. I thought our shot selection was mostly good, we just couldn't make shots and finish at the rim.
