2019-20 MBB: Louisiana 67, UC Irvine 92

[zephyr]

So, we already don't close out well and give up open 3's but lets play zone and really let em get going. Great idea. We also only play 7 guys. We don't have the depth to be trapping.

So, by your philosophy we don't do much on defense very well so should we even play it?

Also, we play 9 solid and that's not counting Spencuch who I actually think could do well in that particular role.

You don't have to trap all game. It's something you employ and I'd prefer to play it not like a zone but more like an attacking style of defense. At the very least, its a change of pace that can hopefully get us going offensively. You can try different defenses in basketball, in fact, its usually a pretty decent idea.

I'm curious what 9 do you think we can play on a consistent basis? You including Lafayette? You really only have Wilson/Hardy off the bench.

Park Place Surgical Hospital should it be allowed to sponsor Louisiana Athletics.

Russell was a no show in this game. few minutes 0-7 from the field.
We need him.

[IberiaCajun]

They have 40 pts in the paint!
No interior defense.
I think Rutherford has one miss.

[IberiaCajun]

We need to get to the free throw line...and convert.

[ULvictory]

I turn away for 5 minutes when we are down by 5 and now Irvine is up by 19. What the hell happened?
