I never said you posting a score was negative. I didn’t point out any particular post. RP is just mostly negative.

And that is being optimistic!

One thing I noticed , our out of Bounds Under the goal plays need some adjusting. We must have thrown the ball to have court IE, the Lee era in bound plays , at least 7 times. We gotta work on that… I would Like to see us score more out of those situations. 1-0 is 1-0. On to the next one.

Agree Brad on inbounds play. Could be a little crisper. Fortunately we did not turn it over on inbounds plays.

In bounds under the goal, for me is to try to score out of it. Especially out of timeouts.

What would you do differently? Their length was definitely an issue all night especially under the basket.

Game was won last night at the foul line. I think Butler missed 2 early when nothing was falling and then after that as a team they were 21 of 22. Also out assist to turnover ratio was even at 11-11. Youngstown was 4-17.

Love the energy of the team. Don’t matter who is on the floor they are balls to the wall. This team plays with pizz and vinegar. Once those shots start falling, look out. We missed about 10 shots within 3 feet and lots of 3s rimmed out. That won’t happen every night. Personally I think Ratliff needs to play more. He made some really nice passes. I’m excited about this season. Geaux Cajuns.

I would like to see Ratliff in for Kitenge more as well. I don't know what our fascination with isolating Kitenge on the block, as he doesn't appear to be a very good low block player. Only thing I could think of was to continue to get their bigs in foul trouble.

I thought the offense and the floor opened up with Ratliff in the game. I liked that while we were the smaller team, we played big and challenged them on the boards especially the offensive boards where we tied them with 13. This was a big reason we were so effective last year in that Lewis just killed teams on the offensive boards.

That's not a good assist to turnover ratio

2000 fans don't pay the bill.

Who cares? We won a game that looked dire at best after the first 8-10 minutes. Quit worrying about the attendance for a game you probably weren't at.

Execute , screen the screener… The Big 7Fters for them didn’t affect our in bounds plays, nobody set any good screens to get open to execute the plays. You go to STM games all the time, they always scoring off of out of bounds. Call Danny and get a couple plays from him… I can install a few that work as well…
