Griz lose to PSU 89 - 77

[TrueGriz]

Lack of defense + Not enough offense = loss

Krysko says the practices past week has been poor. Basically, the whites (non-starters) have been beating the maroons (starters). This isn't just once or twice but all week. Maybe there will need to be some changes. We will see whether Krysko does make some changes.

Anyway, Kamaar Davis lead the Griz with 25 points. Easley was the only other player in double figures with 10 points.

Griz turned the ball over 26 times.

PSU scored 31 points off of turnovers.

I sure hope the Griz can win all the rest of their games at home, because they may not win any road games. The Griz look decent at home, but just play so lousy on the road.

If Kamarr plays for the non-starters in practices since he currently comes off of the bench, that would help explain why the whites are winning. I'd start Kamarr and Strait at the 4 and 5 positions. I continue to be mystified as to why Lynch and not Matthews comes in to spell Martin at the point. Of the 3, Matthews, while not the scorer Martin is, certainly is the best ball-handler and defender. Martin, Criswell and Lynch combined for 14 turnovers tonight. Using Virgil more, especially against teams like PSU that pressure the ball, could really help.

I would totally agree that Virgil should be used more. I wouldnt mind seeing him and martin in at the same time and see how that might work. Great game Davis, Criswell struggled all around, I can't see him having that bad of a game the rest of the year.
