Where to start? Yes, Griz we were never in this game from start to finish. Poor shooting percentage, again, especially from three. We lack a true point guard and not a knock on Brandon but he just doesn’t see the floor well enough to run the offense. We had virtually no penetration other than Josh.
Where is the real problem? Coaching? To a degree Travis is still preaching defense but if we look at stats we are the ones getting our asses handed to us. The coaching staff? Probably more than we know. You can only recruit the Bay Area and some Southern California to the point where these players look at our brand of basketball and go elsewhere. We need to expand our recruiting borders. Travis has access to a private plane if need be. I don’t know how much his staff tries to get him to adjust his style but if their not then they need to go.
From the tip off of tonight’s game it was clearly evident the demeanor of the team was trying not to lose rather than trying to win. An overused cliché but they just played tentatively. No aggression, no take it to the basket, no attempt to be the aggressor. I feel bad for our players but doubley bad for Travis. He really cares for his players and for the University. But the Brad of basketball the Griz are playing just ain’t going to cut it with our fan base.
