Our guys are gassed and the refs have ensured they won't be allowed to defend.

"There's a long way to go in this one."
That's what I was afraid of.

Panthers now can't put a hand in the vicinity of a Colorado shooter without getting whistled for a foul. 😑

None of this is on the officials. Our starting 5 has been atrocious.

The defense is embarrassing. Literally zero pride on that end as a team. It was a problem last year and looks worse this year. Bart has to figure something out because the team is athletic and physically capable, but they just don't care whatsoever. Constant communication breakdowns, a single screen and the defense is totally compromised, no one can contain dribble penetration, general laziness (giving up layups off of made baskets?), awful body language. Woof.

Pratt and Franklin deserve more of Elijah and KPs minutes.

Pratt and Franklin deserve more of Elijah and KPs minutes. Honestly EJ is borderline unplayable so far this year. He's been maybe the worst defender on the team, an absolute turnover machine offensively, and he's constantly looking to get the ball. He should clearly be coming off the bench as like 7th-8th man.
The best lineup is KP/BJ/Markieth/Franklin/Duffy. With Pratt/Fields/Gelo/EJ off the bench.

Today calls to mind this quote from Dick Bennett after his Washington State team lost at Oklahoma State 81-29 on Dec. 4, 2004:
"I generally like what I'm seeing on offense. We just don't have the defense installed yet."

They've actually increased their shooting percentage this half - inside and outside the arc. They may score 130.

Panthers lost to providence by less than the badgers did. Best team in the state?

Matt is exactly right: at its core, defense is as much about energy, positioning & organization as it is about talent. Sorry, but I can't let tonight's performance slide. Forget about 100; can we keep the Buffs under 120?
