This is almost Grinnell-level defense.

Defense was the an issue last year and still a problem this year, for now.

I honestly don't know if even the tightest defense from us was going to change this kind of game. Colorado is GS level tonight. Good defense or no.

Panthers lost to providence by less than the badgers did. Best team in the state? Best team in the "The Universities of Wisconsin ". Maybe for today. We've got WORK to do.

I'll say it again; Bart may need to bench KP and Elijah. They're not showing they're worth starting ATM.
Let's give Pratt, Duffy, and Franklin more minutes.

Suffice it to say that Lundy doesn't agree with Ty's take on our defensive effort.

Suffice it to say that Lundy doesn't agree with Ty's take on our defensive effort. The defense is cheeks at best. It's pathetic and there's no excuses about teams making shots or whatever. They are making shots because we provide no resistance to anything anyone wants to do. Of course teams look like Golden State when you roll out the red carpet for dribble penetration and every shot is wide open because a single screen or skip pass completely collapses the entire defense and everyone is lost. It's really really bad. Even for playing vs good teams. We had this exact issue last year too, we just don't take pride or play hard on defense. Then factor in that we can't consistently finish possessions with defensive rebounds and it means teams are going to light us up nonstop. There needs to be a massive philosophical shift in how the team as a whole approaches the game, we lack identity. We play fast, but sloppy, and the issue is that the offense is basically BJ scoring 1on1...or nothing. And if it turns out that last year's 3pt shooting on most players was variance and they can't replicate how well they shot...its going to be a long season. That's not a recipe for winning games.
Interested to see how we look vs some lesser competition, as we have to show up actually locked in and focused.

The good news is… we have plenty of room for improvement, and the talent is there.
