First things first...I have NO insider info and/or connections, nor do I claim to.
Ok, with that out of the way...there's no way in my mind that Avo cannot get some PT. I know he sat most of the 2nd half last night, but I'd be shocked if all of a sudden he rode pine the whole game.

I really like Avo, but his game against Tennessee Tech was awful. His overall plus/minus ratio for the game was -14 (-12 while on the court/ +2 while on the bench). If weighted over 40 min of playing time thats -37.33  . That kind stat doesn't necessarily indicate that it was due to his defense or offense alone that caused Tenn Tech to score 12 more points than UWM while Avo was on the floor and that we scored 2 more points than Tenn Tech while he was on the bench, but no matter what we played worse with him in the game. (Of note his plus/minus ratio was helped by not being on the floor during the final minute of the game when Tenn Tech expanded their lead to 10 due to free throws. His real plus/minus should have been closer to -20) Inversely Swiggett had a plus/minus ratio of +18 ( +4 while on the court/ -14 while on the bench). I think the optimal lineup at this point is what Jeter used: PG: Charlie Swiggett SG: Al Hanson SG: Ricky Franklin PF: Paige Paulsen C: Sam Mauldin with Avo, Gentry, Thornton, Massiah, and Skinner getting the majority of reserve minutes.

You don't have to be at a game to know what 8-of-31 from the foul line... I know a lot of people on the board are big fans, but I'm trying to rally our students and get bodies to the game, not shun them. My attitude isn't negative and my comments are factual. I came with 3 other people and they were all Marquette students/alum, and they seriously made up over 23% of the Student section. Please at least if your not at the game, read the box score correctly  |

Chances are, people who talk on this board are going to make it to games. It's the other 22,000 students who need to show up.

• Causing Trouble
UWM's defense continues to show a knack for forcing turnovers. The Panthers forced 21 Tennessee Tech turnovers Sunday, the third time this season UWM has caused 20 or more turnovers by its opponent. The Panthers caused 30 turnovers by South Dakota State last Wednesday, while also posting a season-best 11 steals. The 30 turnovers forced marked the most for UWM since Florida International turned the ball over 31 times against Milwaukee in December of 2002. Also, the Panthers last had 11 steals in the league semifinal win over Loyola last season
This was in this weekends write up I stand by my stance of having a good defense not an amazing defense but a good one!

This was in this weekends write up I stand by my stance of having a good defense not an amazing defense but a good one! Turnovers aren't always caused by tough D...there are lots of variables involved. They ARE getting better, but are not ready to lock-down most of the HL teams, IMO. |

Yes there are other variables but the point is that even taking that into account 20 plus TO's is impressive.

No doubt. Impressive indeed.
All that I'm saying is that from what I saw in the Tenn. Tech game, on the defensive end, UWM was slow on their rotations.
I would have rather had them have only 10 turnovers and have a few more stops.

This team's defense isn't impressive. I mean to be critical here, no matter who reads it.
Opponents are shooting 50% this year from the field. That's a LOT compared to UWM's field goal percentage.

Most of that is due to our opponents height advantage. They're learning how to adjust to that, give it time.

I'll give it time, for sure. A team this young needs it.
But we can't hold their hand. If they're not playing up to snuff, don't say they are. Sure, some players, coaches, and others read this board, but that should only be more incentive for criticism.

Let me just say this----Our defense isn't taking advantage of their turnovers with fast break points, if we would we wouldn't be complaining, we don't have an impossible ways to go to get solid.
