Rand is not an awful player. He is still among the country’s leader in blocks. Moses has just been much better lately.
I’m ready for Ahmad and Jalen to turn it back on, though. They haven’t been great the last few games, and we know they’re both capable of playing much better.

Everyone has film on us now they know what we can do and cant do. #33 has not really played until lately and playing to his capabilities very well |

Robert Morris is a lot more into the game than Milwaukee. That does not bode well.

It's that Rand is just an awful player and the teamis realizing it IMO. He's completely unplayable vs mediocre or better competition. And the only reason he plays at all altogether is that we literally have nobody else as a big man aside from Bol. Having to play minutes to Rand and Johnson are the biggest things holding this team back aside from turnovers. Those 2 are so bad and we would 100% be better off playing all perimeter guys and going super small instead of them. You are right who needs a POST GAME . Just shoot threes I mean if you think throwing it into the post for Rand or Jalen Johnson are valuable possessions you're out of your mind. Post ups are low efficiency actions in general, now factor in you're talking about 2 dudes with no footwork or post moves (you counting the JJ power back down into like 3 waiting defenders with no spatial awareness of anything on the court??), let alone counters its is just a comical assertion that they should be getting post touches. THEN let's take it a step further and add in that both dudes are absolutely ABYSMAL passers and decision makers and it's like what?!?! Giving dudes post touches who can't pass out of the post is just literally the dumbest effing thing of all time. It's not 1970. The value of posting up is as an initial action that can create offense using the threat of scoring...but if you can't read the defense or make a simple pass out of the post it's a total waste of a possession.

Sounds like you should be on the side lines with Lundy!

I’m more referring to the team being engaged from the bench, talking to each other, etc. RMU wants to win more than Milwaukee wants to.

We sure make some airhead plays at times. All the rest of the air appears to be on the Robert Morris bench. C'mon, guys!!!!

I like this team, and for the most part they play hard, but this team does not play smart at all. Also, the next time they box out will be the first time.

As much as I love the idea of Bol, the last few minutes have demonstrated why he's just not a big impact player. He can't reliably get easy rebounds even vs guys 6 inches shorter than him. And he's easily our best big. It's a huge problem. |
