I believe we do have talent.  The polls picked us 5th in the league that’s talent.  But we have the same old offense. No kick outs for threes.  Our posts roam on the outside but few screens what are they doing there?    Wisconsin kicked out for open threes
Ugh

So, Bob, given the flaws you identified, why don't you draw and state the obvious conclusion? The bigs shouldn't be roaming the perimeter looking for 3 point shots. Why are the guards not trained to drive and finish or kick out? It's obvious what the problem is. By the way, it is not obvious to me that our talent level is that good. We shot 1 for 16 from deep against the Badgers; 6.6%! Pathetic, and yet Haase says that the Cardinal is a good three-point-shooting team. Perhaps so in practice and when the other team plays loose perimeter D. Not when they play tight perimeter D. To loosen up a tight perimeter D we need wings and guards that can take it to the hoop with good ball control and either kick out or finish. Do we have such? Not clear, except for Davidson transfer Michael Jones.
