Had it on. Can't say we watched.
We are NOT a good defensive team. How much of this is scheme and how much is talent is hard to see at this point. At one point I thought Haase was a good hire, now he has proved himself a disaster. We cleaned house in Football, time to clean house in Basketball.
Agreed on defense. Most of the previous few seasons when we struggled on offense, we played pretty good defense--arguably elite defense for a couple of seasons. Lately our defense has been pretty bad.
I watched the first half of the game last night (not worth staying up past my usual bedtime for a team going nowhere). Against the best three-point shooting team in the P-10, Haase had us constantly sagging off of perimeter players. That led to a bunch of open shots. That strategy is fine against a bad shooting team, but you can't lay off of good shooters.
Fingers crossed we're down to our last 5 game with Haase as coach. Then they can promote Haase to AD, promote Muir to university president (at least he hasn't committed scientific fraud), and hire a good MBB coach.
