Agreed, really all season so far, the rotations are a step slow.

Lack of both athleticism and effort. Hopefully it's a product of illness and fatigue.

Jays are skinny and unathletic. They can shoot the shit out of it but if they miss badly like this they are made to look so bad. Will drop at least 10 spots for this performance.

This game definitely rips a giant hole in my confidence going forward. They play plenty of teams that will be better than these guys on defense...better find an answer to the pressure.

As I noted before the game, they are a team designed to attack our defensive strategy and make it difficult to defend the way we want. Miller would have helped as we don't have anyone with size/agility to play their wings at the 4 spot on the floor today

On the positive side, we won't see that many teams that play small ball like this, and we'll have Miller back and Green in shape by the conference season.. and I doubt we'll see Alexander going 1/16 again this year, and not on a night when Baylor goes 4/17. Bottom line, if your two best offensive players are 5/33, you will almost certainly lose

Only thing preventing a complete disaster is that Baylor came back in after the ankle injury

I don't want to put more pressure on Alexander as it looks like maybe he's putting too much on himself now, but we need better from him and Baylor

Burn the tape and move on

Safe to say at this point Ash is a significant downgrade from R2
