Depends if we lost by 30(nm) - DevilsAdvocate KC - 3/21/25 11:40:14

Depends on if we lost via playing terrible to a lesser team(nm) - FIJItiger MU

dribble driving vs a packline defense... - Harvey Specter MU - 3/21/25 11:07:59

You have to create driving lanes by reversing the ball - Eggs MU - 3/21/25 11:14:31

What do you believe is his issue? - Sigma MU - 3/21/25 09:15:46

Defense, rebounding, and lack of good sets - DevilsAdvocate KC - 3/21/25 09:43:52

Defense. - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/21/25 09:17:54

There is SO much they do poorly on O. Or not at all.(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 3/21/25 09:37:44
