Our 2 shooting guards are a combined 0-18 from 3 point. Yikes


We’re up 107-33….

I suppose it serves as a reward for the walk on guys. Other than that ?

Well the game wasn’t very good, but the whole team showing love to the bench players being interviewed after the game was special, these guys seem to really care for each other, great to see.

We did have 4 double doubles. Pretty cool.

And Brim dropped 20.
Be nice to get him going.

I’m guessing Brim played because Clarke was out (not sure why). If I’m Kerns, I’d find a way to get Brim more minutes. Seems to be an underutilized arrow in our quiver.

Clarke had a collision near the end of the UNCA game...might be concussion protocol.

Clarke can be a good defender, but his offense seems to be nonexistent. I would like to see Brim get more minutes over Clarke and that may help fill the offense slumps we have been seeing lately.

I would be willing to take a step backwards D wise to not go on 7 min scorring droughts and shoot better tahn 48% from the FT line. Time to ballance out the D and O.

I agree this team needs to run to win with the limited possession game that we like to play - we don't score well enough right now to limit our scoring chances. So many possessions we shoot with 10 or less on the shot clock, I think that puts pressure on the team to score when we don't have consistent scorers. The VLU game we shot 14-44 with 3 pointers in a glorified scrimmage, granted people were taking shots that were not "regular" but dang we should shoot better in a practice game with less pressure. Also FT% this game was under 60%... man are we just in a funk or is this shades of a tough season. Really hope the funk ends after exams. We have a tepid fan base with basketball, might have a under .500 record going into January. if we don't start sunbelt play on fire the fans will quickly forget the diamond season we had 2 years ago.
