Very sloppy last few minutes with some poor defense and bad decisions on offense...

Unbelievably disorganized against a 3/4 court press. Nobody came up to help.

Montez isnt ready for more than 6-8 minutes per game in big ten play. Hes got a ton of learning to do. Hes just not there mentally yet. Drexel is shooting pretty damn well

44-37 at the half, but would be up 15, if we had played better the last 5-6 minutes. That's what we're going to see from a young team, though. Some great shooting on offense (Geo with a very quiet 15), but inconsistent defense and a few bad TOs are keeping Drexel in this, despite their best scorer only having 3 points (3 fouls).

Eugene still shaky. Thank you Geo.
Hes gotta be aware of when the double comes and he has no business being in the backcourt trying to break a press, thats not his strength

Yeah, he's been forcing things and then sulking when he makes a bad play. Eugene with several bad plays too and he should know better.

He's made a nice pass or two out of the double team but they're doing it every time and it seems to be frustrating him. Needs to play calmer this half.

I can see why Drexel took 30 threes in their last game. We should win this by a decent margin but those guys can shoot their way back.

I honestly believe that Harper may be the right person on the court as a 2nd guard vs a press..he is a natural guard that just grew into a Small Forward...plus he's also 6'7 to see over the defense.

On surface i am fine with the plays when the players are decisive...instincts are there.

I’d like to see more of Harper and Johnson, and I’d like to see Kiss look for his shot more.

Its case of a scrappy Drexel hitting alot of their shots...better Defense for RU and cutting back on the turnovers is the ssolution

Having guys being able to actually hit open 3s to stop some bleeding is so important.
