That’s been Pope’s defense the whole time he’s coached. Hope they miss.Our defense this season is pray the other team misses 3s.

You tell ‘em unc!Hawthorne keeps showing. Guy could be really really good. Dumb a$$es here know who they are.
It’s hard to guard the perimeter with your hands up without losing a step on the opponent going around you.Pope may worse at teaching perimeter defense than even Cal was late in his career. Why are we letting JMU dunk on us? No way we should let a team like this dunk on you as tall as we are. Tell them to put their hands up! It’s infuriating.
He just has very little explosion sometimes you are right. I think it’s his second jump.Is it just me or does Moreno look like he has a hard time jumping over a phone book?![]()
Our defense is pretty bad, we are settling for contested 3’a from everyone. It’s one thing to kick out an open shot but we are shooting over guys.It's less than 5 minutes. Teams have to adjust to each other.
Yeah, it's not shored up much. I don't worry about D until about the 13 minute mark or so because you have to adjust but we're just not sharp tonight.Our defense is pretty bad, we are settling for contested 3’a from everyone. It’s one thing to kick out an open shot but we are shooting over guys.
It’s because he allows us to go 5-6 minutes stretches running nothing other than transition 3’s or shooting the first pass we get and fire from anywhere. When we run our actions we score.For an offensive minded coach, we sure do go through a lot of scoring droughts.
At least JMU’s coach coached under a winner (prime Cal).If you swapped rosters JMIU’s coach would have us up 24.
Losing Mitchell was a killer.McBride seems like a guy who has played pickup games all his life and Ousmane a guy who is still learning the game.
Saw some different stuff in the exh games and Tuesday but tonight has just been BAD>We actually have people on this forum thinking this team is any different than Popes previous ten years. Too funny.
We’d still find a way to be a fringe top 25 team with Mitchell.Losing Mitchell was a killer.
10 comments this thread and all negative. Duke fanWe’re about to get boat raced by Kansas.
We’re just getting started bro. The Pope farewell tour continues this Tuesday.Juggernaut JMU bodying us this half.
Oooof![]()
They’re gonna score. Offense will be fun to watch sometimes. But a Mark Pope team doesn’t play defense. Never have never will.Saw some different stuff in the exh games and Tuesday but tonight has just been BAD>
