Livingston's Outstanding Defense!

[LmdCat]

There was nothing about Livingston's defensive effort that made sense. He didn't slide step. Instead he crossed his legs and got turned completely around in a circle. That had to be the worst defensive effort seen this season..

Besides Toppin play before that

Toppin on every possession is worse than Livingston

Maybe so, but Livingston wasn't in the shooter's zip code when he took the shot. That was the worst defensive effort since Oscar's embarrassing defensive effort during the Michigan St inbound play.

No point in even arguing this. They were both absolutely horrendous

They both might have been, but what happened to Livingston on that play at that crucial moment was pathic. He didn't even try to play defense.

Liv got turned around , and almost fell down , but the previous possession Top gives up a straight line drive , right handed ( strong hand) layup . equally horrible , but some are calling out Frederick for playing poorly . SMH .

Agree. It almost looked intentional. I'm in my 40's and currently out of shape and I could've done better.
Defense is heart and effort. We have atrocious help rotations and poor pick n roll coverage. This team is horrendous in half court defense.

Whole team played terribly (minus Oscar)

 

[WE WANT RICK!!!]

Toppin Frederick are just as bad

Toppin gave up 8 layups tonight

A lot of guys didn't show up on both ends of the floor. Being without two points guards doesn't help either.

One thing is certain, if Wallace isn't back for Arkansas, we will lose by 30+

So I guess he’s ready for the NBA then

Wright might of got away with a walk, but Livingston got cooked no doubt about it

The NBA has nothing to do with what happened tonight. I can't believe that someone playing at this level would have found themselves that far out of defensive position at that critical moment in the game. That was a simple lack of effort and concentration.
