This team needs to play better post defense.

One thing I have noticed is how we give up too many easy drives to the hoop.
In the game against UF, Perry and Holman let several players just take it to the hole.
We have to switch off our man and defend the basket, this team is missing that defensive type player.
Ado will step in to defend, but the whole teams needs a to have that desire to make a player pay for coming to the basket.

We miss a player that's an *******. Not that I would necessarily want him back but Xavian Stapleton played that role.

If this team had Brandon Vincent, they would be top 5.

ETA: i was not calling Brandon an *******. I was talking about his defense.

Peters is an *******, without the size to go along with it

Both Perry and Holman can defend. It's will they.

I don't think it's because they are weak defensively, I take it more as them trying to stay out of foul trouble, because that would mean losing valuable time on the other end of the court putting shots up.

I love those guys, but Ben needs to bench anyone who's not committed to defense at this point. We have plenty of shot-takers. Need some selfless shot-stoppers. Maybe that's why Woodard started. He needs more playing time.

I said this same thing to a friend the other day. Our guys all seem so reserved. We need a Zimmerman, Bullard, or Vincent to fire them up sometimes or get in their faces. I would love to know what is going through Zimmerman's mind as a grad assistant sitting on the bench. I bet he has to bite his tongue off when we leave guys wide open for threes or do something stupid.

I hope so, really liking Woodard, his dad was a baller.
