Or should we say lack of defense in the game. It’s obvious Broome is not playing defense with any bit of intensity as he’s favoring his shoulder and his left foot when attempting to stop the opposing teams “Biggs” coming into the lane.
He was most responsible for giving up 46 points -Nelson, omuruyi, and Sherrell on top of 23 rebounds. His defense cost us the game, yeah he scored 34 but it was not a plus game for him.
Believing it’s beneficial for Cardwell to switch out and guard a backcourt player all the while leaving a small guard to box out opposing 3/4/5 is ludicrous. Broome is not healthy enough to recover and/ or maintain a solid box out position while scrambling to figure out who to pick up.
With CBM, CJ, and Cardwell not even close to approaching 4/5+ reb each a game (yes Cardwell got to 6 but incl overtime today). We are at the mercy of teams with big and strong F/C that beat us on the offensive boards and cause us to rack up lazy, stupid fouls. Hence the losses to FL, A&M, and bama and JB difficulties against Ky and AR.
It’s time to buckle up and see if our kids have the fight in them to overcome our deficiencies.
