You don’t think it’s because of the coaching staff completely ignoring defensive fundamentals? It’s the same exact problems as last year, regardless of who is on the floor
I do. We've been torched early in the season two years in a row -- Furman and Buffalo. Both of these teams were experience and projected to win or compete for their respective conferences when we played them. Last season our 3-point D got much better as we continued to gel with out Nick. This season we have even more new pieces and things are still coming together. Their ceiling is high when they start playing as a unit.
We also got torched by a very young Richmond team.
If you thought we got better as the year went on last year, you saw something very different than I did.
We got better early, as we adjusted to life without NN. Then got worse as we continued to not play defense, which other teams exploited
