That has never been more clear than on all the message boards during this slump. This team has some major issues but they aren't the ones most fans keep bringing up. MY clearly knows what they are as he mentioned them in the postgame, fortunately we're playing these games very close vs good competition so even if we lose out through December we'll still be a top 50 team in NET and KenPom.

- PG is not the issue, it's our secondary ballhandlers that are killing us. People have been looking back with rose tinted glasses at Bede when in reality our defense is lightyears better this year than in the past.

- The offense has regressed to 2019's stand and watch with Nolley. We aren't reversing the ball at all because teams aren't doubling Keve. Without the double our best option is him going 1v1 but we can still run actions off that to free up shooters only we don't.

- All of our action is off-ball, when we do run on-ball stuff Storm is perfectly able to get into the paint but there's no movement around him which is incredibly easy to defend when all you need to do is put your hands up and stand between him and the perimeter.

- We don't force switches on ball-screens because we don't threaten drives, and in the rare case we do it's because Mutts or Alleyne is the ballhandler and the latter is a black hole. The former plays a nice high/low game but his handle has fallen off a cliff so he's not threat going at the basket.

- Going slow is fine, we're generally getting fine looks, what we need to do is generate perfect looks which require secondary action beyond being satisfied with a 1v1 in the post opportunity.

- I would like to see us attack the press more, especially if it's an aggressive trap like Dayton was running. We're perfectly able to however so it's a coaches decision we don't, it's not because Storm can't dribble.

- We need to give our bench more burn, those guys were higher rated recruits out of high school and it shows. DNG is our best help defender down low, Maddox is our best slasher and Pedulla is physical enough to hold his own.
