Here's what concerns me


The book on this team has been out since Memphis. All of our losses since that game (including the 2nd half of the Dook game) have followed that blueprint- ball pressure and physicality designed to disrupt MY's offensive system. And a month and several losses into that run, I have not seen MY make any significant adjustments in either strategy or rotation. It seems like he's not just "hoping" that Alleyne will finally play better, it's a general "hope" that somehow, our team will magically figure out how to beat pressure. I do think the athleticism of this team is limited, and so we are probably not going to break out of this slump just by "playing better". We need some type of tweaks to the system, and to the lineup running that system, or else there is no reason to believe the rest of the year will be any different.
