      It's a bit perplexing but Gregg's first couple of games starting, before the switch was made, were low effort. Ajayi shot 47% from 3 last year. This year 10%!? Gregg shot 37% the last 2 years. This year 21%. Ajayi is a better defender than Ben. Surprisingly I think Huff might be better this year too.

Because of that, Jun Seok Yeo plays 3 minutes! Innocenti 2 minutes? Makes me wonder what coach and the staff ever saw in Yeo. Third year player who played some internationally I believe and he plays walk on minutes!🤔 Such a shame!

      well adjusting the starting lineup once is rare and he did do it last year, he also did it already after just a couple of games ajayi got into the starting lineup over gregg. What is he likelihood he changes the starting lineup again? Two times in a year has never happened in recent history at least since I have been paying attention like 10 years or at least I don't remember it happening. With that said I do think ajayi is the higher skilled player but Gregg is more beneficial to have in right now. I'm also conflicted on the huff vs ike discussion which has been discussed at length

    What do you think about a slight tweak to the starting lineup? 1. Nehmbard 2. Hickman 3. Ajayi 4. Gregg 5. Ike. Battle goes back to a more natural assassin role off of the bench, where he and Huff can be the focal points of the offense, plus playing with Huff creates more space for Battle to drive. Ajayi playing the 3, then has great positional size, and our bench would be an offensive juggernaut.

    Zags players like Graham Ike/Nolan Hickman can't play consistently against the way better bigger athletic physical players from college basketball teams like UConn/ Kentucky etc. & only play good against the crappy 💩 teams like cupcake 🧁 teams we play plus the fact that coach Mark Few will never win national championship game with 7-8 man roster rotation with leaving really good players on the bench either with saving extra year with redshirting or players like 17 year old big center Ismaila Diagne that's not redshirting need a extra 7 foot rim protector so Graham Ike is not getting into foul trouble because he's supposedly a center that ain't even 7 foot center just a power forward he can't play good defense against way taller athletic physical centers so good luck with winning national championship game this year because you'll need it against way better competition in NCAA tournament

  • @jameskile5113
    @jameskile5113 8 днів тому

    While I don’t think it’s necessary to burry Graham with calls for him to sit, I do think his underperforming has been very concerning. Few is quick to take him out when he’s not doing well which is good considering I don’t think Huff has what it takes to be the main post player right now. I think the biggest takeaway is that Ike plays well situationally. When the environment is right he can go crazy (see Kentucky game) and when the environment is off he just doesn’t have what it takes to create his own buckets (see Uconn). No need to take him out of the starting lineup at this point but instead just realize that he’s more of a specialist than a Swiss Army knife. We should focus on developing other avenues for offense and lean on Ike when the time is right. It feels like we as a fan base expected him to have a Timme time breakout moment and be the sort of big that can generate offense under any scenario. I think that expectation was a bit unfair

    The Huskies defense against Gonzaga was superb. They gave the Zags little to no space offensively. If Graham Icke can't score early, his game tails off defensively. He is not a rim protector. His foot work is lacking and he doesn't elevate. Bradon Huff has to put the ball on the floor before he shoots. This will allow the smaller players to steal the ball. The chemistry between Hickman and Nembhard is lacking. In my opinion Nembhard handles the ball too much and has some difficulty finding the open player. I would start Ajayi over Icke. Ajayi is more active defensively in the paint. Finally, the true Achilles heal for Gonzaga is they have no low post scoring like in the days when Drew Timme was with the Zags. The inability to score in the low post will not off set there "streaky" outside shooting. Without the ability to score in the low post the Zags will not get deep in the NCAA Tournament.

Also, there is no foul call on Gregg or Huff in critical one or two possession game. Both were slapped right on the forearm and no call. Life on the road, I guess. Very frustrating, NO show game from two seniors and two or three ridiculous Hail Mary's from UConn and lose by six! Also, I don't think you gave Dusty Stromer enough credit. Yes his shots didn't fall thus night but at least he looked like he wanted to play the game! Tremendous hustle, rebounding, energy and no turnovers and a steal! Ike and Hickman didn't even compete!

      ​@realgonegonzo yet he only played 12 minutes in this game, and they still lost. Harr to blame this on Hickman with so few mintues played. I think Ike's 4 turnovers had more impact than Hickman's no-show in this game

      Guess how many free throws Huck has shot all year? 4!!!!!!! He doesn’t want the ball he hides and extremely passive and avoids contact.

    Andy, I had the opposite feeling as I thought the Zags were somehow still in the game despite being down 13 to start and then giving up that 10-0 run after tieing it up. I believe they were only down 4 when McNeely made that circus shot

    That circus shot by McNeely looked like 3 steps to me in real time, but maybe not...will have to go back and re-watch. And then Ajayi responded with a crazy make of his own on the next play!

    Is 3 in the key still a thing in basketball? I could swear with around a minute left, I saw Karaban pitch a tent in the key, start a fire, roast some weenies, and then he got the ball for the layin.

    This was a great game. I have a lot of respect for Gonzaga as a UCONN fan. Always root for them unless they play UCONN. They are always well coached. Not semi....LOL. This is a home game for UCONN. Believe me.

    Flat out our bigs just collapsed under pressure. If Johnson wasn’t hurt we would have lost by 10 or more. Huff was at least serviceable but should have played better. If he would have hit a couple more of his shots we would be praising him for a solid performance. Ike on the other hand?? Truly an embarrassing game by him. He seems to only be good situationally. Nembhard makes Ike look like Karl Malone when the defense lets us run a high pick n role. Other than that Ike has completely lost his ability to post up in isolation. He’s not big enough to only have two or three post moves. I dont know what the answer is but I think the Zags should consider moving away from him as the go to offensive threat. He’s fine in pick n role, other than that don’t pass it to him unless it’s a mismatch

    The hardest part is that we have seen the flashes of brillance this team has.... But then these large streches where things just disappear make games that we know are SO WINNABLE end up as losses. It just is brutal.
