Braun getting two fouls early was a killer, need him on the court. Really tired of the team coming out of the gate with no sense of urgency to start every single game. Like always this team goes as LA goes(especially true when Braun is on the bench), he was in a funk the first half, played better in the second but we dug too deep of a hole vs a good team.
I did like to see that Saul pull LA aside after the first half and talk to him.
The loss hurt, that said I don't think getting third or fourth is really that huge of deal, either team we would have to play in semifinals is tough. ORU is the better team but playing SDSU would basically be a road game. That said we need to win our first round match up first.
This team has me confused. I have been harping on the poor defensive scheme and lack of screening on offense all year..but they have so much talent. Now, they have a good defensive scheme game...and almost ran an offense after the first pass. But after LA, Braun and Marshall are we all that talented (although going left is not an option). We have a guy that can only shoot, a guy that can only jump, a guy that can only dribble, a guy that can take up space, a guy that can play defense...and those are the good ones.
I don't know..no answers here.
We don't really have a guy that can just flat out score night in and night out. That's the difference I see. Look at Alex Young and the other top scorers in the conference. They can score from anywhere and anytime they want to. We don't have that luxury. Sure Braun can do that sometimes but the consistency is not even close. Once we find that stud scorer, we will be subject to offensive lulls more than we would like/expect. I'm hoping Braun can step into that role for next season, cuz it's not coming in the freshman class next year.
