[QUOTE="YJMD, post: 396151, member: 1929"] I'm sick of guys having career games against us, and it doesn't seem like it's our D that's making it especially easy on them. Still, we could have won this one. Frustrating that we didn't, but at least we made it exciting at the end. The defensive breakdown to allow the layup was bad, though. As far as Clemson's OREB, at first I was going to blame it on them throwing up bad shots down low against our shot-blockers leaving no one in the post to corral the miss, but looking at the 3ptr replays is also pretty telling. So much watching of the shot with barely an attempt to block out. Our bench has disappeared. Obviously we need to spell some guys (the bigs in particular), but man did it hurt to pull the starting 5 out of the game every single time. I'm not sure why CGB has looked so bad lately. Has all the talent but just playing like a freshman. On the plus side, we took really good care of the ball except for a couple of plays. Gueye was great in the post, but I wish we got it to him more often. Clemson seemed inept down there defensively. Saw Alvarado push more to kick off the offense which did free things up a bit, but he struggled with staying in control on the dribble. Seems he's just so use to finding a creative way to the bucket that slowing down the dribble to pass out of it when you draw the defense is a foreign concept. Overall, I think we are doing much better. We go through stretches where it's not just fatigue but lack of belief. We're running the offense and running the defense, but it just seems like everyone expects things to be a struggle when they don't have to be. The effort is there, but the belief can wane. [/QUOTE]
