We lost a chance of winning the game because of it

Disagree - you earn time on the floor at the end and he hasn't earned it lately. I have no idea what's wrong, but he better fix it fast or we're going to go into a serious tailspin, especially if Young is out for awhile.

Was Baker bad on D? Did he work hard?

I like caleb a lot. He did not not want the ball. Baker does and has come through. I want the ball in Geo or Ron’s hands in that spot.

Geo is a rhythm shooter. He needs to catch the ball and shoot in rhythm, or dribble to a spot that he likes and shoot in rhythm. Watch the last 3 minutes of the Michigan game and it's a horror show of missed open 3s because he's in a spot and open to shoot stationary.

He should move to his right to shoot.. the ball will be more on his right hand then and the left will have little to do with the shot. His on eon one move is a big jump back to his left.. and that would require stopping the ball and setting up the shot with his left... learn to go right... or set up in the corners like other teams do and let someone else penetrate and dish to you.. heck.. even Mulcahy has done that.

i don’t think he’s a difference maker...one way or the other.

We’re the same team with or without Gio. A scrappy team that plays fantastic defense but is majorly flawed on offense.

Bottom line is we need Geos in the game late. For better or worse he is the best we have. Caleb is NOT a PG and should not have the ball in his hands at the top of the key with the game on the line.

I'll bet Steve will or has reflected on how minutes were allocated and wished he had a mulligan.

Mathis played too many consecutive minutes in half 1
Baker needed to be in down the stretch
Baker needed to play more (just to take away minutes from others)
Caleb played too much

What I don't know, and I don't want to watch the tape, was Geo on his game defensively.

The game was lost in the stretch where Maryland score points in transition early in the 2nd half. Not sure what really happened on some of those plays. I remember 2 of them only Mathis being back.

Baker didn't get the minutes because of his D last night. If all we can do is a NBA step back 3, then have Baker in there. Or, Pike can draw up a play that gets our guys a better look.

Don't forget - RHJ was just as bad.

He is still very good on D even when his shots are not falling. Geo's D the last 2 games was not good. He hurt us against UM when he was on Sampson. He just is not quick enough. Mathis was on the floor at the same time. D was better when Mathis and Young guarded him.
