So am I down on Del, he did get open for his shots, so close going down.
Unfortunately, close is only good in horseshoes.

I’ve been calling for Sha to give Dolinski some run. Being that I’ve been worried about your big men, I figured now is the time to find out who’s who and boy am I glad he was forced to play him last night. That was not a fluke people. He’s a keeper. He’s played against pros and it shows. The fact that he’s a freshman makes it all the more impressive and I’d consider him foundational, along with Tyndale coming in next year. He might be our best big man right now along with Williams. Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t think Cope scores, rebounds or defends as good as Dolinski showed
Lastly, as much as we all called for Petro to be our starting PG, his defense is atrocious and he’ll be targeted going forward. Luckily, Trey Parker is a heck of a defender and may have to see extended time at PG depending on the matchup
I think we have a chance to be good folks. Let’s build on that good effort!

The officials were HORRIBLE fouls 38 to 18 . Southern hospitality Lol !!!!
This was a good game for Copeland to miss. He wouldn’t have been a help in a track meet
I think you are way too hard on Petro regarding his defense. He was against a very talented Alabama backcourt and he got little help from his teammates when they drove to the basket. They shot a lot of free throws and it was not all Petro's doing.
I want to see 2 bigs and also 2 bigs plus Fisher as needed. I dont think I start them. Bama killed us off the biards first half. 2 O rebounds they got (from good bounces) lead to that 2nd chance 3 that always seems to hit). But one of the main things the Bama coach talked about was that we outrebounded them in the second half.
Another good game for the bench with 39 pts. And 16 rebs, almost half the total. And Parker and Jones had 6 of our 13 assists. Great contributions.
Let’s face it. To date, Wilcher has been an Omega.
This was an encouraging loss, if there is such a thing.
The defense in the first half was extraordinary until the 5-minute mark, then it fell apart.
If Copeland played, Dolinski doesn't get that run and Seton Hall is probably worse off.
This is a bizarro team: Offense is supposed to be better, defense not as good but it's just the reverse.
Also in the bizarro world, Petrovic and Dolinski were not supposed to be that good.
3-point shooting at this point is almost as bad as last year.
Del Jones almost scored, one of his shots even hit the rim.
Wilcher, Brown, and Thomas were supposed to bring 3-point shooting? Um, nope.

Ref’s control the game, TRANSFER RULE IS ********. EVERYTHING COMES DOWN TO MONEY. ALOT OF MONEY IS BET ON THE GAME !
Which is exactly why he will play - defense. Many have problems adjusting to what Sha wants, but Wilcher has already played for demanding, defense-focused coaching. Plus why not bet on him starting to look at least like the guy from two years ago. It isn’t like we have a plethora of better options.
he could finish, catch, pass, make quick decisions. it was clear within 3 seconds of watching him. meanwhile i saw kabba for far too many minutes vs Charlotte be completely inept.
Copeland has looked terrible vs bad teams and dolinski great vs a great team.
what am i missing?
I didn’t see a great point guard yesterday.
5pts, 3assts, on 33.3% shooting, 5 fouls, & 3 turnovers

Wilcher's defense is decent but not elite by any stretch. He doesn't rebound or do anything to open up the offense. We need a lot more out of him than the guy from 2 years ago to have a successful year but based on his 4 year stats, he is what he's always been is at this point. Still time to step up though.
Petrovic
Anderson
Fisher
Dolinski
Williams
Is this currently our best lineup with Parker as 6th man off the bench?
We lose basically nothing having Wilcher play less minutes aside from some ball handling with Fisher at the 3, but make up for that in having two very capable ball handlers on the court in Petrovic and Anderson. And we add a ton of size, rebounding, and defense up front.
For small ball lineups we can easily switch back to Fisher at the 4.

I am disappointed in Wilcher so far, and moreso about Jones. I would not take away time from either yet. I think both will get their shot back and help.
Why not go cope, williams, fish?? Fish isnt a 4. How much longer do we need to see it. Not his fault but we are so small
I dont start that trio, but I want to see them on the court together if a larger lineup is needed. I think Fisher and DW have enough skills to play away from the hoop, let Cope stay low. On D, could be more of a challenge. But I'd like to see it.
The 5th foul was a smart one to stop the clock in the waning seconds to send Bama to the line! Duh! It is what Sha wanted and would have done if he was on the court. Petro gave himself up for the team!
Also he would have had 10 assists if guys could have made their shots, some were point blank too!
Potter and Sha definitely have it out for each other. It's been going on for a few years and noticeable. Bama was much more aggressive going to the hoop and we had a hard time handling their size and their two stars. I would expect them to have more FTs but that was a big disparity and the phantom foul on Wilcher at the end was egregious.
Petro made a dumb drive at a critical time at the end. Parker made a dumb drive leading to Bamas last 1st half points. People miss shots, people make bad decisions. If they dont, they probably didnt play.
On this though, I would say all 3 of those teams were better, bigger, more athletic, with better offense. All of which tends to result in a free throw discrepancy when it comes to how we play offense.
Not sure what is going on with his outside shot, really off from 3.
He should attack the basket more, just to get himself going. He is a good free throw shooter.
In fairness, Thomas getting very little playing time. He needs more PT as does Rodney Brown.
Sha made a strange comment to Jerry Carino that he needs to get Thomas to "understand this is big-boy basketball." Sometimes he gets big-eyed out there and that comes with reps." Hoping he gets the reps and more comfortable because we need his shooting. He's an excellent 3-point shooter and driver to the hoop. Among the top 3 Ivy players while at Dartmouth getting to the foul line.
Nice to see Dolinksi getting extended time - you can see the difference in him getting comfortable with how he played yesterday. Hoping the same happens for Thomas and Brown.
Wilcher is a career 5-6 ppg guard. Why does everyone think he should be so much better than that?
He has never progressed and people would rather suppress the playing time of players who are actively breaking out rather than suppress his in hopes he will meet expectations.
I say Parker Petrovic and Anderson have earned their time. And I’d rather see Sha try Fisher at the 3 with two bigs than force Wilcher to be the smallest 3 in the country and Fisher the smallest 4
I like Dolinski....with limited playing time, under his hat, he still was offensive minded.... and didn't mind roughing it up under the boards.
Hope he gets his minutes.
Hope he gets his minutes.
