I have been the biggest critic of Deville on this board and it was OBVIOUS to me he should of been on the court as much as possible last night to beat that press with his speed. Stansbury only played him for 18 minutes. Deville in those 18 minutes managed to score a team high 25 points. Stansbury played Bryant for 19 minutes. Bryant scored 2 points. Jalen Steele played 24 minutes. Steele had 6 points. Stansbury is a 17ing MORON!!
Check out this moronic stat for Stansbury...

DeVille wasn't impressive against the press... He also was one of the reason's that Nobles was wide open a few times... And he got a lot of late points plus a bank shot 3 pointer.
Not bashing the kid.. I was impressed with his shooting and hopefully that is a sign of things to come. But 10 more minutes from Smith wouldn't have been the difference last night

were the only bright spots last night. Deville played great offensively and defensively after his first 2 minutes. What's your point?

I watched every second except the first 5 minutes cause it was still on the George Mason game. It was so obvious that we were much better in the smaller lineup yet Stansbury kept the bigger lineup for the first part of the 2nd half. He absolutely whiffed last night. Sidney shouldn't of played a second the hole game. He is much too slow on the transition. Awful awful coaching last night by Stansbury.
in the first half trying to dribble thru 3 defenders and that is why he was put back on the bench soon after entering, which was the right thing to do. Our advantage in that game was Arnette and Sid. The gameplan was supposed to be to pound it inside. Yet, we couldn't or didn't do that at all. The pressure fouling handchecking slapping defense prevented us from getting the ball past midcourt too often in the first half to even get in to the low post. Our players have a long way to go. We are a very talented team, but our guards play very poor on ball defense. Our bigs give absolutely no help defense once our guards get blown by. I've never seen a Stansbury coached team give up so many uncontested layups. Ever! Our players also have to quit getting rattled. Arnette didn't handle the pushing, fouling pressure at all last nite. I did not however see what he did to receive a technical foul. He did run back down the court after the terrible foul called on him, but I didn't see him say a word or raise his hands or shake his head or anything. Him being a nonfactor last nite was huge.
Bottom line, UPig took it to us last nite, pushed the pressure and made the refs call the game like they wanted and our 'Dogs didn't respond at all to it. Dee is in a terrible shooting slump, Bryan and Jalen were way to soft, Deville played hard and played with great energy but he is way too loose with the ball and is a liability on D. We didn't even try to get the ball to our strength when we needed to and let Arkansas dictate how we played the entire game. All this led to a good ol fashioned butt whipping.

Deville's first two attempts to bring the ball up the floor against the press ended disastrously. It was obvious he wasn't at all ready to face that. He was pulled, and didn't come back in for a long stretch. When Stans did put him back in, Arkansas had backed off the press, and Deville was able to more freely play his game. He thrived late, and he stayed in the game.<div>
