Welp, boys, looks like it’s about time to switch to American Pickers for the night.
I can't tolerate piss poor defense, it annoys me to no end.
Sure didn’t think a guy from Tulane was coming to save us named Kam. 
I don’t like Lowe on the point of our press but Kam or Chandler on it
Lowe leaving his feet before he knows what he's going to do
Is a bad habit, especially with as much experience as he has.

Layup or wide open 3 for them every possession. Literally every possession. If they get an offensive rebound, they get multiple. The only way we get a stop is if they miss a 3. We’ve forced 4 turnovers. Sound familiar?
Turnovers. We won every statistical category except turns and assists.
Lowe single handily gave them the game the last three minutes.
A PG who can’t dribble well, play defense, hit 3’s or make front ends.

We scored 4pts in the last 4 minutes after cutting it to 88-84. 
- Yeah, not buying the "at least we made it close." Took fluke shooting on both ends for that to happen. They got whatever they wanted all night. We don't pressure the ball, we let guys get comfortable, we let them run whatever they want. Layup or wide open 3 on about 90% of their possessions. Honestly unfathomable how bad we are at forcing turnovers with this squad.. was a huge issue last year too, but was hoping that was explainable by roster construction/injuries. Starting to get concerned that's just how Pope's defenses are going to play. Pretty hard to be an elite defense if you don't force turnovers.
- Offensively we're merely okay. Maybe we'll make enough shots, maybe we won't... but the quality of our looks vs the quality of theirs is night and day. Lowe is creative, I guess, but he gets relentlessly bumhunted on defense. He needs to be much, much better on one end or the other (ideally both) for us to do anything of meaning.
-,Oweh is finding out that he can't just force it into a packed lane on this team. Not enough gravity around him this year. And I'm not sure his shot has ever looked worse.
- Last year's team (if healthy) beats this one by double digits. There's no Brea, no Williams, and there's sure as heck no Butler on this squad.
