I have a couple observations. Born has to be hurt. Every shot was short or off. He just doesn't miss like that consistently. Wolf shot it worse than I've ever seen him shoot. I agree with a couple others that Hutson doesn't look super comfortable at the top of the key running this offense. Hopefully that gets better as the year goes on. He does a nice job with his back to the basket, but we really miss Phyfe up top. Henry runs this offense from the top of the key and is able to take advantage of aggressive defenses with good backdoor cut passes. Tytan is about the only guy that can drive to the basket and draw a foul consistently right now. Fortunately his free throw shooting seems to have improved. I think Heise is capable, too, but that's not really how the offense operates with him.
The broadcast wasn't bad by any means, but USF's defense really wasn't nearly as good as they made it sound. We missed so many open looks at 3. I would be willing to wager a significant amount that we won't shoot that poorly from outside the rest of the year. The issue is that this happens every year at the beginning of the year. We are a habitually slow starting team. I know there's a process, but can we please change up how we get ready for some of these OOC games.
That North Texas team was significantly better than this USF team in my opinion. If we had played like we did against them, I think we would've won relatively easily. Just didn't have it yesterday. I really hope Born starts to get right by Wednesday. I can barely stand listening to media talk him up without background info and then acting shocked when he puts up no numbers. I can already hear the nonsense and I'm getting pre-annoyed.
