@ Akron (3/5)

[hammb]

Zips shot 63% for the half, including 53% from 3-point. Every team we play shoots the 3 like they never have before or will again.

Hmm wonder why that could be...

Then we give up a (actually contested) 3 to finish the half.

Seriously Akron is an awful offensive basketball team but we just have up a 44 point half? Brutal...

It would have been contested a lot harder if we had 6'2 Fields or 6'4 Turner on him instead of 5'9 DeAndre Austin.

I like seeing walk-ons get playing time, but not when it doesn't make sense, situationally speaking.

Austin was in because fields and Lester both had two fouls. Plus, no one else has been able to guard him so I'm ok with next man up. I wonder if they switch Turner on to him in the second half, but they have Ivey and Cheese that will still need guarded.

That's fair. I hadn't noticed that Fields picked up his second.

Lillard on Cheese, Plowden on Ivey, Turner on Jackson?

We're 9 seconds into the 2nd half and Wiggins has already given up the easiest three point play opportunity you will ever see. I love his talent, he truly just doesn't seem to have any fire or passion in his game, and it makes him just look soft out there.

[mbenecke]

Now down 50-37. Awful start to the 2nd half. Disappointing effort all night.

[mbenecke]

Just no defense at all.

[hammb]

We look like hell.

This team can look so good and so bad from game to game

[Matty B]

2 turnovers, 4 Akron layups, 0 huger timeouts

And even within one game.

Under-16, down 57-45. Losing interest in this one fast.

Asgood as this season has been (and to this point it is absolutely a success) I still don't think he can coach. Good coaches don't have their teams show up without defensive effort this frequently, and they certainly don't put up with the horrible offensive execution and shot selection that follows on our bad defensive nights.

[Globetrotter]

No fire

No defense.

This team gave up weeks ago

[Globetrotter]

Hypothetical because he deserves another year. You get one option. Extend or fire Huger? I think the correct option is obvious.

[Globetrotter]

Didn’t we used to rebound well?

[mbenecke]

Deficit was up to 15, but now it's 17. Playing way harder on defense right now. This is how this team should ALWAYS play - no plays off.

If it has to happen right now, he gets an extension. There's 0 way a coach takes you to your first bye in a decade, sets a Stroh record for home wins, and wins 20 games, then gets fired.
