Lone bright spot, 11-13 FTs. Everything else was not good. That kind of effort may beat fullerton but not the top of the heap. Previous Message
NAB everything I wanted to post about the game last night you said it spot on. I was very impressed with UCRs defense, their man d on the perimeter was outstanding and energetic, our guys had little room to operate one on one. Conversely, our d was too focused on Hargress and did hold him in check for about 10 minutes. Too bad they gave Moses and Pickens too much open space and they ate us up. I knew we'd be challenged with rebounds but I didn't know Nagy would be back...he had been sick and look wiped when he played any stretches but still the kid plays hard all the time. Anyway, UCR is very well coached, has returning guys, and everyone knew they'd be tough.
I don't feel like we rolled over until the last 3 minutes when it was out of reach but where we totally lacked was defensive intensity and smarts. We get a 'C' at best, give UCR an A. We have to learn from this.
Great to see Hart warming up and very active, hope he gets in playing shape soon. His intensity could have been useful tonight to fire up his mates.
Coach was not happy with this effort and I don't blame him. Coming from SDSU you know he has high standards for intensity and that was lacking.
Offensively, hard to say how we played because UCR's defense rolled us pretty good. I thought we did ok but like I'd said it would take a huge offensive night if we lacked at all on defense.
Learn from this one and remember the sting, UCR just punked us in our house. Gotta remember that as motivation. Previous Message
Got schooled by the UCR coach.
I knew it was just a mater of time.
UCR played as a team, both on offense and defense. We did not. Our offense relies on two or three guards and minor support from the rest of the team. UCR pressed our guards and gave them little room to shoot the ball. They failed to take advantage of the inside game from our bigs.
UCR did a good job on offense moving the ball around. We looked lost at times trying to keep up
This is about a complete new team and coaching staff going against a decent team with a seasoned coach and staff. Nothing to be embarrassed about. Just learn from the failure and get better
This year all the big west teams that they and the coach staff will face will be a new experience! Just learn as you go, identify your weakness and improve
Next year they will be better
