Amari Williams

Amari was great. Too bad that Pope didn’t use him properly tonight. He could easily score 30 if he was the focus inside instead of having to do the routine of point forward and dribble the ball. We got him tired .

I was begging during the game for Pope to use Amari the right way….. such a waste of effort.

Amari good job !

He’s worlds ahead of Garrison and that drop off is significantly hurting us when Amari goes out.

I don’t think Pope is this kind of guy but I would think lonnnng and hard about whether Garrison should be brought back to be the starting big with a freshman back up. You gotta be REAL comfortable with your development plan because the metrics are showing Garrison just isn’t good enough.

Amari was killing it down low. I just don’t understand why he refuses so many initial options when he is used at the top of the key. He did give it to Robinson once that I recall as the 1st option that lead to a downhill drive,

However the defense is what killed them tonight. Arkansas has better athletes and nothing was done to adjust to the penetration. Left Z too many times as well.

Did you notice when he was open 6 feet from basket and Alamanor took a contested 3 and miss? Amari and Almanor talked abou that. Is coming from Pope , this is the one game where we should have gone inside first and that opens the 3.

We forced the 3 passes instead by overplaying the flex and zoom action and got many turnovers out of them where Arkansas capitalized with dunks….that’s demoralizing for our guys and gives courage to Ar.

The game plan should have been go inside first to go outside after and on defense take away their 3 , especially from Davis and Z, instead we took away the 2….

Pope and staff were no show tonight.
