Worst defensive team since Pitino’s first bunch?
- Thread starter CNJ1966
- Start date
We out rebounded them, made more free throws, better 3 point % with 10 made, had a guy with a triple double….and flat out got smacked because our lack of defense.
We were just as bad last year.
109th in defensive efficiency vs. 110th this season. Only major injury was to Tre Mitchell toward the end of the year, and we played a far weaker schedule.

For the most part they are doing what they can do to try and win.
They know they cannot stay in front of the guards right now so forcing threes.
It worked vs Tennessee. The Arkansas goes 13/25 (33% prior) and Ole Miss 13/30 (35% prior). 26/55 in two games. Meanwhile with no ball pressure weve forced 13 turnovers in 3 games...1 tonight...1...absolutely insane for this level of ball.
All that explains while despite shooting 20/44 from 3 and rebounding respectfully in past two games, we've still been punked.
Edit- on top of all of the above we are 46/34 in AvT in past 3 games. 10/13 AvT from guard spot...what a train wreck.

I have said this team reminds me so much of that team. Not very athletic and played below the rim but managed a 14-14 record
I can't remember any Pitino or Tubby teams being this bad. Clyde played too slow for us to be this bad. Last year and 9-16 were pretty bad, but I don't know how they'd compare.
Zone imo is only option at this point
This team is not playing to their abilities.
Granted their abilities are limited. But they aren’t doing their best.
The phrase “leave it all on the floor” just does not apply.
There’s simply no excuse for this.
I hated everything about how Tubby coached. But you never saw a Tubby team not try.
