Chris Kramer and Aaron Craft were both great defenders. Threw up in mouth a little.

FWIW, the 40% from three was only on 15 threes. Will be worth seeing tonight if they shot a low volume of threes as well.

To be fair, it’s more than one game. He’s had three years to show he belongs. That said, at some point if Gunn can’t show anything then Leal should get his spot minutes

What’s your traditional 5 in this scenario if you are ‘sliding’ MM to the 4? Because if your lineup is X, Gallo, Cupps, MM and Ware, MM is already at the 4. If there is one thing I want to avoid, it’s giving Cupps even spot minutes right now. He’s a liability. If you only have three playable guards, that means limited time with all three on the floor.

I know that we are pounding on Reneau here....he did have 5 assists last night. But there were so many plays ran through him that he was kind of put in the TJD role last night. This is a game where last year TJD would have had double digit assists.

Re: playing Cupps, X, and Galloway together We have four guards. One of them is C.J. Gunn. If Cupps, X and Galloway are playing together, the only guard sub is C.J. Gunn. I'm not wild on having him as the only option as that means he's playing significant minutes. I'm also not wild thinking about when we start playing P5 teams having Cupps defend.

It definitely seems that Reneau and MM are having the most trouble on the perimeter switches. Ware isn't other than the one occasion tonight when he should have switched to X's man. Ware has closed on the perimeter well..

Re: On 'not playing MM'...... He's averaging 17 minutes/game. It's not like he has stuck with him overly long. But I also fully believe that in practice he has shown that he is a guy that should be starting. Having it not go well for the first two games of career doesn't change his talent level. I'm not sure who you think should be getting minutes and burying him on the bench....Cupps is getting 20+ minutes per game so far. Woodson has had to patchwork plays at the three by either playing three guards or by having Banks there temporarily. MM is going to be good. Gotta be patient.

He is, but Reneau missed him on multiple occasions. Reneau got his points but the ball is sticking with him. Don't know the answer, but think that Reneau is so clunky that it makes it near impossible to have MM, Reneau, and Ware on the floor at the same time. But with the construction of the team and lack of guards beyond X, Gallo, and Cupps, they have to play bigger guys at 3.

Hard to play three guards at once when you only have three playable guards.

Water finding its level on deep and late shot clock threes.

Okay, at least not the ultimate bad thing happened.

X was taken out with the screen.....Ware needs to go out instead of point.

NEVER post that with a 6 point lead and 2 two minutes.

Big shot by Cupps. Take the small victories tonight because there haven't been many.

Missed at the buzzer at halfcourt = missing a layup for Army

Gunn in? Ware out? Galloway out?

Jesus, put Ware in

Either that was off Johnson or its a foul.

Would like to see Ware and MM without Reneau

They are 16 of 31 from the line coming in.....course that might not matter.

Anyone else surprised that toss didn't go in?

1000000% not a foul on Cupps

Reneau killing us

SELFISH by Reneau. Galloway wide open for three and he takes two contested shots.
