Belmont is favored by 10.5, I suggest taking them if you're able
😬
I advise folks to take a chill pill. We're bad this year. I hope we improve and manage to win a few.
If anyone listened to Nagy's postgame, he has given the D over to Hawkins and another assistant and admits D is not his thing. He and the other assistant are working on the offense. He thinks we'll be better at the end of the season - I think so too, but you have to be able to shoot to win games. That is not teachable at this age.
He also mentioned you have to have a strong point guard - the most important position on the team - and a center to win. Lot of truth to that. He mentioned that they're working with Sharp to look less to score and more to enable teammates to score. Also states Steffe is not a point guard. And quote "it's just not a good offensive team but that doesn't mean you can't win"
Doubt we'll be winning this one, but Mo State is coming to town Saturday. We can win that one with good effort.
Go Dawgs!
(And Nagy is not on the hot seat. BM went 16 - 16 first year but he had Jones (Hinson recruit), Domask (new assistant recruited him for his old school), and a decent big in Barret Benson. Also played a few blood donors non-conference.)
@mr_woogers Nagy didn’t say D is not his thing, he said this new pressure defense they are implementing is not his forte. If he came out and said that after an entire offseason preaching how defense is the most important thing to him, that would be wild. Although, watching his pack line defense this year, I would tend to agree more with your original statement.
Let’s hope we can keep it under 20…I can’t believe that is something I am typing.
