From watching the past couple games, the Ducks are much more active and talkative on the defensive end. It's a stark contrast to earlier weekends where people seemed to have no idea where to be and they seemed really lethargic, which seemed to influence their offensive gameplay as well.Tray Dub wrote:If we can split the next three weekends – away for the LA schools, home for the Arizona schools, and away for the Washington schools – we'll finish 20-11 with a winning conference record. That's actually pretty close to what it takes to make the tournament. If we can win a couple conference tournament games or do better than .500 going down the stretch, I think we can start thinking about dancing, which would be awesome experience for our young guys.
What the hell did Altman see in Elijah Brown. Dude needs to sit on the bench. No defense, no conscience when it comes to shot selection. Give the young guys the minutes. Especially Kigab. Yes he's a turnover machine right now, but maybe with more minutes he'll calm down, and he shows promise on defense.Merganzer wrote:Huskies by 25, Cougars by 27, now tied with the Huskies at 7-5. The intensity in this one didn't match the level against the Huskies. Ducks started out heavy on the 3's, but gradually became a bit more selective. Not sure of the turnovers, but WSU was as careless a team as I can remember watching. Troy Brown is definitely getting more comfortable on the court, Elijah is still kind of a pitching machine set on 3's.
He’s the definition of streaky. He’ll score 18 in a half on 6-6 3’s, then score 0 on 0-8 shooting the next. Altman does a good job of keeping him on a leash and it seems as though that leash has been getting tighter with Bailey looking to be more comfortable with each passing game. When Brown is hot though, you 100% want him on the court, but if he isn’t hitting, he doesn’t bring much else to the table and just turns into a chucker IMO.nogerO wrote:What the hell did Altman see in Elijah Brown.

I'm not sure where you get the no defense part. He communicates great, good rotations. Offensively he helps tremendously with spacing, has great court awareness and moves to the correct portion of the court to open spaces for others. You can say what you want about his shooting, and I will agree it has been very streaky, but defenders still respect it.nogerO wrote:What the hell did Altman see in Elijah Brown.
