Game 7- Northern Kentucky


Recommended Posts

caught Groce interview after game.  I think he said Wilson was practice player of the week and was working on some of his bad habits which I'm guessing may be fitness/food related.  Wonder if Scott is in dog house like Wilson was for the last game when Wilson road the bench with his hoody.   Otherwise, the stuff we all witnesses regarding fouls and turnovers.  

 

Any thoughts on Hardman this evening?  He didn't have the wide open looks that he's used to.  Also, was he guarding Robinson?  Big mismatch when Tavari had him.

Hardman struggled tonight.  He is a 3 point specialist and missed every 3 ball and I think only scored one point.  I remember one play where he drove the lane and had a open lane to the basket and then passed it into the corner to Tavari leading to a turnover.  I think he is at best an average defender.

Hardman is not going to get as many looks now that opponents have some Akron film on him.  He's an awful defender and got caught in some bad switches.  I was surprised at how often NKU just put Robinson stationary in the low post when he was so successful moving on the floor.  He's a heck of an offensive player for being the Horizon Defensive Player of the Year.  He's also an Ohio kid.

He's from Hamilton, which is literally Northern Kentucky.

Listening to Groce’s comments I gather we can expect to see a 9 or 10 player roster until everyone is playing up to standard in practice and in games. Wilson must have had the worst grade before last game and Scott before this game.  I do think his goal is to eventually play 11 deep at some point.
