Maui Invitational

[gotime909]

Won by 16 vs a decent(I think) Colorado in the first round despite shooting 2-21 from 3. If this team can ever figure out how to shoot from deep they could be scary. Jace Richardson might be our best player.

Fidler is sooooooo bad

Its criminal how pathetic our bigs are. 3 straight years Izzo refused to bring in a quality big from the portal. Fidler, Cooper and Zapala aren't even mac level talents.

Also, if Jace Richardson isn't starting soon I'm gonna lose my shit. He's clearly the most talented player on this team.

Would be nice to see Fears and Richardson start but I don’t see Izzo benching Aikins any time soon. I don’t see Fidler as a big - isn’t he supposed to be a small forward? Either way, it looks like the game at this level is too fast for him. Too bad Carr can’t shoot.

Kohler is the only who has made any progress. Booker clearly hasn’t figured it out yet. Cooper is almost good enough to be a 6 min per game sub and Zapala is just awful. How is he starting ahead of Booker and Cooper?

They defend pretty well, although that KU game was misleading as Kansas missed a ton of layups and open 3s. And the transition game has potential - need more than one finisher.

Fidler has played 3/4. He's actually been better as a 4. Seems to be a better rebounder than shooter.

This team would be better starting 3 guards. Fears, Akins and Jace. Holloman and Teng backing them up. Play Carr and Fidler at 4 and Kohler and Booker at 5. Nobody else should touch the floor.

Richardson out tonight with a head injury. NC by a million

Izzo goes with 3 guards tonight because NC starts 3 guards and look how good we look. Up 13 late 1st half.
