Cook's presence is definitely making a difference. Pulling defensive gravity towards him and dishing some nice passes. Everything but point. When Forbes is torching like this might as well ride the hot hand. 19pts in 20 minutes
35-24 Tulane at the half. We should be blowing this team out, but our deficiencies seem to be the same year in and year out: We can't defend against the 3....I've never seen so many players wide open to take a 3...even when we play a 2-3 zone; we take too many quick shots...many are 3's. I know that sounds counter intuitive but it's like we play like we're playing a pick up game on both ends of the court.
Tulane played a terrible first 10 minutes, but has an 11 point lead at halftime. Ty Pope and Coleman are not on the bench. If anyone hears anything about them on the broadcast, please post the information-Thanks

He was injured this summer and just recently started practicing again.
Thanks.
I wish we played towards our strengths more. More Cross inside and getting to the line. Forbes, Cook and Coleman really are the only guys that should be taking 3s consistently.
This team should never get an offensive rebound against us. Pathetic.
Lead down to 9 after Cook gambles and does not get the steal and misses two threes with nobody in any kind of position for an offensive rebound. Get the ball inside and to the line.
I think we're better without Cook. He plays very little defense and is a ball hog. One possession at the 13 minute mark he took the ball up the court and immediately jacked up a 3.
Cook for an easy basket at the hoop. It isn’t rocket science to realize we should just get to the basket. Drive and dish for 3 rather than just standstill jumpers.
Eureka. Lead at 13. Nothing but baskets inside.
Lead still at 13 with 1:33 to go.
It’s going to be an ugly year if we don’t play better.
We have no plan...everything we do is based on our athleticism. There was a possession late in the 2nd half where Cook dribbled the entire shot clock and took a 3 from the top of the key that was a brick. I just don't understand what our plan is.
