Not to argue, but So Miss plays with guards and wing players. Williams was the biggest guy on the floor & was mismatched defensively. So Miss only had 6 offensive rebounds and most of those were off of long bounces from missed 3pt attempts. We didn’t lose because of rebounding. We didn’t turn them over enough (tough to do when all 5 can handle) and they shot the 3 better than we did.
Because if you don’t play him, you play George. We needed Williams’ offense over what slight improvement George would give us defensively.
CJ Burks played a lot worse than Jannson.
& im not saying he’s a good defender/rebounder. Just that there were more important things we didn’t do AS A TEAM that cost us the game. 3pt defense is one of those things.
Of course he had a terrible game as a big man - that's not the kind of player he is.
Correct he doesn’t suit up....he wears a T Shirt.
Meaning of Nervous - easily agitated or alarmed; tending to be anxious, maybe Anxious is what I should have said... What I witnessed was southern miss tightened up the D and Marshall couldn’t handle it, they knew they had to start scoring and they cracked, the plays weren’t setup and they were “nervously” trying to get a open shot which resulted in missed shots or a turnover... so either they were Nervous or trying way to hard to let Jon get a open shot off... way to much dribbling and way to many forced shots... southern miss Defense did what they had to do and Marshall couldn’t handle it, coach should have changed gears and calmed them down with about 5mins left in the game... but it’s all history now and I’m not the coach... great season and congrats to the strong finish!!
does he need to improve on his defense? Yes. Does everyone on this team? Yes. Was he playing out of position all year against players who are at their natural position and who outweigh him by probably a minimum of 30 lbs? YES. He is NOT a post player, but had to because Danny asked him too.
