1 - Lack of Defense - the guys have to sag into the middle because of the height problem - defense is "be pick your poison" - let teams get looks from 3 or over power us in the middle.
2 - fouling is a result of being out of position - unfortunately when you over compensate in one area, sagging into the middle, fouling is going to happen.
3 - Han looked flat to me - at the beginning of the 21-0, he commited 2 connsecutive turnovers after McCrae from Fordham hit a well guarded 3 with Han in his face. That run ended the game.
4 - FU started strong - -up 18-17 before Fordham hit 2 quick 3s and Han had 2 turnovers.
5 - Allen looked ok but as a spare part right now. Looks/plays young.
6 - Todd played ok on D but needs to take the team on his back. He can blow by people and shoot - he need to be the guy to step up and stop big runs by other teams - if Fordham is on a 21-0 run, i want it to be because TT missed 6-7 shots in that run.
7 - Carter is a role player being asked to do too much right now. He works hard and is taking lumps that might be too much to ask for underclassman to take. Reedal appears to have some skills but looks physically over matched as a 4-5. He looks to be more 6'4" than 6'6". He might be ok as a "3" but as a freshman and being asked to play out of position, he doesn't look so good. Middleton looks big and awkward and can't shoot. At the end of the game he scored 2 baskets by running the floor. If he does this more and gets a little confidence by getting some easy baskets, he he might become serviceable.

Lack of defense Joe, in my opinion had a lot to do with too much double and triple teaming, and also pressing too much, leaving players way out of position. (very much like you saw in GT game). A press is always going to give up some easy baskets, but is sussessful only if you receive enough dividends in return in the form of steals for layups, or the disruption of other teams offense, and the personel on this team does not seem to be able to make this work, at least not now.
