Didn't watch, but Dernbach must have done a master class of getting his team ready to go in a big game on their home floor once again.

Quote from: ChickenHoops on February 12, 2026, 08:30:02 AMThat Point loss was excruciatingly painful. 

When Heather left the casita this morning for work, she asked me if I thought Uttech might have defended that inbound better. I told her I would ask the board but that some of you would be salty about the question. Told her I'd tell her what you all thought when she stops back at noon. 

Is this a serious question?  I certainly can't tell based on all these scenarios that you bring to this forum.  You have a 6'4"/6'5" guy with long arms and can jump out the gym guarding the inbound...and lets switch it for a guy who is 6'1" and isn't a leaper by any stretch of the imagination.  Your obsession with Uttech is a little weird. 

This forum has gotten ridiculous and less and less about basketball.  Have fun learning about "Heather."

Point deserved to lose tonight.  When you decide not to show up until about 2 minutes left in the first half, you deserve to lose.  When you get beat to loose balls repeatedly all game long, you deserve to lose.  They have everything to play for and you can't lose to the last place team in the league.

Point lost the conference title tonight because they aren't going 3-0 against Whitewater, La Crosse and Oshkosh.  I think all 3 of those teams are playing better than Point is right now.

Side note, why in the heck is Isaiah Moore never leaving the bench?  He can give you solid minutes and some length on the wing.  That makes zero sense to me.

Batavia(IL) G, Xavier Justice, has committed to Oshkosh.

6'5" Oswego(IL) G/F, Brayden Borrowman, has committed to Oshkosh.

6'3" Chequamegon G, Cooper Michalski, has committed to play basketball at River Falls.

I didn't start watching until about the 12 minute mark in the 2nd half, but it's all I needed to see.  Point is obviously a much different team without a natural post like Krohn.  With that said, it was about the most pathetic defensive effort I have seen at the college level.

Point takes down WW but looks to be at huge cost, Krohn went down early and it looked bad.  He couldn't put weight on his leg and was helped off the floor.  He was on crutches on the sideline.

Side note, it looks like Tyshawn Teague-Johnson has some animosity towards his former teammates as he got T'ed up talking trash after blocking a shot.

6'8" Illinois Valley Central F, Brady Ward, has committed to Platteville.

Quote from: Greek Tragedy on December 20, 2025, 06:59:51 PMPoint leads Hardin-Simmons 38-22 at the break. Can't let up on the gas, we know what can happen. Butler with 13 and 7. Crohn with 10. Point is 4-8 from 3, but just 4-10 from the line. HSU has had a lot of good looks, but they just haven't fallen so far. Point is dominating the rebounding again, 27-14. Keep it up.

They let off the gas.

Quote from: tomt4525 on November 29, 2025, 08:09:22 PMThis Point team has mostly been solid on the offensive end but can't guard anybody to save their lives.  North Park was able to get to the rim whenever they wanted to.  The first half lead vanished because Point struggled to break the press for about an 8 minute stretch.

They will have to outscore teams this year if the first few games are indicative of this team moving forward.  Which is pretty sad knowing where Point's tradition came from on the defensive end.

Do you see this as a personnel issue?  Good guys but not defensive oriented and can't be coached up?  Somewhat hard to believe.

It's a personnel issue and a bad matchup issue.  There isn't one kid on Point's roster that I would consider "quick" for their position.  Combs is quick but I wouldn't say he is overly quick for a point guard.  Because of this, any team with quick, athletic guards will give them fits from keeping them out of the lane.  You also don't have a big athlete waiting in the lane to alter shots either.  Outside of Krohn, nobody on the roster has the size for athletic guards to worry about at the rim.  Losing Moore to injury and Tyshawn-Teague Johnson to transfer really puts this issue to light.

Quote from: Greek Tragedy on November 26, 2025, 02:35:24 PMI noticed Point recruit from Downer's Grove North, Bobby Grganto, not on the roster anymore. He was pictured on crutches prior to the start of the season.

Any idea, Tomt4525, PauldingLightUp? 

He's still on the team, but he's injured for the year.  He had knee surgery for an injury that happened in high school, he's basically redshirting this year.

Point has been so bad on the defensive end so far tonight that they switched to a halfcourt zone for part of the 2nd half.  There will be some soul searching on the defensive end in the next tape watching session.  Getting caught behind screens over and over and over.
