Cuts From The Corner: Maryland

Quick turnaround on this one so different approach - more stream of consciousness on the main points from the game and how relevant they seem moving forward.

vs. Maryland 12/20/2025
Hey everyone, really tough turn around with the next game just two days removed, and I wasn’t able to watch/record live… plus, it’s the holidays, so there really isn’t time …

Cuts From The Corner - UMES review - a regrouping on all of our individual players so far, through the lens of this game. An almost non-con progress report, if you will.

cutsfromthecorner.com/2025/12/15/v...
vs. Maryland Eastern Shore 12/9/2025
I pondered what I was going to do for this one because it’s another game against one of the worst teams in college basketball… after having just done well against two real tests. And we…

Cuts From The Corner - Dayton

Jacari, Ball Movement, Turnovers, Misc.

Thanks for reading!

vs. Dayton 12/6/2025
Fun thought exercise: If I told you that we would turn the ball over 21 times against Dayton, Malik Thomas would play 13 minutes, and TDR would struggle from the floor/finish with 7 points… w…

Cuts From The Corner (After Dark): Texas

Rotational strategy, defensive adjustments, some Johann Grunloh, and some cool offensive plays.

Thanks, as always, for your engagement!

@Texas 12/3/2025
Well, we beat the Q1 out of Texas… and bumped ourselves up to #15 in the NET in the process. I was confident we had the ability to win coming in; but I wasn’t expecting the absolute she…

Playing inside-out, defensive rebounding, Devin Tillis and Dallin Hall.

Let’s do a little level-setting here. Queens became a Division I school for the first time this year. That being said, they’re much closer to Marshall in terms of quality of competition…

Cuts From The Corner - Marshall

Scattering some thoughts around an impressive first half and some areas for improvement still.

cutsfromthecorner.com/2025/11/19/v...
vs. Marshall 11/15/2025
104 points! The first time we’ve scored 100 points in a game since, well, the last time we played Marshall. This game was a tale of two-halves. The first half, in which we scored 61 points an…

Malik Thomas, Ugonna Onyenso, our full-court pressure.

Thanks, as always, for your engagement!

cutsfromthecorner.com/2025/11/14/v...
vs. Hampton 11/11/2025
I would call this our best and most intentional performance of the season so far… and we were still pretty sloppy for the first 6-7 minutes of the game or so, and seemed to have some fatigue …

Dual Center lineup, the value of our rim protection, a look at some stuff we can (and will need to) clean up on both ends, especially defensively.

vs. North Carolina Central 11/7/2025
Hey everyone – let’s shake off those football blues with some Cuts! This was an odd game in which we led 36-10 after the first 13 minutes of the game and 70-40 with about 7 minutes left…

Tracking A Transfer: Malik Thomas

The longest piece (by like 2,000 words) in the history of the site which, if you're a reader (thank you), you know is saying something!
