Posters were asking why all the threes? The let us shoot them. They put Kofi with three guys around him. Teams we have played continue to do it. Just can’t shoot threes.
We got the ball to them in the 1st half and not the second. Kofi got offensive rebounds in the 1st not in the 2nd. Giorgi no touches in the paint in the 2nd except for the flop on Rutgers. Too many 3’s in the 2nd half by the guards and forced shots in the paint. Game plan wasn’t the problem execution was got away from it in the 2nd half. Unfortunately Kofi plays like a freshman a lot lately
Well i agree with some of this. Clearly GB didnt shoot a 3 today so something must have finally been said which needed to be said. I also think if BU calls a set to get the ball to GB in the post more they could have. I am not thinking all the threes was by design but the coach can stop that and look inside, Ill give you that they did miss some good open looks from three i was fine with, I think it was pretty clear the game plan was to go inside in the first half was overlooked to some degree in the second half, Maybe they had sets called to get the ball inside to the bigs and if they did and didnt execute it then your correct. It didnt appear to be the case in the second half but maybe it was.I think there's a tendency to confuse coaching vs execution error. I'm sure BU didn't have 30 threes lined up in his game plan. I'm confident that the plan was to work inside out. The guards have to execute that. Interior passing has been an issue all year. Getting to the basket has not. That's been a strength. Rutgers has big, long, athletic guards with very active hands.
The guards, less Ayo, got outplayed badly. I think it's really that easy. Rutgers took us out of everything we "wanted" to do.
Sometimes.....it's just a kudos and a hat tip to the other guy.
Sorry for saying what i said. Frustrated that Ayo was out today. They played hard. Just wish they had stayed more focused on feeding the post and played to our strength and not our current weaker area of shooting 3s. Here is a link i love with a good video of Hutch and his length and his soft shot i am looking forward too we could have used today.Don’t disagree just that there are many more examples of low level transfers that dont pan out. All I really care about is, hating on anybody is far from what I said, Both will get a chance, and I hope your correct never seen either play. I do know Curbello and Miller are very HIGH level recruits coming from HS. Anyways let’s just hope your right on this one.
They are not , okay. They won;t win Tues, And don't tell me Indiana and Iowa are gimmees because they are not. I said there's a chance they could lose next 5, before Iowa. Not negative i follow college bb and have a good perspective of other teams. And if they don't start playin some freakin' defense again they are in trouble.
No no bud, don’t be sorry at all, just simple internet confusion on what each of us were trying to say. I really, I mean really, hope your right. Just did not want you or anyone to think I was hating on a kid I admit I have never seen play. Good article thanks!Sorry for saying what i said. Frustrated that Ayo was out today. They played hard.

Trouble tracking logic in this post, ref "if not"...so we are going to the dance if we lose?We have to win at Penn... If not we're going to the dance, plain and simple
I think with Ayo out, Brad is dangerously close to losing this team. I thought he had a good game plan but the team on the floor failed to execute. In the post-game, he noted that guys were playing extended minutes and in those minutes a lot of mistakes were made because of the extra things they were being asked to do. It disrupted their flow. One mistake would lead to another. Maybe doing more substitutions would be a better answer than leaving things to go long. I'm not sure. Those two scoring droughts in the second half were PAINFUL. It was like a slow death by papercuts. We know they are better than that. If we lose to PSU, I think the mental part of the game will push us into another loss in one of those "gimmies", just not sure which one. Feliz and Frazier I trust but Giorgi, Alan, Tev, and Kip I'm not sure about (especially on defense). One of them needs to step it up in a serious way. And play some gosh darn defense.
Well, the players have to execute, too. This would not be the first time an elite defensive team has disrupted their opponent’s game plan. (And if you’re wondering about the “elite” part, Rutgers is 11th in adjusted defensive efficiency this year.)GB and Kofi were 7 for 16 and got the the line from 2, It was not hard to get GB the ball. Your right though for the little guys those are tough shots. Thats the coaches job to make sure the right guys get the ball right?

we did not drive in. Very weak mentally. Team needs on court leadershipPosters were asking why all the threes? The let us shoot them. They put Kofi with three guys around him. Teams we have played continue to do it. Just can’t shoot threes.
