I only have to watch when a 6’10 defender pokes the ball away from your stat sheet stuffer and he proceeds to walk after it and allows Mac to add to his YouTube channel. Then he is one of the first players I have seen to try and take a charge on a jumper from the free throw line for a three point play. I expect what I saw from Tevian as a freshman. Kipper’s effort and mental mistakes at the end of a close game is what I wouldn’t expect from a R-JR that is supposedly a leader. I could be wrong, but I will bet there is enough young talent on this team that if Kipper’s effort and consistency don’t improve he will move down the lineup. We talk about BU’s coach speak in the media a lot. I do know that BU won’t put up with piss poor effort no matter who it is.
What about Ayo and Feliz throwing the ball away 8 times? What about AJ doing almost nothing all game? What about BU's defensive system that consistently gives up a high shooting %? Why are we trying to pressure McClung when he can't shoot and burns us on a drive time after time? Why does Kipper have the ball in his hands at the top of the key with the shot clock winding down dribbling aimlessly? Take a timeout?
You can point fingers at a ton of different things. But to point them at 1 guy for 2 bad plays just doesn't seem fair, especially considering he did a lot of good things in this game.
