Again, shot selection is so important. They actually had good ball movement on that last one, but Ayo missed the open guy in the corner and missed a forced 3 instead.

When Kofi has the ball under the basket and tries to put up some finesse layup, i literally cringe every time. If i was him i would be dunking over people. Are the coaches not telling him this? Has he not looked in the mirror?

Once again Underwood is losing the coaching battle. There is no excuse for us taking play after play off against a big ten team. Has the team not looked at any other games in the league this year. Start lighting these guys' A***es up!

This is such a tired take.

How do you know BU didn't have a flawless, incredible plan that he presented at halftime....and the team isn't executing it?

Put the bench out there and give some starters a mental reset before this is more than a couple point difference.

Disagree. What is tired is our continual slow starts/sleep walking out of the locker room. Sorry.

This team lacks consistent effort and focus. Ayo bouncing the ball over his head on a fast break. Missing 6 straight free throws, including 2 1 and 1s. Is this something they can continue to overcome?

That's just it...you don't know what BU is doing at halftime. The team has to execute. They are not executing.

Because we arent as good as advertised. Turns, shooting and FTs are killing us.

Agree FT and jump shooting in general is big weakness of this team if they are not running and pushing the ball in transition they can be defended in the half court . You think they would feed the post but they do not not.

I'm sorry I guess you do. We can agree that the team certainly has to execute. But more than that they have to give consistent effort for 40 minutes each and every night.
