Respectfully disagree. Need to call Perrin up from the bench so he can share this gem in his native tongue: <<Le mayonnaise n'a pas pris.>> (Literally, "The mayo didn't come together.") The ingredients are there, but some oil and egg yokes could probably shoot better.

In Brad’s defense, I’m not sure which guy is playing well…
I’m not sure he made it on the bus today.

Barnhizer looks like a guy named "Barnhizer" should look.
I've heard it mentioned that the analytics show 3 pointers and layups are best. Is that actually our game plan? Is our offense really built around that? It clearly doesn't work. And based on our free throw attempt total, it seems like they are actively trying not to drive the ball and draw contact.
And to think I gave up Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy for this.
Maybe they should opt out of the rest of the games.

That's not the only reason.
We play sloppy and reach when we're desperate. If Harris doesn't get that T, I think this game looks different. He's a freshman. He'll learn to keep his mouth shut and channel his competitiveness in other ways
MM tried tonight. Got called for it
Mayer bailed out there on what is called an Offensive foul 90% of the time.

GF3 would be a more appropriate counterpart to this game.
Ayo stuffed KD and the Bulls beat a streaking Nets team.
Puget Sound represent
The body language of Shannon and Mayer was that they were both ready to be out of this game.
It's Lieb time
Yes, we needed a 3. No, that wasn't the one...

I hate to say this, but I am starting to wonder about BU? Why are players just allowed to continue to stay in the game when they continue to just chuck it up? We will shoot 30 3’s in this game. At some point the head coach needs to pull them out (who ever the player) and sit them on the bench.
For those young posters on here, Lou used to get totally abused for sitting players after bad shots, but it works to send the message. “You don’t want to run our offense, then you get a good view of the the game from the bench?
Underwood has lost this team, next year will be very interesting (hard to believe I am talking about next year on January 4th) when we have all new players again.
Not sure the experimenting with the offense and defense every year only to realize 15 games in that what you thought was the scheme must be scraped every year? We were kidding ourselves to think that going man and spread was the answer. We simply are not a team right now and at some point the coach must be held accountable for that I think?

Yeah, that was the 3pt shot we needed...
Hawkins…
Not just today. It’s a trend lately. Just give me five players out there that have fire and want to play hard. Instead we have lazy play with lazy effort. Nothing to be proud of here.
Our new bus is seen below.
I can't blame them. I wanted to be out of this game and I was watching it from my couch.
