I don't know man. Brad should pull these players (Jayden, Coleman, etc...) that decide the best plan on offense is to jack up 25-30 footers. I'm convinced Coleman thinks that he gets more points the further that he shoots the ball. Brad needs to rip into this team and tell them that we are shooting WAY too many shots that we can get whenever we want them. But he just lets those same culprits play and jack up stupid shots that occasionally go in.

Why do you think they’re so inconsistent? Tons of talent.

Every time people are confident we are going to win going into a game, we lay a dud. This team just does not have the mental makeup to win consistently. Looks like another early BTT exit and NCAA exit this year.

Yep. We can beat any team and lose to any team. No change from yesterday.

He didn't really have much impact on the game, but I've been wanting to type this:
No likey Likekele.
Thought maybe that would help make this game feel better. It did not.

What do you think he says to them? And if you sat everyone who didn’t run the offense on this team you’d struggle to get five guys on the floor.. it starts from the top and Mayer and Shannon are two of the worst offenders.
Please get some transfer shooters next year.
Gonna need them if Brad wants to run the Iowa type offense.

What have you seen that shows otherwise?
Tons of talent yes, but half of our rotation are first year guys. Next year it will be an easier transition due to bringing back more guys. Still think this team can go on a run in March Madness, but who knows

From a timing standpoint, this loss hurts the most. It was a road game though, and if you don't bring it, this is what happens.
BUT this was far from the worst loss of the year. The Mizzou loss was far and away the worst loss of the year for me, followed by the crash to reality loss at home to Penn St after beating Texas.
If the team spirals after today's loss, then I will agree with you. Otherwise, this is simply recency bias in full motion.
Regroup and beatdown Mich, then play with nothing to lose at Purdue. Still a lot of basketball ahead, despite what doomsdayers say after a bad loss to a young OSU team.
It isn't like the game opens with a double digit deficit. The team puts itself in a position to have to mount huge comebacks.
I counter with a vote for Mizzou loss
Sorry, this is a REALLY bad tOSU team and Shannon should be fresh. This team is just mediocre at best
Mayer's on the floor because he shoots well. He's one of the best shot creators in the nation, and its not close, we live with him. I agree, TSJ needs to get a grip and realize he's just better going down hill than shooting the ball. That's on Brad to let him know his role on this team. But that should've been done in November, not March.
And probably a true PG as well. They are so disorganized on offense.Please get some transfer shooters next year.
Up to this point this team is Brads greatest failure. Perhaps if we could see the behind the scenes situation I’d say the opposite, but from a distance…massively underachieving group that doesn’t reflect their coach’s culture.
At least our team gets to participate in March Madness, but my lord is this team poorly coached. These players have no idea what to do or where to be out there. Just a bunch of desperate one on one. Puts way too much pressure on Shannon and TSJ when we play like that. Underwood's rotation are also brutal. Just throwing darte.
The proverbial straw. I’m officially checking out til next season. I was actually dumb enough to think after UCLA and Texas that this team was 89, 05 capable . Couldn’t have been more wrong. Play with a low b-ball IQ. No mental toughness. No urgency. Unable to force their will on a 3-14 opponent. Despite everyone in the free world knowing what you need to do offensively and defensively the players and the coach seem clueless. We don’t punch anyone in the mouth but are the recipient of such punches. Will not be shocked at all if we don’t win another game this year. That includes big ten tourney and NCAA tournament. Blame goes pretty much all around but Brad has to take the brunt of it as this has gone on for most of the second half of season.
I agree... but Shannon and TSJ are the same person lol
