So how do we get rid of Tyler? What job exists that could entice him to leave?

I hope you’re right, and it’s important to remember that everyone here also hopes that. But the way we are playing, the casual mistakes … this goes beyond missed shots that might start to go in.
I think Boswell is good, he just isn't the three point sniper he seems to think he is. He can get hot and hit a few but we can't have him continually putting up 5 or more threes when he is not hitting. Just kills the offense and any momentum we are trying to build. He has many other ways he can contribute and needs to concentrate on them. I think with KJ being good at step back threes he feels the need to put up more himself.
Man, this board. All of you need to take a step back from the le….
Psych! Haha jk, this is @$!ked. Honestly, the mission is to somehow get to 12-8 and to saturday of the BTT. Disgusting.

Yep, as do you. Save your sarcasm. This team has serious issues and is in a downward trajectory without Tomi and a lot of freshmen playing big minutes in high stress situations. Help me see us not unraveling.
Too many messages to read through so apologies if this was already said. KJ’s live ball turnovers are brutal. Half the time it is not him trying to make a spectacular play, he will literally just lose the ball or have it poked out. The narrative is you have to “live” with some of his turnovers since he is trying to force action but seems like more times that not, it is just lackadaisical basketball.
Can’t remember ever having a bigger black hole to throw the ball into. Throw it to him and you can guarantee it’s not coming back.
I can’t believe a guy who started every game on an elite eight team wasn’t good enough to play on this team 
Meanwhile, Izzo is giving a middle finger to all the teams that keep turning their roster over due to NIL as he sits at the top the B1G.
Cannot be understated that KJ is clearly still hurt. His attacking is night and day different from before the injury.
True, but we're pi$$ing down our leg at what was perceived to be the "easy" part of our schedule. Do you feel comfortable with ANY games left on our schedule after what we've seen the last couple of weeks? If we get TI back, it would restore some order, but right now.....this is a free fall.
In every year, pretty much, yes, we've had a seriously good alpha. Being a 2nd-rate alpha doesn't make one a good second option. I don't know what you are arguing.
On top of everything else I said, you can tell even by Mayer's rebounding numbers that the effort just wasn't there.
He wasn't starting at the end of the year at U of A last year, Rumors in the AZ Republic paper were that he and the coach weren't getting along. He can be a good player at times, but my opinion is he doesn't give 100% much of the time. Watched most of the U of A games last year, because I live in AZ, and he wasn't close to being the best player on the team (in the last third of the year)

Ben transferring after this year??? Please give us some good news, we need it
No kidding. Can Jeff Brown come in for a bit of consulting?
It’s actually embarrassing people are in here insinuating we need to fire BU or force him to let go TU and/or Stamer because this team is underperforming.
Have we seriously lost perspective? I know it’s a message board and this is what happens in message boards, but some in here need to seriously relax.

We don't have to sign anyone we don't want
Ah, the good old, "I'm-a-professional-chef-so-don't-tell-me-when-the-food-tastes-awful argument". I may not be the gourmet chef when I go to a fancy restaurant, but when the lasagna is inedible, I think I'm justified to say so. Right now, this team is awful...even if I've never coached a team. (BTW, I'm far from an Insider here.)
His ball handling is awful and his turnovers have nothing to do with injury. They are unforced and needless.
Unfortunately, it sure seems like Ben has lost so much confidence that he can't make a shot when it counts. This is not something that likely gets turned around this season.
Like I said, unless something crazy changes, he ain't back next year
