KJ only has 3 official TO. Good game for him

That's precisely it. That last turnover went to no one in particular. Clearly he thought someone would be there.
This is not a hard game. Brad refuses to put belt to a** with this team, Stop the stupid 3 point barrage. That is not this team's identity. More than half of our shots in the first half were 3's. We saw Sunday that this team is at its best when we attack the hoop. When will Brad make the adjustment and sit the players that refuse to attack the hoop.
Then his frustration foul 3 seconds later was even worse.
Idc what anyone has to say... with how bad we looked, being down 6 at that point is a total blessing.
12 on the game clock, no shot clock(!!!).... the only thing you CANNOT do is let them score. Take a bad shot... just awful sequence right there... just kills it for me.
You can make up for the inexperience of who you have on the coaching staff calling the offense and the defense if the team is filled with veterans/seniors like what we had last year, but this year with these young kids. Nope.
One more three attempt than two attempts. Absolute pathetic game plan for a team that is shooting 28% in conference play and won the second half of OSU by 14 freakin points while shooting 5 of them. Just terrible.

I sure hope our team listens to the advice from Raphael Davis- stop shooting 3's, attack the hoop.
I swear Brad and Tyler have brainwashed this team to shoot as many 3's in a game as they can..
At the end of the game we will have shot 35 3's and Brad will probably say he wishes we shot 55

Very good chance if we play like we did in that 1H ... That Minnesota team plays with the fire in their belly ... Especially at the Barn ...
Yep, KJ has been as frustrating as anyone because he is so capable if he just would not rush.
As I keep saying, it’s not who you play it’s when you play them. On Saturday Michigan played Rutgers without Harper and was able to grind out a win. Of course we get them when he comes back so now we have to contend with 2 of the best big wings in the conference. Oh, and we get them when our best big wing defender, Tre White, is out.
Also why can’t we shoot?

Kylan's playing his butt off tonight. I get it, he missed a wide open 3 and had a bad turnover, but he also has 7 rebounds, 2 steals, and his defense kept us in the game long enough to only be down 8. I'll never boo a player who is playing with effort and he's trying hard out there.
THIS. 10000%
I f***ing love this and couldn’t agree more.
Wonder if we can get a 2nd for Tre White by the deadline
He's been front ending many foul shots. That's a sign of something being way off.
Rutgers has NO matchup for Tommy or Morez. Abuse them down low, and when the double inevitably comes, kick to a wide open shooter on the outside. Those are the three pointers we can live with. Jake Davis serves no spot on this team, he should not see minutes over Carey Booth. Did I miss where Tre White was announced as out tonight?
Name checks out
Right now KJs ridiculous TOs are killing us
I don't know if I've ever seen anything like this recent stretch of complete ineptitude from 3pt range. We have to be on some pace to set a school record. I just have zero confidence that the ball is going to go in when we put up a shot behind the arc. For the posters complaining that we're shooting too many 3's, sure, some of them have been ill advised or rushed. But any team is going to have a low ceiling if they can't make wide open 3's.
I could see this team go one and done in the Big Dance.
You realize the entire offensive game plan is to launch 3s - he’s said this many times. I’ve never seen a team play to their weaknesses like Illinois. That’s on Brad.
