We don’t lose this game with Coleman, Sencire, and Ty on the roster.

You cannot convince me this wasn't done on purpose. I tried to replicate this by rolling up a paper towel that had a TJ written on it (I know, it's silly). You have to TRY to get it wrong. Rolling up something that big it would take a kindergartner not to figure it out. Has you roll it up it would naturally unroll slightly and you would be able to tell it was upside down. This was a colossal effort to get back at TSJ in my opinion.

Plus.... They JUST did the same thing with Kofi.

This team shouldn’t be allowed to shoot more than 15 3s per game
And they don’t need to. That Riley to Morez slip screen in the first half worked tk perfection three plays in a row. They had the inside play and Morez was getting fouled. They just decided not to go with it. Will always finds a way to get in close to the basket and score or get fouls. They stopped doing it. 🤷🏼

I wasn't there, so I don't know all the facts, but I'd like to believe after a cooling-off period and consequence issued, that the "conversation" of which Sharpshot16 types of would take place and the "moving on, looking forward" theme would prevail. Let's see.
I would also think that if you have a dysfunctional offense and defense you would make the necessary adjustments if you're a college basketball coach worth your salt, let alone a coach receiving a top-ten-in-the-country salary. I would also think that after we threw multiple games earlier this season by playing Ben 30+ minutes that Brad would realize that doesn't work and not do it anymore. Yet the box score from yesterday's game stands. Eventually you have to face the fact that our coach is who he is. Expecting a miraculous personality/mentality change at this point isn't realistic. Does that mean a miracle won't happen? No. But I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Let Ivisic get healthy and hope that Tyler and Hamer miss their flights to March Madness. We could make noise but it seems like this will go down as the team with so much untapped potential but with underwhelming results thanks to subpar coaching.
Haven’t listened yet to the presser yet to know more, but was there last night and Ivisic did not look close to full speed.

If I’m recruiting vs Illinois I’m saying “look at all that talent they have and look at their record. That’s coaching”

When we couldn’t hit a shot we couldn’t even get a rebound. When they missed MSU got the rebounds

Earlier in the game we got about 50% of the rebounds.

That makes me think we were tired. We need to use a 9 to 10 man rotation. Until everyone is healthy and condition

Not to pile on, and there's plenty of fodder that deserves discussion, but when we were up early, I marveled at the beautiful basketball and Morez making a statement. Then I realized we were up 15 and the red flags came. Playing more relaxed, not attacking, and I felt the dread. Seeing the 15 point lead drip drip drip down to nothing, to being behind, to the awful finish just made me realize there's something wrong with the team. One or two games, yeah you can find excuses, and we have many of them. But there's a trend in there as well.

Winning cures almost everything, and we're in the opposite boat. The jersey thing...ugh what can you say.

I don’t even get the upside down jersey. How are you getting that ready and fastened and putting the cover around it and going, “yep, everything looks good, all ready”. How many people worked to make sure that moment was perfect? No one noticed?

This presser is the first time I've noticed nervousness in BU's voice and overall demeanor of his body language..........still a lot of the usual blah , blah , blah coach spin.........

Let's see if he plays Tre in the next game.......Let's see if DGL plays more than Ben................ The old adage of " the proof is in the pudding " scenario still stands and if he doesn't play Tre at all or DGL doesn't get more tick , then my support for BU RIGHT NOW goes on life support........I'm tired of " give all the credit in the world to ABC or XYZ " )..........

those answers are lame and an avoidance to what needs to be said ...............HONEST ANSWERS TO WHY WE ARE LOSING TO TEAMS IN THE MANNER WE ARE.......Also why we can't extend our big leads against non cupcake teams.................

I have so many questions on why we play so stupidly against inferior opponents.......

BTW , I feel so sorry that KJ had to endure the painful situation this presser put him in.......I really really really do.........

I now have an emptiness in my heart where joy and happiness once resided.................

To be fair, when MSU was over the foul limit with 13 minutes to go, he should have had 10 second have foul shots. He handles the ball the most and is supposedly a lottery pick. He needs to be the guy who takes us home and it's not happening. Why? This shouldn't even be a discussion. We lack serious leadership and I think that it's supposed to be coming from him, on and off the floor. He's getting a bit of a free ride from the fans.

If Tre has been benched for something other than health, why not make an announcement saying "White has been suspended 2 games for violating team rules".
Instead he just languishes on the bench and everyone speculated as to why.
In the old days, fans had to just trust coaches decisions, but now we actually pay these kids through our donations.
We have the right to know why a six figure investment is sitting there with his warmup on, while a dog tired starting five is letting a game slip away.

This is so true. And for those attacking other players just remember in whose hands the ball is always in.

In a perfect world we could hire Chris Beard & keep Geoff, Antigua, & Fletch.
