It’s a tough place for BU, he totally screwed up constructing this team, but in today’s game it is tough to win without the 3? All I can figure is try booty ball and get the other teams best shooters in foul trouble? We are just such a poorly constructed team it is tough to watch?

You're a good guy, I'm sure, but I'm sorry....they've got to shoot open shots and they have to make them. That's it. End of story. Tomi is useless out there today night.

If we're just shooting decently from 3.....5:eek:f 16. We're down 2.

That's it. The offense is running fine. His guys don't believe that they make shots and confidence is everything when shooting it. They need to see a few go down.

Don't overanalyze. Need to make open looks and HAVE to rebound. Tomi has gotten rooted out time and after time.

No sane person wants him fired, but it may be best for everyone if he just leaves on his own.

And continue the path towards hoping for mediocrity . . . .

Lol someone should tell brad I think he thought we were in 3 point shooting contest and going for the over of playing the players that shouldn't be on the court for the longest

Best frosh we have had since I have been a fan = 30 years. Our stops are not stops until we get the rebound and it aint happening because Rez is hanging out at the end of the bench with his shades on.

Kylan was mouthing off to him. For what reason, who knows. Look at the scoreboard.

I think Kylan's done a nice job on Flagg, and ticked him off. But apparently Flagg gets ticked off a lot.

Dude enough backing this crap. This team is not good and people need to accept it, don't make excuses for them. If he can't play to his best, then he shouldn't play, he's just taking up space out there right now. These kids are getting paid too much while getting a free education, stop giving them excuses for horrible performances.

I think one of the reasons we miss so many 3s is lot of them are off the dribble. Those are hard shots to make.

Our offense is Will Riley ISO drives to the basket or mid range, and step back off the dribble 3s. There’s very little else we do

If Brad stays, I hope he has learned that you can’t win with a freshman dominated team with weak transfers. That’s been done once and at Kentucky.

Because if he repeats another year like this, he will need to be fired.

This is really a Tim Beckman take. I don’t want to be rude. If this was one off night where out shots didn’t fall, then you can say, yeah if we hit our average tonight be different.

This has been an ongoing problem all season. And our coach continues to double down on a bad strategy.

Can we pull an Oregon-esque half out of our a$$ in the 2nd tonight. Not real hopeful, but it is what we need

I get the argument that you have to shoot open 3’s, but at some point maybe those 3’s are open because the other team is giving them to you….because you’re not good at shooting them?

Like if Ty Rodger’s was wide open for a 3, I don’t want him shooting it… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
