Mayer was brutal the whole game, couldn’t catch the ball, defend, dribble or shoot- yet he kept hurting the team every chance he got
This. I expect that when the dust clears, whatever drama happened with MM and Skyy was a key to this year, both in performance and expectations.
This worries me too. He is a point getter. If we lose Epps, Cohawk, MM and TJS we will be replacing 80% of our offense gain. I do not think Harris and Ty suddenly become knock down shooters next year, IMHO. That leaves you RJ and Goode. Who knows with DD, hopefully he can develope into a consistent10pt per night guy. We are going to have to strike gold in the portal. We could be very young and offensively challenged yet again next year.
Well they did turn heads right? I mean so many of those turnovers, forced 3s, and bonehead shots turned my head and Chuck was obviously shocked at the pathetic nature of our care for the ball based on what he said from the studio after the game.
I want him and TSJ back bad. This team had chemistry issues, and my novice take is it clearly wasn’t the fault of these two, and both are talented. I’ll defer to insiders, but if we need some guys to leave to start fresh and get back on track … I think Coleman would be a tough loss.
It was kind of a fitting end for him. He was critical to so much of our “success” later in the year but it seems like few of us ever bought his act. Good for him. He got paid.
TSJ has all the talent in the world but I don’t think he’ll ever have that dog mentality that’s needed to be truly great.
You love these players individually? I like four: Goode, Rogers, Epps, and Lieb. The rest consistently never showed up to play and weren't prepared. That's largely coaching too, btw. So pathetic.
Maybe not, and especially not in an Ayo “alpha” role. But he’s a great player, and I’ll be frank - I’d kill to see him on a more functional team with a better locker room.
Exactly my feelings tonight I usually would've left work early to watch. I stayed right at my desk and watched on my phone the whole game. Exactly the performance I expected this afternoon. I'm not salty or majorly disappointed like previous seasons I expected this and braced for it. This team was the epitome of mediocre this season.
I want players who want to be here and can be coached. Sometimes there may be a reason you are open (other team wants you to be the one) just like there may be a reason they head to the portal. We are the University of Illinois and will have top recruits. Quitters Quit, The enemy of great is good and those who don't want to be here .... dont let the door hit you .$$ on the way out. BU will get us there. We will stack classes. The culture took a hit this year and this will get corrected.
As far as I can remember, the only time there was any accountability the entire season, as far as PT goes, was Mayer sitting for the last several minutes of the game today. Where was that discipline throughout the season? BU's a lot of bark, no bite. No accountability. No real expectations.
I agree with the philosophy, but entering year 7 next fall, BU will have signed 1 guard that has made it to year 3 in the program. 1. That’s unreal.
Yes…definitely to both. I like both of them
I would take it even more granular and say that the period of time when Meyer was playing without his shoe and nobody on the bench thought enough (or cared enough) to toss it to him during the first stoppage in play is a microcosm of our entire team culture.
