Who is the leader of the program? Is he not responsible for cultivating player leaders? This is the most talented roster he's had here at IL -according to his own words. Why no consistency? Why do we play up/down to the competition? Are Ayo and Kofi not elite players? They are both in the final 20 Wooden Watch. When is it the right time to hold BU accountable for the team's play? We've all seen what they are capable of, even this week.
How bout we dish out a few million and let you sort this out.
This isn’t an easy “Underwood is a failure” type problem. Motivation is a tricky thing. The players need to dig deep and decide they want it. Why can’t every player be like Lucas Johnson? Cause there is only one Lucas Johnson! It’a not universal.

Adam Miller weak pass and foul to open 2nd half. Yep, pump the brakes. 😂

My honest opinion, since you asked...no, Kofi is not an elite player. We yell at him to dunk, to get off the floor, to move...I don't think he's explosive enough athletically to do those things. It's why he's not on NBA draft radars. I think we're unfair, to a point, to Kofi because I don't think he's physically capable of being dominant against other really good big guys. Thst said, he's a very good college player. Just not elite. Ayo is an elite college player, but sometimes he gets lost. That first half vs Iowa, he was electric, thus so was the whole team. Today, he's missing layups, getting caught under the basket...it's not the same guy we saw vs Iowa and Indiana has far less talent than Iowa. He's a junior now. He wants to be a lottery pick. He's got to show it. As Ayo and Kofi go, this team goes, which is status quo for any team. They're as good as their best players play.

This was the best 5 on the floor vs. Iowa. Let's see if Curbelo can get it turned around.

Miller Damonte should ride the pine both do nothing. Five minutes to others.

Our two best players are playing so soft.
