I dont think Trent is the problem. Our offense doesn't do a great job of creating open looks from three this year, which is where trent thrives. He hasn't regressed. Just hasn't been a good fit in the 2019-20 version of this offense.

Officiating in this game is not the major problem....though it has been...as is tradition for ranked home teams....grossly in favor of the home team. My problem is just that. In 60+ years of watching B1G hoops, the home team, if standing in the top half of the league, has always received the majority of the calls. It is like the league does not try to make the correct calls but instead make calls to appease the home crowd. I know it sounds ridiculous but I am almost certain that tape review would prove just that, as well as the box scores of all such games over the years by looking at the column marked PF or plain F. The home team has vastly fewer over the years and that is a fact. For what reason would a team foul 2 or 3 times more on the road than at home? Please answer that question, Mr. Commissioner.

I'm going to play devil's advocate here. I feel like we played better without Kofi. Giorgi doing more of what he did last year, and scoring. Offense has seemed to move more fluidly, and he wasn't exactly a rebound machine while he was playing. Thoughts?
I thought same thing. GB a more crafty against better competition. Simple matter of experience. Kofi will get there. Right now we’re better with GB at the 5.

Wow........they could've gave Giorgi that one to make up a bit for the one on Frazier

One major fault that Underwood has, he always goes with the starting line up in the second half, we have zero energy

Let me reiterate that. Sit 21. Play 15 at the five and get 0 on the floor.

Kofi needs to go straight up and just start dunking on people when he's that far underneath the basket

How come when a player takes a long time at the free throw line,they usually miss it ?

And the crap ref got to watch his crap call over and over again figuring out how much time was left on the clock.

Refs at the table:
"Gee Bob, you really screwed that one up"
"Well it was bad, but your missed goaltending call was pretty bad too, so I don't feel that bad - well at least we're keeping Tommy happy"

If there is any time for Kofi to accidentally hit a ref in the head, it's now.

Kofi and Giorgi playing together is not the problem, execution is. Who else you going to play at the 4?
