Unless you want to give them growth serum so someone grows a few inches, it's really difficult. They're trying to attack but they aren't going to just run into dudes every time either.

We may be an 8 seed. There I said it.
I'm rooting for a 6. That's not hyperbole either. I dont trust us down the stretch

Yeah, we lose this game and we need to have a serious talk about the direction of the season.
Literally no 5 on the court for 15 minutes of game time. I'm not sure other than DGL and KJ that there's been any dribble penetration.
That's not true. The last few possessions sucked but Nebraska is only shooting only 38%. We are shooting g 28%. Out D kept us close until the last few minutes. Hopefully Morez can help. Trey had 10 boards and os playing hard. Just gotta make shots.
Season ends if we lose this game. Losing 3/4 including USC and Nebraska. Insane. SO much for COTY Brad...
Zero offense run, zero effort, zero execution. That was abysmal. Better wake the hell up in the second half.
Not looking good. Have lost every game under 80.
Literal lol. Basically.

And when there was.....4 guys standing on the three point line watching instead of going to the basket.

And 8 turn overs.
He is hurt.
It is not the players. They need an offensive strategy -- like some actual sets with a screens. Nebraska has gotten a handful of buckets off very straightforward sets and that appears to me to really help their confidence. We have serial one-on-one tactics, where we bounce the ball until it's flat. It's just ugly.
I hope we hire an assistant next year who will have the authority and expertise to implement an actual offense.

Oh it's definitely a blessing. Against any team of quality we might be down 30. That was just about as ugly a half as we could play it
Or better yet a serious talk about the program in general.
Key to the second half is Morez staying on the floor.
That's it.
On the plus side, I did not have anyone going for 10 boards in the first half on my bingo card. And definitely not Tre. Impressive under any circumstance.

Yeah because Jake Davis and Carey Booth are getting major minutes.
Davis is a good enough player in limited minutes and booth hasn’t shown that he should ever be on the floor.
On what team does the third "true big man" exist and bring any value?
No one keeps three centers on a roster anymore and our two played three minutes.
