I wish we'd throw it all the way down with 2 seconds instead of heaving it full court. Really just a ultra conservative stupid play

One would think the second half vs OSU would have taught them something. Nope, the 3-point jack wagons are back at it.

Pass up a 2 footer for a a 3 point brick.

Hope staff points out that the ball security, passing, and shooting are at a fourth grade level....girls. This game can be won with two things. Effort and playing and avg. game between the ears.

We don't have to make any hero or highlight plays. Just hit shots they give you (there are plenty of good ones available) and play smart, effort defense.

Second place is 1st loser
Dude, he's been a disaster. Hard stop. You can't point to anything that he's done well over the past three weeks.

1 of 7 shooting and threw turnovers already. This is who he's been and again, he killed a run with being flat out sloppy.

Interested in knowing who was worse
DGL or KJ

Is there anyone on earth who thought anything else would happen?

Despite how badly we played, we’re right in this one. We were down more midday in the 2nd half of last game. Morez should play all 2nd half; needs to stay out of foul trouble. Give Ben credit for hustling…looks like he gives a 💩

Not holding for the last shot after that offensive rebound and then Boswell slapping at the ball for the foul really soured how I felt about the last 10 minutes of that half.

Still winnable if we cut down on turnovers, and work the ball in the paint.

Throw in Ayo and Kofi….man!

Kofi entered the portal ... That dude was as good as gone if Orlando didn't convince him to come back ... And Orlando was not even on our staff at that point ... Those are just the facts ...

But he's a program legend ... Obviously Ayo and TJ as well ...

But Trent and DMFW have a special spot to me ... Guys who committed to Groce ... Stayed through the coaching change ... Stayed all 5 years ... Went from the worst record in program history ... Losing a scrimmage to EIU ... To Champions ... They are legends ...

if by now KJ hasn't realized his high school level passes wont work at this level then I"m not sure when he'll get it.

But they will surely work in the NBA next year. Oh, and we will shoot 15 threes second half and make them all. Both have the same chance of being true.

I am concerned about KJ and his TOs. They made a run against OSU without KJ. Can they do it again? In the end, he should be out there, but he hurts this team sometimes with his silly TOs in key situations.

As for his FT shooting, if he's able to swish a FT, then my expectation is for him to be at his 85% clip. He hasn't done that as of late.
