Gotta change something up the looks they’re getting are tough for the most part

But they also can't give that timeout. Like, literally. They changed the rule, and yet...
You guys ever notice that all of Ben’s shots hit the front of the rim first, he’s literally always short

He shoots way way way too much for a guy that doesn’t make many.
Our bigs are remarkably unathletic compared to Alabama's. This was my concern going into this season. We don't have a ton of playmakers that can beat anyone off the dribble.

I really would have thought we learned that jacking 3s over and over when they aren’t falling does not work. It’s literally kindergarten level basketball understanding. Blows my mind.
How does a college ref not know the rulebook?
It's literally my least favorite basketball to watch- I'd pull my eyes out if I were a Bama fan- undisciplined defense and offense- foul every play- make them call it. It's just ugly basketball all around. Problem is- we are letting it dictate how we play.
As Tomislav gets healthier, Ben's minutes will vanish if he can't hit shots.
For who? Davis?
Petro, Bam, AS, Mirk, Z, Tomi, Wagler …
No one else should be playing …

Pretty critical 2-3 minute stretch here, it feels like.

Difference in this game is pretty much Ben being 1-7 from three
Falling back into last year's habits. Stand around, Ben bricks the too many shots he takes, and we shrink from physical play. Was hoping we had moved past that. Still have time, but BU needs to get PISSSSSED!
Rebounds now 26-24
That’s a god awful call..
Please stop throwing the ball to Ben, he can't hit his shot and won't stop taking them. TAKE HIM OUT....we saw this last year.
I don't see any problems with the way the game is being called overall. We need to man up.
