I felt a 20 pt loss coming today. I just really didn’t want to be right. I want to believe we are one of the 16 best teams in the country but right now we ain’t playing like it

Penetrate and find kofi....that has to be our plan until we get back in the game
I've been saying it for a while. I love our boys, but this offense is very lacking. Plummer's 3s and Kofi have carried us all season and we're getting exposed.

Kudos to Brad for switching lineup and playing the freshmen. That side trap was a nice wrinkle as well.
This is a defensive clinic being put on by Houston.
They are in our shorts and we do not know what to do about it.
Question: what is it about this team the past 2 years and playing so incredibly tight in the tournament? As the better seed, none the less?

He's searching for offense. Putting Goode and Melendez in.
Why can’t we run any offensive plays? What is the point of constantly passing around the wing? I just don’t understand. Set off ball screens. Get into the lane. Play inside out through Kofi. Do literally anything!! Come on!!!
We have as many turnovers as points. Sad thing is defensively we are playing well. Our shooting is just atrocious.
The freshman have given a thousand times more effort. Keep them out there
Kofi is 2 of 3, and drawing fouls. Rest of team under 20%. Have to figure out how to get him the ball.
They won this exact kind of game two days ago, so they’re still in it.
This kind of game is impossible to watch though

I just see too much standing and forcing things into areas we shouldn't be. It's easier to guard if 3 or 4 guys are standing or not cutting hard often...we are not moving. Plus TF, Plumber, belo, DMW all with turnovers dribbling in to traffic and driving it
I don't think it's that they're tight. They're just not a very dynamic group. This year's team at least.
We’re lucky we’re not down 25 points right now.

They haven't played like it in a while, so I was expecting something like this in the tourney. Can't be so terribly inconsistent and careless with the ball and expect to go far in a single elimination tournament.

Having an offense that involves banging and 3s is fine, but we've been ice cold from 3 for like a month. It's not a recipe for success, as we are seeing. And it couldn't have come at a worse time. Curbelo's injury and it's effect on his ability to jell with the team has really hurt, too.
It's not the same team we've had all year. Grandison might as well be out and Trent may be at like 60% capacity right now.
Absolutely correct. Too bad his ethics are so bad....he can really game plan, break down film and motivate his players.
OTOH I love the change since GOode came in the game ....ain't Skeered
Honestly, the only side of the ball we're playing bad on is offense. I legitimately think we're the better team. We just need to stop turning the ball over
