I watched 5th grade girls play last year. Let's not get too carried away!

not often you shoot better from 3 than from the free throw line and from 2. In fact, has any team in history done that?

Well, yeah, technically if they could have held everyone else to 0, TJD's points wouldn't have beat them
I’m sure that means we’ll quickly see some mea culpas from the posters who chastised BU for not playing our best offensive player of late in the second half.
Doubt it, they're probably asleep by now...lol
We started 5-8, went 4 for our last 15.

I don't think either of them are as athletic as TJD. Dickinson is really stiff... Not as worried about him. Edey is obviously a load, but at some point they're going to start calling fouls on him... Pretty unbelievable he has more blocks than fouls this year.
Agree on RJ, TSJ and maybe even SH. But we can't just "move on" from this one because we still need to play them on their turf. Learn, adapt, improve, win.

You know as objectively good as the wins over UCLA and Texas were, the fan in me would trade them for Mizzou, NW and IU. Those games are just horrible to lose (for a fan). Thank God for WFH so I don't have to hear all the trash talk at work tomorrow
Coach Underwood just made a few comments on the raido: 19 straight days with not 1 off day and Mayer sick. Well Coach that's your job not to run them 19 straight days and the training staffs job to treat their bodies. Watching film and walk through and treatment are very important.

Stevie Wonder can do better than 9-23 on free throws. Just sayin.
Thoughts and prayers to you and yours, pru.
Praying for you and your family. This board and community is bigger than sports. It’s family.
Name checks out
Sorry man. Will do.Praying for you and your family. This board and community is bigger than sports. It’s family.
Watching the highlights of our recent wins I was surprised at how easy we were able to initiate the offense with minimal pressure. To me when this team is pressured like they were tonight they just cannot run good offense. We also let lack offense influence our effort defensively which is disheartening (for them and me). Oh well, on to the next one, just wasn't our night.

I'm praying for you and your pops, pru. That's a tough call to get, man.
I think the most disappointing thing for me is how we have looked in our losses. It was so nice to see how we played against Wiscy, Minn, Neb, and MSU. Albeit, not the best teams in conference, obviously, but we passed the eye test. Tonight, we were back to the Mizzou, Penn St, NW schtick of just bad play most of the night. It is so easy to see how this team feels mentally by their play on the court. REALLY easy for our opponents. When things go bad, we just stop moving, stop passing, and stop playing D instead of digging deep and grabbing momentum. Oh well, it's just basketball I guess....
