Really inexcusable. Serious damage to our title hopes. Still waiting for the wake up call for this team.

Just horrendous offensive possessions down the stretch. Got plenty of stops. Kofi was dominating and barely any touches in the last 10 minutes.
We've seen it before. Ayo puts the team on his shoulders but then doesn't get coached to put them back down.

It will happen again.

Hate to say it but, Ayo hurt us more than I’d like to admit imo this game.
Team/Ayo/coaches should have realized the most efficient scoring for us was feeding the post. Can’t have a 9-23 night from the floor in the B1G and a career high on their end and win. Tough loss, on to the next.

Have to be better. I think we have come back enough times that they believe they can just turn it on whenever they want. It just doesnt work that way. Hope it’s a lesson we learned tonight. I’d hate to be a first round out in March.

They could have fed him a little more, but he was triple teamed every time he touched it at the end.
You still have to get him the ball, they double or triple then there's at least one or two guys open. I can only think of one time where he got a touch down the stretch and he tried to pass out to an open Miller, but it was a bad pass. It would have set us up for more than anything else we were doing.

That is exactly right. Yet he rarely passes out of those to an open shooter. Never has. That is on the coaches. So frustrating and very simple to coach in film session.

Shot selection needs to be a major focus. Particularly from Curbelo and Ayo. Contested runners and floaters. We also got next to nothing from DW and Giorgi.
