So frustrated with this team and coaches.
This. Why are people making excuses? Make more free throws (FREE shots, guys), and we win. Fewer silly TOs, and we win. Given how the final seconds played out, and any play better than an off balance Curbelo rainbow down 3 and we might have won.
Who can seriously say we’re playing like a team trying to win a Big Ten title? Get a top seed? Make the Final Four? I mean, I’m not dumb enough to think the players don’t want that or that they don’t give their all, usually ... but we don’t look like we have that mindset. The last three minutes were painful to watch, and you’re doing mental gymnastics if you aren’t severely disappointed in our team’s and staff’s performance in that span.
I thought we were maybe done with this. We’ve been able to beat good teams on any given night for most of Weber’s AND Groce’s teams, guys! We already got back to “winning most of our games” last year. This year should be more. I sincerely hope this changes the fire our guys have, but I’ll officially press the alarm button if we don’t beat Nebraska VERY easily. Zero excuses. We’re MUCH better than they are, and not beating them easily should embarrass these guys.
