This team takes the easy way out. Jack up threes. No mental toughness.

In April, a new staff is needed. That stinks, and is also what life experience suggests is needed.
I had hoped that what was needed was reassignment of an assistant or two. I now think -- if the 'Championship' thing is the goal -- that either (1) someone needs their feet held to the fire (that is my non-obscene wording) or (2) a leader who can bring a championship -- not just mouth the words -- should be brought in to replace our good (not great) staff. Championship = great staff. I won't (who cares what I think) make a decision until the end of this season. But I think I know what I am seeing. I bet Josh Whitman does too.

Easy to have a career night if you are unguarded.How many guys have had “career nights” on us??
Ayo and Kofi. TSJ and Domask. All made up for a lot of coaching deficiencies. This year BU has been exposed as an average at best in game coach. A hard pill to swallow after last season.
Just burn it all down. The Brad era was cute but he’s gotta go yesterday. What a pathetic season
The low quality threes are irritating but nothing is more irritating than seeing "specialist" miss wide open looks or turning the ball over trying to be "creators."
When did this fanbase become so damn entitled?
Or the opposite: the NIL money drying up because donors don't want to waste their money.
TJ and Domask carried Brad to the elite 8 …
The switch to booty ball was a good call … But when you’ve got the 2nd best player in CBB … And another all big ten guy … Makes it a lot easier …
I just do not understand the Ty Rodgers situation with the outcome of this season. Tre White can’t see the floor now. We complained about playing 4 on 5 on offense last year with Ty, but that’s what we’re doing with Boswell out there now anyway. At least Ty gave us height, hustled and played his role

Give me back my Afta, heh heh
Let me guess, coach is going to talk about being tough, Pizza Hut, fighting.
He is losing credibility rather fast I think, blew it with nepo and assistants too.

And Ayo before that.
We haven’t been able to guard opposing 3s/4s all year
What was more embarrassing....
The upside-down jersey reveal
....or.....
The coaching in this game???

I’m a decently positive fan on this site, and I very freely admit I have a buzz and I’m letting the emotions of this game get to me … but as someone who’s never even KIND OF lost faith in Brad, I no longer support him. Sorry. This was an inexcusable loss due to nothing more than hubris and stubbornness, and I have zero faith that Brad (A) understands that or (B) would have the humility to change.
Thanks for everything, and I mean that fully. Throw the warche$t at someone else if we’re going to be shackled to fixed lineups and game plans that we settled on in August due to NIL commitments.

Did we really miss our last 16 shots?
