Exactly. He’s hell bent on seeing BH as Domask and he’ll sooner drive the team into the ground then admit he’s wrong.

He shouldn't have let Lovie and Ferentz choose his assistant coaches.

FighterofNightman had a good comment on the game thread about these guys not caring if they lose. And I think he’s right.
These guys are pros. Most of them make 100,000+ a year just in cash to play. And the college regular season is like the NBA regular season. Some days you show up. Other days you don’t.
We don’t have any competitive killers on this team. It’s just mercenaries being well paid on a one year contract.
And I also think that has played a role in Underwood coddling these guys and finessing them in the media. He’s like an NBA coach. Can’t be a hard !!! anymore with the players bc they are paid big money and can leave at any time.
I miss college basketball the way it used to be. I can’t get into what is basically minor league basketball at this point

I’m not trying to say they never hustle or anything, but some of these turnovers are just due to casual and lazy passes, as well as TOTAL mental lapses. I think that speaks to poor effort.
Exactly my thoughts.
The guy that put the roster together and signed off on, if not set up, the basic philosophy on offense and defense is the issue here: Brad Underwood. The continuing farce with Hamer and Tyler has got to be ended by April.
The problem with blowing the games we've blown is that we still have to play at OSU, MSU at home, the Badgers at the Kohl Center, at Michigan, Purdue at home as well as Duke. That's A LOT of really difficult games. Realistically, we can maybe win half of these games, which doesn't leave our overall resume looking great. Best case scenario, we win 4 out of 6 which maybe puts us as a 5 seed. Realistically we are looking at a 6-8 seed at this point. Unless we coach and play more second tier teams like we did tonight which would put us into scary territory. Bottom line is that you cannot eff around against the Nebraskas and Northwesterns of the world and expect to be anywhere near a top 4 seed in the tournament. There are too many other difficult games in our league.
It’s UNREAL … And also why donors are gonna get sick and tired of the NIL era …
If I was donating that kind of money … Me and Brad would be having a 1 on 1 sit down …
I pick the players … You coach … Because his evaluation on Ben … Straight…
Please tell me it's less than DGL or Morez
Were there a lot of high profile schools who wanted him?It’s UNREAL … And also why donors are gonna get sick and tired of the NIL era …

We are bad right now.
Boswell continuing to get more minutes than DGL is comical. Ben was awful, Boswell has been right there with him.
Last two things from me:
1. I'll start with a positive. There is one player who I trust to bring it every single second he's on the court. One player who I'm certain cares about winning. One player who leads. DGL. Keep this dude on our team next year at all costs!
2. The last time we went 2-4 over a 6 game stretch was in March of 2023. That team, we were told, was built for March.

Did you watch KJ handle the ball and did you see the shooting?
Been saying this for a while …
Probably why we have been seeing what we are seeing lately. Just because the guy makes a lot, doesn't mean he has to be on the floor more than 12 minutes. Totally ridiculous. All a product of the great NIL.
Yes and mostly just being careless with the ball and passes. Played with very little bball IQ all night. That is where Nebraska out did us.
The donors are probably not too happy about that one.
Hahahahahaha as Brad would say. Ranked 300 in 3 point shooting. Time to rethink it all
