[QUOTE="Hopingfor500, post: 1577538, member: 746590"] This is a team that is supposed to be led by not one, but two NBA caliber players. Those are the guys that you have to look at first. In these last two games, have they carried their weight or better yet, are they living up to their hype? Liddell was the best player on the floor today. That simply cannot happen. It's easy to blame the coach, it's no fun to look at the player, but these issues aren't developmental issues. It's between the ears. BU cannot go out there and make foul shots, he leans on his All American guard to calm things down when it gets bumpy and that's not happening and white frankly he's been forced to go to the Freshmen for key minutes. That's not going well for anyone during this Covid Season. They just aren't ready and it shows. If BU has one area that he needs to clean up, it's the rhetoric he uses about this team. "The best guard in the country", "the most dominant big man in the country", "elite shooters", etc. None of those things are true. The media bought in, the fans bought in and here we are, aggravated. Maybe we shouldn't be? [/QUOTE]
