Well, at least I have a couple hours I didn't think I was gonna have Saturday to do something enjoyable.
Just not a good team, sadly. Complete fail to waste 2, possibly 3, NBA players on one team. Maybe too young, but I think it is more that we are just a poorly coached team and have been all season really. I don't know how we can continually come out in games not ready to play, with a total cluster !!!! of a game plan. It's unreal. You can't always have a Terrance Shannon Jr or Ayo on your team to bail out the weak !!! game plans and prep. Team has not improved at all throughout the season. Like usual, you can tell in the first minute or two if the team has the desire to win, and tonight they obviously did not.
Some changes have to happen, and I'm pretty sure they will, and we will see a totally different staff and team next year. Really disappointing season so far, after looking like we had a world of potential at the beginning of January. Ready for football season already. Sad.

Extremely overrated? Or a team that had a very low preseason ranking, and in the end, this is who they really are.
Either way, it's really frustrating. It's definitely a R2 loss type of team this year. I think as a 7th seed, they should beat the 10th seed.

Somehow this team is regressing. From playing like a Top 5 team to maybe a bubble team. Disappointing to say the least.
Let him walk this summer when he goes looking
This seems unthinkable but if Tomi is not back we could lose the next 5 games!
Either way, the coaching would be a drag on performance. Something has to change.
Changes to the coaching staff need to be made. Period.

You can have all the talent in the world. You can “play hard” every play. You can listen to coach when he coaches you.
But if losing doesn’t drive you absolutely nuts? You’re a loser … by definition. And I don’t think the difference between a 3 seed and a 10 seed really drives these guys nuts.
So why should it affect our emotional wellbeing? :/

Took 28 threes and made 6 of them. Yeah, sounds like our usual game plan. I can't imagine why we keep losing games.
I mean, play terrible basketball for half the game, get beat. Our star players need to play not only like stars but like teammates. Just a really disconnected, disjointed team, that looks like isn't being held accountable
Embarrassing.
Good point. He had a horrible season with Mayer and company. I thought he learned from it, but maybe not.
What if OA leaves? What happens then?

Why do people not want to place any blame on the guys wearing the jerseys? It's ok to do that. It wasn't great coaching to come back from 17 down and it wasn't terrible coaching to watch them not get into defensive stances, dig in and get stops.
That's a hard stop.
Truth me told, #32 isn't getting the job done. If you want to single one guy out, which I hate.....there's the guy. Our "best" player has gone missing for coming up on a month. He was supposed to be a lottery pick? He was supposed to be a leader on the floor. Which one has he been?
You can tell that Brad is trying to rip leadership skills out of someone's chest and it's not working. The only alpha is DGL and he doesn't bring enough to the table to harness it.
This team needs to find itself. We have scraped the floor at this point. Struggling at home against Ohio State Sunday, then losing to a team that's .500 is awful. Not to mention losing at Nebraska when we should have won that game. Additionally getting run out of our own building by Maryland. It's time for this team to nut up or shut up.
There should be no more excuses made for the poor game planning from Brad. We're not a 3-point shooting team, and he needs to accept that. No more excuses for the lack of effort from a team that should be in the top 4 of a *not great* Big10.
Where did the team that beat Oregon by 30 go? We entered a stretch after that game that many people thought we could go 9-1, but we're 5-5 in that stretch. Failure on all fronts, and Brad won't admit it. Now, we gotta go 4-0 @Minnesota, vs. UCLA, vs. MSU, and @Wisconsin to re-establish ourselves as "competitive".

we had one of those until Brad ran him off.. His name was Tim Anderson
Hot takes:
KJ is playing himself out of a Top-10 pick.
We lead the nation in silly turnovers.
Will is coming for everyone's minutes.

This sub par coaching isn’t fair for the quality of players we were able to get this year. Not sure if anyone watched the Mizzou game but even in the loss, they looked tough, cohesive, and well coached. Underwood needs to do way more reflecting.
Bret also is not afraid to make MASSIVE staff changes ... And when he does ... He UPGRADES ...
Tony Petersen ... Gone after a year ... Lunney ... Instant upgrade ...
Fenelus ... Gone after a year ... Parker ... Instant upgrade ...
Buh ... Gone ... McDaniel ... Instant upgrade ...
McDonald leaves for Ole Miss ... Hey I'm bringing in an elite level dawg in Stepp ... No need to worry ...
Brad should be taking freaking notes ... He did it with bringing Antigua back but that's it ...
