Matter a fact we blew several big leads this year and that’s a pattern. Had they held a lead or two this year we could’ve been a 7 seed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Goodness Sakes, 4 made baskets in a half? And don't get me started on the free throws....this was an unbelievable second half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only stop it when the other team shuts it down. Like most losses this year, we played somehow so much better than our opponent for 20 minutes and then absolutely crash and burn. It happens to all teams occasionally but this year, we made it a team trademark. Edited March 19, 2023 by au701948 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t expect them to get good at free throws in that short time period Cbb as a whole is watered down from fundamentals, I remember multiple guys I watched as kid in college being 92%+ ft shooters, it's just sad to watch these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randman5000 4,235 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 I don't understand why we didn't call a timeout to run a play.. Regroup or something. Pathetic performance. Choked on a turd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenTiger 1,007 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Team doesn’t suck it’s just not better than the really good teams we’ve played. We have streaks of looking great but don’t have the talent, IQ and length to be consistently great. Lack of consistency is why many of us are so frustrated 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn’t happen without bad coaching. I love BP. He can stay as long as he wants. But his coaching or lack there of needs to be examined. What. Happened. To.

NWALA Tiger 3,535 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) Here is the deal... We played above our heads in 1st half. Houston is far and away a better team. More talent, better 2nd half adj. We look like a mid major playing against a D1 power . We'll, I guess we are a mid major, we start 3 of them. The talent gap on the 2 teams is astonishing Edited March 19, 2023 by NWALA Tiger 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am definitely happy to have a team that I don’t ignore after the seventh game of the season. We are tons better than we were before BP. First, can we stop with the "we sucked before Bruce got here, so lets just be happy with anything" comments. Second, are we so sure he will "fix it"? I love them both, but Wendell and KD need to pack their things. We need to get some smarter guards in the portal and hope to God the Aden Holloway kid plays above his weight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Bruce Pearl, but watching a BP coached BB Team makes me want to puke. BPs style is different and I don't think people understand, when he has good shooters it places a veil, when he doesn't u see chinks in the armor, he recruits hoping he gets good shooters. This bunch just wasn't consistent this year. People don't realize how much Jabari and Kessler masked things last year with this guard group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
