Cant blame the players

Look in the mirror Jim

Everyone played with max effort, Cole really hustled at the end of the game, if only he was a better player.

 

[SUintheVille]

Buddy and Joe 8 for 32. Maybe a little blame.

 

[Ghost]

I could a little bit, I mean, if you really wanted me to.

How about run them off screens? They aren’t isolation players.

20 of those were Buddy’s.

Sure you can blame the players, aside from terrible decision making their shooting was horrific. Buddy 5-20, 4-10, 3-12. Terrible but just keep chucking.

They are in practice because our practice defense is probably crap. That’s the only reason I can think of why we play any sort of iso ball.

They played 8 on 5 with no help from the sideline. Don't even know how it was that close. Kudos to our kids for fighting hard.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Edwards will be blamed for this loss.

We don’t even have enough scholarship guys for 5 on 5 in practice. And that’s not even counting the 1 guy who’s on scholly but can’t really even play anymore

At least we dominate in practice

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Buddy, Cole, and Jimmy are being relied on to do wayyyy too much. Each of them is really only good enough for a Matt Roe/Marius Janulis role. Hang out, catch and pop threes. Period. Those two guys of yore would never have been counted on to score more than 14 a game, for iso, for much ball handling. But, even in a league that is pretty awful, we are so awful that we have these three guys trying to execute the kind of stuff Billy Owens would do.

And Joe…. Coaches saw Joe for a long time before his first freshman game and assessed… he was going to be the backup to Jalen Carey.

Amen. It's like we have Sherm Douglas or Michael carter Williams to break things down. Just horrible offensive coaching

 

[JeffCuse]

Players, coaches, officials. All get their share.

He should keep shooting.

 

[hoopsupstate]

If you watch this team play, we start four players who should be a 6th or 7th man.

 

[Dick_in_MI]

It’s easy to rip the starters but we have the most anemic bench, scoring-wise, in a long time. In 24 minutes, Benny gave us 4 points and 2 boards on 24 minutes, and he is the best of the bunch in scoring potential.

 

[SUintheVille]

20 of those were Buddy’s.

5 for 20, and 3 for 12, 25% for both. Not good. No one else to play who has any chance to score much at the 1 and 2. Bad all around.

To be fair on Benny’s scoring, how many touches does he get on the offensive side? He isn’t even looked at, it’s like Rakeem’s sophomore year.

 

[richard224]

Missed the first half. Did Torrence get hurt? What happened there? Only 5 mp. Jimmy’s MPG still climbing above that Cornell number

Theres a reason Jim has been reluctant to recruit another SG the last few seasons...
