Despite this nightmare If we just make free throws at a 85-90% clip we would have won against Texas, ND, and today and be sitting at 8-2.

And if LeMoyne, Colgate and Youngstown State made a few more free throws we would be like 1-9.

But he decided to pull Donnie & sit him for 12 mins after Sorber blocked his shot on a drive to the hoop. He wasn’t going to sub him out but immediately & demonstratively called for a sub after that play. Red’s explanations for his decisions rarely make sense.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Red needs to be fired tomorrow morning

And then what? Replaced by who? Griffin’s next up. Or is there some magician who is sitting at home waiting for a call? John Beilein is 71 and doing tv work.… Can you get someone to quit what they’re doing to be an interim coach?

Not likely. Wild hack is looking at this like we were not rated as highly as GT yet still came close, even without our best player. JJ comes back early January, Bell comes back to life, Moore and Freeman continue to mature, and we get back on track to be whatever it was we thought we were going to be.

True.

Keep your head up everyone! We lost a close game at home to an average team. That's solid progress. We may be a bubble team this year, ACC tourney bubble, but bubble none the less.

Did Red call a timeout in the press conf?
Because he couldn’t at the end of the first half
Donnie Freeman sponsored by Expedia after his travel.

Overheard "couldn't even motivate my dishwasher to wash my dishes" Wild hack un happy.

Copying and pasting my note from before with updates to NET:

NET of the teams we've played so far (note, we are 136 in NET), wins in bold:
LeMoyne: 327
Colgate: 263
Youngstown St: 230
Texas: 57
Texas Tech: 34
Cornell: 103
Tennessee: 2
Notre Dame: 100
Albany: 213
Georgetown: 97

Next six:
Maryland: 13
Bucknell: 237
Wake Forest: 118
Florida St: 81
Georgia Tech: 172
Boston College: 207

Cornell being our best win is sad.

No way wildhack said that.lmao

I agree with almost everything being said that’s critical of coaches and players. The fanbase rightfully so is not going to forget the stink of this game with Autry and Bell.

Despite this nightmare If we just make free throws at a 85-90% clip we would have won against Texas, ND, and today and be sitting at 8-2. 63 free points not counting front ends left behind this year.

Don’t let your eyes deceive you man. You know what your watching is terrible

 

[Eric15]

I’m embarrassingly on record as saying I thought Bell could have a Preston Shumpert-esque career progression. Instead he’s devolved into Mookie Jones.

Hell Devo could do a better job as a fill-in until next year. At least he would instill in them fierce competition and playing hard

 

[realorange]

Did I miss the rule that said Donnie and Davis could not be on the floor at the same time??

I think the issue is less one of motivation/playing hard and more of not knowing how to do what they’re supposed to do. Some of it is thinking they’re supposed to do things that are actually ineffective and/or damaging. There isn’t really a lack of ‘fight’ in them. They’re just ill-prepared for the battles.

”Spacing.”

I think it should happen. I bet Red thinks it’ll hurt us on defense (lol) because Donnie has to the guard the opposing 3

It's both

 

[CuseNickens]

I was only able to watch the first 12 minutes cause we are getting ready to host a party. Guess I didn’t miss anything new.

Me either. I'd just come from buying a speedboat.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Okay, but I’m suggesting one results from the other.
I can’t remember, in 40 years of watching, seeing so many instances of our opponent Scoring and our players looking at each other with blame, for missed assignments, lack of help, not being able to contain their own man…. That kind of psych pervades and infects.

 

[Lukeyloo]

Wow, G’Town really dodged a bullet! Would’ve been a quad 3 loss for them…..

You are absolutely correct and all that can be traced back to an incompetent coach way over his head that has no idea what he is doing once the game starts. Deer and headlight syndrome. He don't got it

 

[Eric15]

Obviously we didn’t lose because of one play, but the play that continues to stick out in my mind is that garbage one handed pass from Carlos when we were up 6 and had all the momentum. He played an otherwise solid game but that seemed to be the turning point where everything went to hell.

 

[690West]

Did anyone ask him why Bell played then?

Yes. They asked. He said Chris is the best choice defensively.

 

[AZOrange]

What is going on with Chris Bell…

It’s one of the strangest regressions I’ve seen
