JB said the players were tired at halftime

[Briancuse]

They probably should have. He used the phrase "deserved to" which they did not. It's not like the game hinged on a bad call. They had their chance and they blew it. Twice. Take your "deserved to" and stick it Jared.

Deserved to is a poor choice of words. They didn't make a shot down the stretch. We're we lucky? Yes. Could they have won? Yes.

 

[jncuse]

We should not be looking to cancel the games for practice.

Every team will have to put up with Chit this year. If you are healthy to play, then play. If not then why even start the season. It might not come out perfectly balanced -- some teams will get breaks more than others. You have to be mentally prepared for the disadvantages you may have at times.

 

[Alsacs]

How JB talks to the press is rarely if ever how he addresses the team.

Everyone in the local press is scared about access they won’t question the crap that comes out of his mouth.

JB should just not say obvious spin like he is his own press secretary for a politician.

My expectations are really low to begin with but the way our program is run is just frustrating.

Don’t lie or spin to the fanbase. The truth is fine nobody expects anything this season or atleast I don’t. Just making the tournament I feel is accomplishment and successful season.

 

[Finwad32]

Much ado about nothing... hindsight’s 20/20... JB sees his team in live action and says holy chit, we should’ve pushed this thing. Says it out loud after the game.

Fired up Bryant coach who just took a tough L in his Super Bowl takes it as an excuse... steps on the only platform he’ll have this year and speaks his piece.

Weird argument to get fired up about.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Well he had 5 points in 9 minutes and 0 turnovers. He should have had an assist on a fast break but one of our guys bobbled the pass.

Quincy screwed the pooch on that one. Was a pretty pass.

 

[GoSU96]

JB is in the process of Boeheim’ing Richmond. He can’t have him playing better than his chosen two star guards...

comeon G, your better than this

 

[CuseFaninVT]

People on this board love to attack Buddy, and he is not the perfect player, but he is a very good player.

He's good. Not very good. He's a very good shooter. That's it. That's the sum total of his talents as a basketball player at this level.

I hope I’m wrong...I really do.

Luke Hancock or Jimmy Baron player comps for Buddy.

Good players who aren’t close to the top option or shot takers on a good team.

 

[orange79]

I hope I’m wrong...I really do.

You are.

 

[Alsacs]

You are.

Honestly at this point I am from Missouri.

There is no explanation for Girard playing the entire second half short of no other guard was available.

Show me( Not you but the HC)

 

[CardiacCuse]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this to you, but there is something called asymptomatic transmission. I hear it is a big deal.

testing trumps sympotamaticity. if you're negative youre negative.

if tests are that unreliable lets just nuke the planet and get it over with.

 

[SaltLakeOrange]

You are.

Like I said, I hope I am. We shall see.

Not your best material. I do 100 pct agree though.

You are aware what Missouri’s state nickname is correct?
That is my point.

I don’t think that JB was blaming Bryant, I think he was blaming himself or his AD. Not whining, just having regrets about the decision they made.

 

[Chris02M]

I'm not buying that. Missing that much time and saying it caused guys to have been tired is exactly why you wouldn't play guys the entire 2nd half. Its ludicrous.

he also had 3 fouls in 9 minutes

 

[Briancuse]

Of course I am. I was just busting on you for the joke. A bit corny it's all good.

 

[IthacaMatt]

look at the stat book, Buddy was not terrible all day offensively.

He started very poorly. He got hot in the 2nd half from three, but he still gave up about 40 points by himself on defense.

 

[Alsacs]

I don’t think that JB wasn’t blaming Bryant, I think he was blaming himself or his AD. Not whining, just having regrets about the decision they made.

It’s JB spinning the situation to make an excuse for JB.

I mean it’s not whining? How?
If he has regrets I am sorry he made the decision. It’s on him. Nobody else.

Cancel the next game now. Let the team practice. So we can be ready for Rutgers.

I do not think we will ever agree on anything, but then you have superficial knowledge and would not know a good player. For you it is all athleticism, but there is a lot more to playing the game than just being athletic.

 

[MikeSU02]

Even if he wasn’t blaming Bryant, it’s still whining.

Hes got to do better in that situation.

 

[NineOneSeven]

"we deserved to win the game but didn't make enough plays...". Ok there bub. Maybe we have different definitions of "deserved."

I mean they did.

Isnt Rutgers the next game? What am I missing?
