He was not a disappointment tonight. We did not lose because of him. JB's comment that "the wrong player got the ball" and that he had no faith in Roberson making those free throws does not reflect the fan bases opinion.
Tyler Roberson got that rebound and was playing to win. What else can you ask from someone?
I'll argue with anyone, I think his play decline is a result of not only JB relentlessly bashing his character/play, but our guards classic inability to take advantage of a player that plays above the rim. If We have aggressive guards that attack the rim and find the open men (Thompson/Roberson/Lydon) downlow? Roberson averages 8 to 10 points a game and 10 boards this year if that's the case.
Say what you will about this kid mentally falling apart, but he played to win tonight and I just think any question of his character is bush league.
I had faith that he had a shot to tie it up, and I'm proud of him for going after that board and at least giving us a chance.
