Crazy to think Roberson was a high recruit for 'Nova and Kansas, too. Not sure he even sees the court with those teams. His ESPN scouting report was hilarious as it rambles on about his big impact on both ends and how he owns the 8-15 foot range with this solid shot and handle. LOL.

Should it be accountability on the coaching or the player? Short answer: yes. I think JB rips him too much at this point given it's not effective and you can't talk about how awful the defense is every game but only single out one player consistently. It's the very definition of "not fair."

But that's what happens when a potentially GREAT PLAYER falls so short of expectations. And he doesn't play hard every night. He simply doesn't. He played pretty hard tonight, but he tried to sell fouls on boards two or three times in the first half and that's never going to fly. Ever. Not against UofL and not when you had honest chances to actually get the boards. Just as JB has to know who Roberson is and should ease the hell up, Robey has to know his coach and simply play with some intelligence.

He had no chance to make the FTs, we all knew it.

JB is spot on: the wrong player got the ball. Because Lydon was discarded (for the umpteenth time) right into the cheerleaders before Roberson even corralled the ball. The foul was given to the wrong player. It's easy to get caught up in defending Roberson that they overlook that his statement is factually correct.

Lastly, any recruit watching these games and press conferences who thinks SU is a good landing spot is thinking what most of us do on a game-to-game basis: cripes, Roberson sucks at basketball.
