Was that the worst half of basketball ever played?

No, it wasn't that bad. We've had worse halves this year for sure.

could be worse. we could be ND

It was ugly as hell on both sides

"This is why we need to get rid of those gosh darned freshmen!" - someone in the Big 10, no doubt.

Gbinije is a mess tonight.

Gbinije is a mess tonight.

I know - kind of shocking performance considering his play of late. Some of those open court passes were jaw-droppingly bad.

This is why all those G will be a superstar next year posts are hyperbolic. Superstars don't have TERRIBLE lapses of concentration and effort like he does. He did more harm than good in the half. He can be an extremely frustrating player to watch. The talent is there but his head is not always screwed on right.

The sad thing is is that it's not the worst by a long shot.

Modern college basketball has all the grace of hippos mating.

It's amazing how poor the skill level has got on this level. Kids just can't shoot the ball anymore, and the only players D1 coaches recruit are tall athletes. If somehow D1 players can keep their athleticism, but combine the shooting ability of D3 athletes, you would have the perfect player.

That was the point, the #9 team in the country being held to squadoosh at home by a team playing on one leg.

Exactly, if that's a top ten team, the state of the game sucks.

N.D. was just awful

Yep

 

[GoSU96]

N.D. was just awful

I watched that cluster between commercials of super hero TV, which was more entertaining.

ND lost to an SU team with it's best player deep in and then out with foul trouble and playing the "bench" early.

Mike Brey should be in the confessional until dawn for the sins against the game committed tonight.

Definitely the worst half of basketball ever - that makes 6 just this season.

There is every reason that Mike G is going to be an all conference player next year. Why post this? He's still learning how to be "the man" and is doing it on the fly in a road game against a Top 10 team. I'm absolutely looking forward to seeing what he can do next year.
