Lack of effort

I emailed jp, this guy should be our coach, he knows when timeouts should be called. I am blown away by his insight. Fred ******* sucks no way around it, that McDermott guy had a book full of plays and a roster full of NBA guys, I wish we had that guy back, I loved his style of play, coaching ability and most of all his propensity to ******* suck on game day. Fred obviously doesn't know how to coach, jp hiring him has been an epic failure, we will never ever get to the NCAA tournament again as long as I live. I am burning my season tickets.

Very evident....7-0 run and that was it for the half.

He may also have been our only outside threat in the last game...Tyrus was shooting blanks...

When you cannot shoot from the outside, you should go try something different.

With K-State coming to town Saturday, Fred Hoiberg's squad had better turn things around in a hurry.

Plain and simple, this is the best way to sum it up. Our "effort" on Wednesday was as poor as it's been in a few years. I don't know if we were looking ahead to Saturday and thought we'd go down there and roll T. Tech without showing up, but it was ugly.

Hoiberg better start utilizing his timeouts in the necessary situations. I can't even count how many times he should have used them in the Kansas, West Virginia, and Tech games. He has to stop runs or droughts and having 3 or 4 timeouts at the end of the game isn't the way to do it. I put it on the entire coaching staff, as the assistants (TJ) should be chirping in his ear if the other team goes on a run or we seem "out of sync". Bill Self does it repeatedly if he feels his team doesn't know what's going on or the other team goes on a run. I know Fred is learning learning, but it's time to grow up and call a timeout when the other team goes on a 9-0 run. We better be ready tomorrow or K-State will run us out of our own gym and the season will be in jeopardy. We have won 17 in a row at home. Buck up Clones and get a WIN!!!

Tech never went on a run (I don't know if they're capable of that). Why would we call a time out, that only benefits the other team when we are the high-scoring team that can score in droves once we get it going. We never got in a rhythm on offense and I think a lot of credit goes to Tech for that, imo calling time outs wouldn't have helped us.

They walked the ball up court if anything. Here I thought they would play faster. They were as slow as TCU.

Our team historically, not just this year, plays very poorly in dead gyms. Our guys are made for fast, exciting ball. Now, put them in front of 2,500 fans, slow the style and get us in foul trouble, it takes away all rhythm. If you've ever played basketball, scoring is all about rhythm. (Come to think of it, this could go for many things...brown chicken brown cow)
