Serious question, why isn't Matt Thomas in there. I know he hasn't played worth a hoot lately, but we need another 3pt shooter at this stage of the game.
So you want a guy that shoots around 30%?

Recency bias. People say this every year

This is true.

Get used to this. This comes with the territory of being an offensive minded team that plays very little D.

I love Fred, but until we start playing tougher (better D and better on the boards), winning home games and losing on the road..... i.e. frustrating to watch at times, will be par for the course.

I'm trying not to go to the ledge....but I'm really struggling to find anything special or redeeming about this unit where it is right now this late in the season.

cant shoot free throws, can't rebound, can't defend...and don't appear to have a great interest in doing so. And lately it takes double secret closed door meetings to get these guys motivated and not look past teams.

im not quite sure who these guys think they are.

But hey...all you guys early on when we dropped a few games and said "Oh don't worry...it's one game"....how you feeling now? THIS...is exactly why dropping those games was so important not to do.
I have to agree with you now. It's the middle of February and this team is digressing by playing stupid, lazy ball.

People also need to realize that we're playing yet another game on the road on a short turnaround. These games are even harder to win.

Now that's not an excuse for the pathetic showing tonight but it shouldn't be a total shock.

Except he's not a good 3 pt. shooter, so that would be why.
