Didn’t Lipsey say they were going to do big things in this tournament? He was way wrong. This team isn’t even close to being deep like a lot of us thought going into the season. Going to be a struggle getting into the NCAA tournament.

22% from 3 and 60% from the line this tournament. Has the makings of a long season if this offense doesn’t figure it out.
Perhaps as a message, perhaps also to prevent what essentially amounts to a walking turnover.
I figured there was a chance of going 1-2 in that tournament, but I didn't expect to look as bad as it did. Almost went 0-3.
Yeah, but how can you determine he was even in bounds or in the air to call a valid timeout when you are looking at the floor? That ref is completely clueless.
I think he is an extremely athletic player that is very raw basketball wise.
If we lose by 8 or less I would've been fine with it before the game but the way it went down was pretty bad being up 21 and then just totally imploding
You guys remember that one season when the football team got off to a bad start and then ended up winning seven games and went to a bowl game?
Omaha's a mystery. He hasn't done anything to warrant additional time. But he also hasn't gotten much time either.
I think it's how the loss happened and not having much left for good win opportunities left in the non-con.
Atleast Rob is playing his ass off. The rest of the team not so much.
Without 2 starters and we blew a 20 point lead…
Time to reset expectations with this team. Obviously can improve and trust TJ's coaching but it’s just a unique group of skill sets that seem to have some glaring weaknesses exposed against quality opponents. A Long way to go will hope for the best.
At least he never played, this is coaching malpractice to continue to run him out there significant minutes.
We've had some calls to bench Gilbert and even Milan which I think are kind of irrational momentary frustrations, but C Jones is really hoisting a lot of bricks and the kind of plays where FTs aren't even a possibility.
C Jones is shooting the same 21% from 3 that Watson did last year (admittedly Watson only took 19 3s all year) and doesn't have Watson's length. Unless he improves his shooting I'm not seeing it.
1 - Tamin, Pav, Gilbert
2 - Gilbert, Pav, CJones
3 - Milan, Omaha, Watson
4 - King, R Jones/Ward, Omaha, Watson
5 - R Jones/Ward
Am I way off here in a rough chart of who is best at each spot and who should get some minutes in those spots?

I'm going to overreact to this and say that I hope we win a lot more than 7 games.
The sound you hear is the point sailing on past me.
Do you watch the games? Biliew is very athletic, but doesn't look strong or on offense look for his shot. His game looks a lot like Watson's did last year,
I think expectation have to change. Maybe he can be a 20mpg guy in February, but I feel like his offense is couple year project.
What you could tell is the A+M goaltend against the backboard... guess that wasn't the part being reviewed.
