This team is really hard to watch right now. This offense is just like our football offense. Both teams play good defense and just terrible offense. Right now we don’t generate points on the fast break or anything. WV plays basically almost our same style but fast breaks and gets some easier points

Having generally good consistent shooters (and that Fing Hok) helps them a lot.

Can't keep blaming the refs, teams looks unprepared and lacks any motivation. Can't blame the refs for the last 5 games of terrible play

We just look lost on offense. Have Osun or Kunc even got a shot, heck have they even got a good look?

We are just a painful offense because we don't push the ball to potentially get easy shots and our half court offense creates no good shots. I think we have more moving picks than good shots!

Lipsey's got to be aggressive. WVU is giving him 12-15 foot shots- he has to take them!!

Grill isn’t even looking to score when catching the ball. Literally nobody is a threat to score when they pass the ball around the perimeter for 20 seconds

2 of 6 from three-point line for ISU while WV is 6 of 16. The shooting has totally disappeared over the past couple of weeks, and we no longer take it to the hoop. Instead of pushing the ball towards the hoop, we continue to pass it around out front, and no one wants to turn the corner and take it to the hoop, when we did, we scored. Do it more often.

ISU has been going to the hoop much more the last two games. That's why they've only shot 6 threes for example.

I hate to do "ref-blaming," but I swear Holmes gets mauled on drives/layups with no foul call more than any player ever.
I think some of it is he goes in looking for the contact and it looks worse than it is?

Idk man but him driving and throwing it up isn’t it

Grill limped off and has been injured for like 6 weeks now.

He does. I don't understand what more he could be doing to sell fouls. Same happened to Brockington last year and he became a jump shooter knowing he wasn't going to get calls

-Can’t make free throws
-Way too risky defensively
-Out of position consistently
-Easy team to scout
-Don’t make adjustments
-Strange player rotations off the bench
-No go-to alpha player
-Point guard can’t make anything beyond a wild driving shot
-Make a run followed by a bigger run by opposing teams
-Keep feeding Bob as the main offensive option
-Can’t make free throws

That second to last has been driving me crazy all season.
