I thought he was trying to hard last night, trying to out do his old team mate Coleman! Just my opinion! Lard needs to start and Beverley could replace him if he gets in foul trouble. Hope Brass gets healthy soon!

He's fine. There was an adjustment period in the non conference schedule for him, and now he's going through another adjustment period as the competition is ramping up again. I hope he stays aggressive and plays through his mistakes.

No more Iowas on the schedule, just needs to adjust to going up against good talent.

Stop, he wasn’t trying to outdo anyone.

Both he and Jackson dribble too much and take tough shots. Wigginton is a freshman and more capable of making of them so it’s not that bad, but he needs to develop the skill of using his abilities to create for teammates. Jackson, on the other hand, needs to exclusively shoot 3Ps and only dribble to pass.

Lard needs to play as much as possible, which typically means starting

I'm ready for next year already. Injuries are really killing us right now. Probably for the better none of the Euro streams would work for me last night. Screw tv and their forced packages.

I'm not sure why everyone wants Lard to start....
He looks very comfortable off the bench and see to embrace the role. Also, he brings that much needed energy off the bench. I'm going too default to the coaches on managing Lard.
Fine, but JB shouldn't be starting. If not Lard, start Brase when he gets healthy. At least he is a threat to score from outside which will open up the lane more for NWB and Lindell.

I like Jeff, he works his butt off out there. But he just doesn't give us much. Similar to Holden last year, he had his chance early but should (and will imo) see his minutes get cut drastically.

This year is what it is and Wigginton taking some lumps this year is only going to make him a better player for the 2018/2019 season.

It was good to see Jackson getting back to knocking down 3's last night but man, the ball sticks when it hits his hands. He needs to let Babb and Wigginton handle the ball and embrace the shooter role.

Honestly, I was fine with it. We need him to play well offensively. Give me a guy like him that tries to find a way out of a slump over someone who misses a few shots and is afraid to shoot.
That was kinda an issue with Clyburn I remember. He didn’t score a single point in the Iowa and Tech losses that year because he missed a few shots early in those games and became passive. Lindell is too talented to not let him find his stroke when he’s on a cold run.

Probably because Beverly wants to keep jacking up misdirected 3's all the time.........
