Yep it was absolute embarrassment on ESPN. No two ways around it. They better show up tomorrow. After the way they played yesterday if there are any other excuses, it better end with our effort was awful after we couldn’t get anything going early on. Defensively they were really good for most of the first half and then just gave up. That’s on the coaching staff. That’s on the players. Show up tomorrow like you didn’t hang out at the socially distant strip club until 3 am pretty please.

That ball just finds him. There are reasons for that, but I just think it’s his competitive spirit. He just hasn’t taken plays off at either end. Going to love that kid for four years.

Man, the board is in mid-season form. Lol, I think we should all take a collective timeout.

And we can trust him to make a smart play more than others.

Yeah he will be good next year imo. This year this is who he is. He is talented, but talent of a high school senior versus 22 year old men doesn’t mean as much unless you are a Zion. Even Zion would have struggled his senior year against high college kids. I know I wasn’t as high on Lander as others, but the kid has a body that doesn’t play. His shot looks rushed. He looks rushed. Once it slows down and he gains about 20+ lbs of muscle he will be fine. Hope it’s this year and not next on the speed slowing down.

Agreed. Too much driving against an active Texas defense isn’t doing us any favors. Would love to see more ball movement and passes off of that than straight line drives with no angles.

Hell at this rate we may want to look for the Peoples Temple special Koolaid.

Sharing is caring in times like these.

So you are saying your punishment is still watching Indiana basketball and ensuring we have to endure that? Sounds about right.

I assumed after being up 14 and they were ready to fire him. I anticipated more traffic after that.

Just wanted to check in make sure nobody was jumping off a cliff after that first half.

Love the move to put in Galloway when we look flat.

Was worried how we would react to an active defensive team with Trayce playing soft. Have our answer early. We have to pick the intensity and activity.

TJD shows up in game 2. IU 73 - The basketball school 69.

I think I am happier about this than anything. When in the last few years have we won without the man being the man or having Green hitting turnaround 25 footers into double teams?

Oh for sure, and I completely agree with you. He wasn’t just the man, I am sure he thought he would come in like most fans thought and he would take over. Al is 22. Rob is 21. It’s going to be hard for a 17 year old no matter how talented to get more than 15 mpg even if he is playing good.

Race, if anyone votes anyone else we are taking their fan card. Dude was an absolute beast.

Personally would have loved to give the guys some run with us up in control, but on to the next. Great win boys on a neutral court that will mean something in a couple of months!

Yep I would agree. He looks like a 17 year old the first couple of games. He is probably hurt most from the lack of cupcakes. But he is 17, with a 15 year old body. He will be good next year. He has an elite skill that plays once this slows down. I think his best ball this year will be in January.

Race keeps this up he may be our most important player to get us further than expected.

I am his biggest defender, but that’s just horrible effort. That’s all that is.

I hope. I feel we are a top ten team if he came back. Similar to what Illinois is this year. We still would need more to be a title team in that scenario, but it would beat the alternative.

We have 8 turnovers for the game. You tend to miss shots during a game, so I don’t know how to respond other than we were up 16 against Providence. They are a hovering top 30 team by most people. Spell disaster? D-I-S-A-S-T-E-R.

He just isn’t going up strong today. It’s weird. He is bouncing off of people instead of attacking like he normally does. Love that he isn’t forcing too much. Lander backed off pretty quick too when he was. That’s different than in years past.

We are? I thought we were up 16. If that’s coming apart against a Providence I hope we don’t ever play good. But yes, how predictable...
