That didn't look good. Really hope he's okay

His defense is already there.

Damn, not only did we let them rain threes on us the entire game but they outrebounded and shot more FTs than us. I didn't think this team had the effort required to completely tank like that. That's impressive.

There is plenty of blame to go around for performances like this. It was definitely there before Woody arrived and you could attribute it to different things/people. There is always a balance between being too strict and too lenient. It's much easier to start stricter and loosen the reins than to tighten the screws later. I've been vocal about the [lack of] leadership for this team and program for a hot minute. I don't think Woody is ignorant to this but you're limited in what you can say publicly. It's nice of him to call out the leadership when he's shown it a few times throughout the season or what they're calling leadership. Would it be different if JHS was the leader? Possibly, young men in that 17-24ish range are a bit erratic in how they handle those issues. I thought XJ had the most leadership potential in this group.

@Rutger, @Kansas, @PSU, and Iowa we flat out didn't compete. That includes a game early, middle, and late in the schedule. Roughly 17% @Iowa, Northwestern, @Minny, @Maryland, @Northwestern, and @Michigan St. we had halves we forgot to compete. That's roughly another 11% of games. We're one game shy of completing the regular season and in ~28% of the time on the floor we looked like we're cool with just taking the beating. That's concerning and not the baseline I was hoping would be set with a veteran team in Woodson's second season. The wins have been absolutely fantastic. The laying of turds not so much.

Tough to win on the road unless the home team rolls over and takes it like champs.

haha how do you get a tech for that?

He's had the opportunity to learn from his leader this season.

Maybe a players only meeting will help us remember that we have to play with effort and focus every game. Maybe when we get an experienced veteran led team we'll not have as many of these games/halves that we drop turds all over the court.

TJD getting buckets now

Something about the call being bucking fullish

Plenty of time and possessions but nothing has changed. Did you see what TJD was saying as he was walking off for the under 8?

St. Mary's in the tourney is def up there along with Penn St. this season

Culture, leadership and such. Never set a baseline or addressed it. We can say it's just a one off but it's happened more than it should.

Smart move by TJD, pass it for the assist if he makes the shot or get a board and 2 with the putback!

Wow, the shooting numbers (sans FT) from Iowa are spectacular!!

Seeding isn't that much of a worry. Playing with the level of focus and all the letters needed in the tourney is kind of a concern. Maybe it'll be worthy of all that.

We all celebrated the win over purdoodoo now we must suffer whatever we're doing on the court tonight.

That's not going to work. We realize that right?

Read your on clippings and then trip over your own **** or something like that

Culture, leadership, all that other stuff. This is like our 8th game in the category of 5 bad games that don't define your team.

They showed up in Btown to compete and we showed up thinking the game was in hand. This will be difficult to overcome.

This defense will play though!!

Breaking news!! We're not focused or locked in or whatever you want to call it.

The first Northwestern game was the one I was thinking with the straight line drives and WIDE OPEN 3s. Penn St. was a little different but just as bad.
