Just checked the box score of the last Spurs game, and if the positions are listed correctly, Romeo was sent into a tough situation. The game listed 6 shooting guards for the Spurs from that game.

IUBB vs Wisconsin - 02/15/22 @ 9:00 on ESPN2

What ever double screen action Woody set up there was absolutely blown up by Wisc switching on both screens and our players fold and just stand there. There is no one on this team that can get there own shot, especially under pressure. Even Woody said after the play was blown up, the offense just froze. HOW does a team full of players that have been playing basketball for over a decade in their lives not know what to do when a play gets blown up? How do those players just stand around the ball and look lost? For Christ's sake, once the play is blown, EVERY ONE, except for a ball handler to help out of a trap situation, RUN AWAY FROM THE BALL TO SPREAD THE FLOOR, IT IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! CLEAR OUT! -

Still not happy about this one. For all of the harping I have done regarding TJD over the past month, he finally shows up and plays one of his best games, but no one else really did (offensively)! This team just cannot get out of their own way! I am not sure what would help them! Consistency must be a curse word in the locker room. -

Another issue that showed its face tonight! Why do we slow our pace at the end of a game when we have a small lead? Why!!!!! That’s why we were 1/10 from the field in the last couple minutes. We walk the ball up the floor allow the defense to get set, they deny TJD the post, and our shooting shoots us in the foot or we turn it over! Run the damn ball down their throats! Don’t give them the opportunity to shut us down completely. We have no shooters, and when the defense shuts down the post we have to be able to get up the floor and keep the defense on its heals! -

I have experienced both ends of the spectrum unfortunately and the worst leaders I ever had came at the worst time in my career. I injured my back in overseas, was having trouble walking, and had no business being in country after the incident. I was accused of faking, put on crap details and shifts for over 3 months before I was released from theater and medically retired. A few months after my my battalion returned from overseas, a buddy from the unit passed away. I attended the funeral walking with a cane and one of my former leaders made a derogatory comment under his breath about me and yes I heard it, as did my wife. At that moment was probably the lowest I had ever felt, to have a former leader trash you, in front of your spouse because you couldn't continue mission. Just because you wear the rank doesn't mean you deserve it and just because you get stellar remarks on NCOER (that is a non-commissioned officer evaluation report for those not familar), does not mean you are a leader. I don't know if Woody has been waiting for someone to step up, but with the comments he made last night, it kind of sounds like it. I don't think X would do the job or not. I like him, think he has had some fairly good moments this year, but the ability for opponents to get in his head will not help him lead at all! You have to lead by example and that's why I say Galloway. I think Trey does a pretty good job of trying to lead by example. I don't think there has been a game this season, where you can say that Trey didn't give it everything within his current limitations. You are probably right about elder team members being in the way of him fully stepping up. Another player that could step up and lead is Race. But he could be one of the one's that Woody was potentially waiting on to take the lead. Of course leadership is not the only thing that this team is in need of, but to have the coach of a P5 team public commenting on things such as leadership, buying in, suspending players in the middle of conference play, it really puts things into perspective on the current state of the team. -

Unfortunately, this is one thing that coach will likely never solve this season. Being a leader is something very difficult to teach. Ask anyone who has served about leaders. Some soldiers have it naturally and are some of the best leaders to serve under. Some dedicate themselves to learning to become leaders and do a decent job. And finally you can have the most squared away, best soldier in a division that flat out can't do it and cannot be taught to do it, but are made a leader any way and things go bad, real bad! There have been several comments this season that this team lacks an alpha. I think the closest thing to a leader this team has is Galloway. His constant energy and unwillingness to give up are some good characteristics of a leader, I just don't think he is quite there yet. Will he ever become a true leader of this team, who knows, we aren't privy to behind the scenes, but the leader doesn't have to be the best player on the team. -

I would say he has to be frustrated with the officiating, hell all of us and tons of other fan bases are as well! Every fan base is constantly complaining on social media, yes I know it occurs in every conference but at least most of the SEC games are watchable. For the life of me I do not understand how the conference leadership cannot see it as well. 21 almost 22 years without a National Title for the B1G and there is a pretty clear reason why the B1G is as unsuccessful in the Tourney. Slow, plodding, half-court, beat the crap out of each other basketball does not do any B1G team any favors in March. Bo Boroski should be banned from any B1G games, FOREVER! I know I can get my hopes up a little too often, I can't help it I'm a CBB fan, but I was really hoping when Delany retired we would see some changes. -
Its a brutal article for sure, but it is the truth! There have been multiple conversations in game threads making similar points. Something has to be figured out!

The offense will never be fixed as long as the ball goes to TJD in the post and he stands there for what seems like an eternity before making any move. By the time he figures out, oh crap there is 3 defenders, we are so deep into the shot clock it doesn’t matter if the ball comes back out. We have to stop with the post focus and run something other than a perimeter weave. It’s great to have an inside presence like we have but for that to be the focus is like running on first down every drive all season long, guess what the defense knows what is coming! Even Woody seemed to acknowledge it in the post game. He said, paraphrasing, that even if the back court moves while Trayce has the ball in the post the defenders don’t move with the cutter, we are going to have to do something about that. Yeah cause they know the ball isn’t coming out and they stay there to dig on TJD!

I will say at least Durr has shown the ability to shoot, but it’s a shame that he is so limited in many other areas especially speed.
