Guys, we're honestly a mid-level Big Ten team and maybe a top 30-40 team overall. I'll admit I drank the Kool-aid and thought, maybe, MAYBE we could contend in the Big Ten and get hot for a few weeks in March. I was wrong. We're average.

The thing is they shouldn't be this bad. I know some of our players are a work in progress but you give this same team to a handful of other coaches and they are around top 15.

Only 9 turnovers - good.  Give up 19 offensive rebounds - bad.  I believe Indiana had 11 assists in the first half and only 2 in the second half - really?

We've been the same team for year, thats all i can really say. Wish there was some sort of change.... ;)

 

 

We suck. We won't be dancing. I'll go watch my Laker suck, at least they are fun to watch suck

We should be a top team, all I can expand on this matter lol.

Anyone have a video of the scuffle between Allen and Rojo. I stopped watching as soon as we got down by 20.

[Scooter D 928]

As expected.  This may be the longest of all of the Tom Crean coached seasons.

If you can prevent yourself from vomiting during the year long Kobe love fest I guess.

19 offensive rebounds. MASSIVE stat. It is not hard to put a body on someone. Rebounding is mostly effort.

The last time I looked forward to something as much as this season only to be as disappointed as I am now in the actual product was when Spiderman 3 came out. Or the How I Met Your Mother finale. Can't decide.

haha! Good one. Or Dexter finale?!?!?

I said this in the game thread, I just don't understand. I genuinely don't understand how the team can play this poorly. How is the defense in this game so much worse than Louisville last year? How are Rojo and Colin both regressing on defense? How did TB graduate high school without understanding any fundamental basketball?

 

I sit and I watch this game and see mistake after mistake, and even when I see them trying hard and defending with effort, the technique is bad. They play too tight, or too loose, or at bad angles, or something. Always some poor mistake that players who were ranked as highly as they were coming out of high school should never make.

 

It's embarrassing. It's embarrassing for them. It's embarrassing for the fans. It's embarrassing for everyone. All I wanted tonight was to not be embarrassed, but here we are again.

 

Coach K and the assistants could have played tonight and beaten the team that showed up in the second half.

I think you are still overly optimistic.  I would say after what I saw tonight, we are a bottom of the B1G and maybe 80 - 90 range.  We certainly have personnel that should make us better, but the whole of the team is much less than the sum of it's parts.
