People figured out how to contain Iggy...Z can't shoot jump shots...Poole has a low baskeball IQ...Charles scores 20 one game and can't score more than 6 in the next 3 games.

I love Z, but you're PG NEEDS to be able to dribble drive and hit a jump shot.  Save for the hook shot has neither

Having a headcase as a 2 guard that clearly turtles up every time he hears criticism.  Instead of being motivated, he turtles.

Having a PG that cannot shoot and refuses to shoot even when he is open.   X cannot be the starter next year.  Screw this know the system shit, hit fucking open shots, that's the whole point of the game.  Hit fucking shots.

2 different teams one went 17-0 moved the ball to open shooters and knocked them down. The other went 13-7 and slowly walk the ball up the court and tried to only take shots with less then 5 seconds on the shot clock and nobody looked confident shooting the ball and basically no adjustments were made on offense because everybody thought the defense would bail us out.

Another harsh take...But X CANNOT be the starting point guard next year.  He has had two years and still has no outside shot and is so adverse to even taking it, that in a game like this, he is 100% a liability.  Love what he has done for this team, but call a spade a spade.  We need someone better, facts are facts.  DD or find another recruit/transfer but X is a complete liability offensively at this point and he has NOT improved in 2 years in any offensive category with exception of assists.

Poole and Z need to come off the bench next year.  They can’t be starters or they won’t go anywhere again.

Nobody should be totally surprised this team has not been a typical JB team his teams usually get better, but playing Montana and a 16 loss Florida to get this far just pushed the envelope back a little, offensively this team is bad no other way to describe it.

Z played so bad. Truly acted like it was a Game in November. No edge. No fire. Hate being hard on college kids, but the fire from this team was worst I’ve seen in a long time. I want change from this team. Hopefully Matthews leaves. His lack of improvement in key areas very disappointing. Gotta go get a grad transfer who can SHOOT.

Imagine letting a 6’2 Italian import drop 15 on you. We knew Culver was going to get his tonight. Well played by him. 

 

Offense was just dead. I’m sorry but Jon Teske has some of the worst ball skills I’ve ever seen from a D1 player ever. I don’t care if you’re 7’1. You should be able to simply catch the ball in the post and go up strong at the minimum.

 

and just lol at Matthews crying at the end. We know it wasn’t cause the team lost but because he let any ounce of hope for playing in the NBA sputter and die tonight. Not sure what jersey Matthews will be wearing next year, but I pray for whatever team he winds up on. It was a good season with some bright spots, but to win games against good teams, we need to have everyone “on” at the same time. Matthews, Simpson, Livers, and Teske all laid a fat egg tonight. Poole wasn’t ridiculously awful and at least Iggy showed an ounce of heart.

 

plan of attack is figure out who’s coming back next year, hit the gym, and have them start shooting. Great season boys
