Peters acted like a child today....

[Ace-Leroy]

Late in the game and We were still in it , Peters threw a foot stomping fit because someone didn't pass him the ball when He wanted it , leaving Us playing 4 on 5. Most coaches would have sent his *** to the showers but Howland took him out for about 30 seconds and sent him right back in. At the very least he should sit the next game but it would not bother me if He never suited up again. You are not going to win consistently with a lack of control of your players.

That’s the stupidest **** I’ve read all day.

 

[DAWG61]

Guess you missed him draining 3's and being the biggest reason we got back into the game in the first place.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Mmmmmk


he was feeling it in the second half. He actually deserved to demand the ball.

 

[Ace-Leroy]

I apologize Ms. Peters.

 

[Ace-Leroy]

I saw that, right before He bricked a layup that would have gotten Us even more in the game. I am just not OK with him quitting because he didn't get the ball.

He might have deserved to demand the ball. That does not excuse him quitting when He does not get the ball.

Sometimes a quick 30 second talking to is what it takes. Sometimes some long bench time is what it takes. How did Peters do when he came back in?

This wasn't the game Peters needed to see the bench in. That was vs LSU.

What would Our position have been if He never quit to begin with? He could have cost Us some points by acting like a baby. We will never know.

 

[Ace-Leroy]

I won't argue with that. You are correct.

 

[Ace-Leroy]

Keep allowing this **** and this team is done. Cohen should show Howland the door. It will only get worse before it gets better.

 

[patdog]

Peters played well against LSU. He had an off night shooting, but really only put up one bad shot, and only took 4 shots total in over 30 minutes.

 

[patdog]

So, you've replied twice and never answered my question. Nice.

 

[Ace-Leroy]

I thought I did but I will repeat myself. He made 2 big shots , but also missed a layup and quit on the team because he did not get the ball when he wanted it. Loved him making the big shots but cannot forgive him for just quitting when We still needed him. He just quit. I don't think anyone can justify that for him. HE JUST QUIT.

 

[patdog]

So, he did play pretty well after the 30 second talk then. Thanks.

As long as your knocking Peters for his antics, play or thinking he cost us the game what are your thought on Q’s first half play. Of course I’m not sure he played the first half. His stat line was zeroes across the board except for minutes and 1 TO. No points, no boards and slow on defense. IMO the reason we lost was Q disappearing in the first half. FYI Peters led us in scoring today and by far didn’t miss all 8 layups by himself!

 

[Ace-Leroy]

I don't think so. He missed an easy shot and We lost. I would rather have a player on the floor who keeps trying to win and does not put himself above the team winning. I do not have any patience for a guy who just quits. If you are ok with a guy who quits then We just don't agree. I want a player who fights to the end of the game.

I know what you are talking about because I saw it. What you are saying happened did happen, but not when you say it happened. It was still in the first half before UK really stretched out the lead, and Peters ran along the baseline and got free of his man in the corner on press row side away from the student section. He came open, stomped his foot when he didn’t get the pass, we had a turnover and there was a foul right after. Howland took him out then and there and let him cool off. Overall, it was an emotional player getting frustrated in the moment because of the right play not being made. Nothing more, nothing less. Everything he did in the 2nd half to help bring us back was after that play happened. He was working hard on D and not being a ball hog. Saying he should be thrown off the team for momentary bout of frustration is about the dumbest thing I’ve heard in awhile on here.

I will watch the replay. I could be wrong. I do think he quit on our team though. I respect your opinion.

Fair point but I have never seen Q just quit. Peters did.

 

[Ace-Leroy]

It happened very late in the second half. If he did the same in the first half I missed it.

 

[Ace-Leroy]

was it in the first half?

You got the right half yet sport or do I need to show it to you? It happened clearly late in the second half. go ahead and retort if you must.

 

[Shamoan]

This is dumb. Even if true (it's not), who cares?

 

[Ace-Leroy]

You don't have to care but it is true. Watch the game.

 

[paindonthurt_]

And had 6 assists. Not sure on the turnovers but he needs more games like that and the scoring will come.

Not ok with throwing a temper tantrum but I didn’t witness it so not gonna judge it.

Seems to me in the first Half we let Carter run the show instead of Q. Maybe Howland wanted Q fresh in the second half.

Why aren't we banning these losers that call college athlete names? Go exercise or do something productive with the rest of your day and maybe you'll quit acting like a little ***** because your entertainment didn't end the way you wanted it to.

Must have happened twice then, and if so then my apologies for calling you out because it’s clear we would be talking about two different occurrences. I know the occasion I was talking about was 100% in the first half because I know what goal they were shooting on was the 1st half goal (the one opposite of the student section), and that’s the corner where he wanted the pass (the corner of the court to the top right of the M-State logo...at the press row / baseline boundary). I was in the arena and didn’t have the benefit of DVR as to the exact moment of time, but in the instance I’m talking about, a few possesions later he did get the ball in that exact spot and promptly bricked a 3 from there. Then UK proceeded along their run and ended with a 15 point half time lead. I’ll say also in this first instance, what he did was a big foot stomp in frustration, but its not like he just gave up and started walking down the court or anything. Of course, Howland still pulled him. Then in the 2nd half, he started to heat up.

If you know when the instance you are talking about happened and went through the trouble of checking the replay, can you post the video? I honestly didn’t see anything in the 2nd half, but would be curious to know what happened.

 

[o_HuntDawg]

I posted a thread a long time ago that we'd be better off with Peters not starting. I stand by that.

When he's playing well he's probably our best player, when he's not, his attitude and such sinks the ship and Howland lets it go.

For those that think he's going to be some sort of NBA star or draft pick, its not going to happen.

I'd make him the 6th man and play a more traditional lineup either
Nick 1, Q 2, Woodard 3, Perry 4, Adu 5
Nick 1, Carter 2, Q 3, Woodard 4, Perry 5

and with Peters being the 6th man.. if he's on we ride him, if he's not we limit his minutes
