We were competitive today
- Thread starter Soaring Eagle 74
- Start date
Particularly loved how we have 6 coaches on the sideline and not ONE knew how many men we had on the court in a tied or 1-point game, resulting in a technical foul. Lovely.
If Knapper plays we win by double figures. Horton looked good on defense in first half. He’s athletic and strong. McCabe played his best game so far. All 3 will be back next year older and better. Horton needs to play over Harler.
Gordon stated his case to maybe come back. He played decent today. If Sags leaves we keep Gordon. The auditioning is important last couple games. Huggins wants to see potential. Knapper already showed and cemented his spot and McCabe looks to be coming back now too.

Someone suddenly jumping on the McCabe train. Get a life, or please just end yours.
grab'em while they're hot. You boys deserve them. Let all the coaches go first, though. A single-digit loss should warrant Huggins and his merry band of misfits a raise but these will have to do for now.
Since Huggs has a penchant for pointing out errors by the kids, I hope to hell he points out the ridiculous error by assistants not catching 6 players on the floor. Yes, Gordon should have known too. But damn, we have 3 assistants and a handful of GA's on that bench. How about paying attention and making sure we are properly setup coming out onto the floor after that timeout. That was a pee wee level mistake.
Yep. That falls on the oversight of the coaching staff. Of which there was none. Pathetic.
Eric Martin was probably thinking about all the ignorant democrats he can vote for to beat Trump. He was probably mad Jesse Smollett and the card got exposed. Either way Eric Martin must go. Totally inept staff Huggs has.
We don’t beat anybody without Knapper. The last game we won Knapper lead us with 25 points. Baylor soft zone and suspect defense would have allowed 25-30 points by Knapper today. If Knapper plays we win by double figures today. Harler and McCabe defense in late game was embarrassing. Can’t have that.
Also Knapper torched Baylor with 15 points in 2nd half alone last month in Morgantown and carried us back into game. Knapper has cut down his turnovers.

Blame will be placed on players. The coaches will be given yet another pass. Next week's radio shows/podcasts will dedicate hours to criticizing the players' heart, hustle, passion, talent, and willingness to be coached. The other of the broadcasts will be spent finding excuses for the clusterf*ck that is this team. They'll go over numerous scenarios and cite anecdotal evidence will ignoring the biggest gorilla in the room thus far in all of college basketball this season -- that HOF Bob Huggins is doing a terrible job connecting to this team. That he and his staff did a terrible job of evaluating the players in the recruiting states. And that he has done a miserable job of even attempting to adapt to the minimal level of talent at his disposal.
Huggins had McCabe and Harler on court together and the defense went embarrassingly bad with those 2. Baylor torched those 2 and won. Horton should have played. He can defend and is strong and athletic.
More competitive for sure. This game wasn't that bad to watch. The six guys being on the court is inexcusable though. How did the coaches not catch that? Our guys played hard but then the fouls started to pile up. We just don't have the bodies right now. I want this season to end so bad.
Should be an interesting offseason.

Well that's a news way for the wheels to come off our bus. And we were ahead and finding some offense.... It is good to see we competed on the road.
So basketball has fallen to the point where a post brags on the team being "competitive today". LOL
Just curious what it is that you want to see? More fan criticism of Huggs? Media? Athletic Department? Firing of assistants? Firing of Huggins?
Harler should have tapped the person he was going in for which was Gordon. Why the hack was Gordon throwing the ball in to begin with. Harler was suppose to do so. This was the mix up. But you are right someone should have seen this and called timeout.
The rest of the season is audition time for next year. It was nice that we put up more than 51 points and stayed competitive.
I want Three Guys Before the Game to take a break from dumping on the players and say something that isn't glowing about the coaching staff. And it wouldn't bother me one bit if Huggins "retires" after this season.
