Cuz he should have at least seen the floor R some point tonight.
Jaden Jones=in doghouse? Hurt?

Well all know why. It’s because, as a freshman, his defense is not good enough. Pike values defense first and you don’t get minutes until you can demonstrate that.
Walked over to a guy earlier who hit a 3 and hit the bench, deservedly so. Although could have used his offense maybe
How did Palmquest get on the floor then? His defense is awful!
Most likely he puts in more effort and shows more in practice.
Literally thought the same thing. Probably a lonely middle aged man living with his parents if I had to guess. Starts a thread for every thought that pops in his head
Even if Jones was in the dog house, he should have been given a shot tonight with every single perimeter player struggling tonight.
If Pike wasn't happy with his D, then he could have sat him right back down

Kiss was a different scenario. Jones is a freshman and 4 star recruit
This. He has shown some potential on offense, something that Palmquest has never done.
Wow. You’ve got some anger management issues buddy. I unigored you to see what you were posting and I’m glad I did - help is available!
The three flops in one sequence drove me crazy. Told my wife get him off the court.
He’s not watching anything, he’s just stumbling to the computer whenever we play badly to wipe off the Cheetos dust and post some troll threads.
Steve's reasoning: Oskar is a Sophomore that can't play defense. Jaden is a Freshman that can't play defense.
no one played defense, its a poor excuse that he isnt getting time on a team that cannot score and wasnt playing good D anyone, and Palmquist playing that much was inexcusable
Kiss was brought in played, well ended up in the doghouse. Then transfered and was a leader for Bryant.
Key word. Bryant lol. Jones is in a completely different category with his potential. Kiss was not a B1G caliber player
People can say whatever they want but something is obviously not right with Jones. He’s been in the program 1 full year now, and below average P5 players are getting minutes over him. It’s either a work ethic issue, just a bad match, or he’s a complete miss as a player.
Or maybe he isn’t ready and he needs to mature.
Jones, Hyatt, anyone...Palm didnt play at all vs Nebraska
I have no problem with Palm playing, I have a problem with playing 12 minutes and it seemed like he was in during key stretches where a few points here or there made a big difference,,he was in when RU got down 12 about midway through the half
I’m not trying to stir the pot but we’re playing guys who aren’t ready (and probably never will be). You don’t mature sitting entire games.
Sorry bac. Jones anyone. Bottom line Geo and Ron you know it I know it. And Caleb and Paul stunk too. You think jones makes a difference tonight? Nah. Focus my friend.
My point is something is up here and I don’t think it’s simply that he’s not ready. Let’s be honest — a lot of us expected Jones to be a 7-10 pt scorer this year. He’s not even playing notable minutes in blow outs (wins and losses).
Also - if you’re gonna play him give him minutes at home to build his confidence before you throw him into the fire on the road. Did he play more than Reiber tonight? If so, esp after Dean’s last game, even more puzzling.
My thoughts exactly. I didn't mind Oskar getting out there. We were struggling so bad to score. Maybe he hits a 3 or two and he did hit one.
The extended minutes and in strange situations was odd
Whoops anyway jones vs palm when our seniors don’t show up is sort of irrelevant lol
I mostly agree... there is a chance that Jones, if given some minutes, showed up today with a few big buckets and gave the team the much needed spark it was looking for and this changed the entire rest of the game
