I agree. No intensity at all. The whole front court is just awful. Guards are decent but whole front court need to go
Exactly, on the exterior we have some decent pieces but our play on the interior is atrocious whether it’s defensive end or offensive end. Dortch and Ogbole don’t belong in this conference, Fall can’t play, D Grant is incredibly soft, Buchanan is no gem on the defensive interior either. We have nothing on the interior of this team on either end.

But no one said that Francis and JMIke are having a “very solid game” lol

it’s also not just about points. Use your eyes man - he has no impact on this game. 3 layups off (off nice feeds) - and doing literally NOTHING else - is not a “very solid game”
His previous 11 games 23 pts total and only 1 game over 20 minutes

Hes been awful all year long but is giving solid contribution tonight

disagree about ogbole. Many teams would take him . As a 5-10 minute backup. Takes up space, can rebound and block. Obviously he is NO starter.

And in Buchanans defense - is playing as a “big” for the reasons you state - we got no quality bigs

Announcers keep saying they have a first round pick on their team. Imagine if Francis could pass to that kid.

How are we supposed to make a game of it with our 3-point shooters on the bench and no center to prevent Washington from getting so many ORebs and second chance points?

Sprinkles passing Pikes for 16th place on Big 10 coaching list
Who do you have at 18, Rhoades from PSU? minny really upgraded from Ben Johnson, who was a pretty mediocre and tired coach, we should be able to do similar here. No idea why Pike is even getting chance to utilize next year’s increased NIL budget. We need to shake it up and bring in new life here. It’s getting very, very old and tired.

Badalou?

Baffling. Remember when EO was playing well. Think hes been given 10 minutes total.
