Best of luck, Bryce!!!
i don’t think he ever really got the credit he deserved. Maybe not B10 level center starter status, but he played solid defense when he was healthy. If you paid attention, you’d know.
He got on my radar when I watched the game up close in person in Vegas versus ND. He...
I just googled what Dylan and Ace NIL deals were worth. It said $1.6M each and were top earners. If someone wants to pay Tariq $2M, more power to him. I like him and he’s great for the team and probably a better team player, but if he’s out-earning Ace and Dylan, I’m just saying…...
I won’t deny that if we don’t have enough money, we’ll be in trouble again.
But I can’t help but feel like you’re pulling your numbers out of thin air. Cliff was offered $2 million (not from Alabama). Someone like Paul was offered $500k-$600k, I thought. Maybe prices have risen, but $2 million...
All this talk about 3-pointers. How about why is Zrno attempting only 3 three-point attempts? He went 1-3. You’re not even utilizing him for his best weapon, while keeping him in for mediocre defense.
3 minutes from Dortch is ridiculous. If he’s healthy, I have no idea what Pike is doing. Same with Nwuli with 2 minutes. Especially when we’re being scorched from the outside. Manny’s “rim protection”, if you can call it that, is mitigated. AND WE STILL GOT OUTREBOUNDED 29-20.
You can play the...
Dortch, Nwuli, Lino, JMike, Tariq, Kaden.
Definitely not Manny, Zrno.
I’d even pick DBJ over Grant.
Idk what happened to Grant lately.
That flu must’ve done a number on him and he’s still working his way back.
I totally agree. I have lost patience with Pike. I give him the benefit of the doubt that our NIL is lacking and without a GM until only recently, he was at a disadvantage, but that doesn’t excuse how this team is currently performing.
His lineups are atrocious. The effort is lacking. The...
Hard pass on both Manny and Juric. I’d be curious to see what Manny’s +/- is. Just because he gets us 5-6 rebounds in 20 minutes does not mean that he deserves his minutes. After you factor in his slow defense, stone hands, and uselessness on offense, I’d rather us just embrace small ball until...
Normally, your negativity is insufferable, but I can’t disagree with you today. We are definitely playing our slowest players. And DG has been getting cooked too often.
1000%. Unless Dortch is not fully healthy, I don’t understand how he’s getting so few minutes these last few games. He’s probably the most athletic person on the team.
We are always trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Our base lineup is terrible against Minny. Manny, DG both get cooked on threes. Not using Zrno for his 3 point ability. Get some athleticism on the floor and speed them up! Too many rhythm threes for them.
Our roster is not perfect, but it is better than what some people make it out to be. Our offense isn’t perfect, but at times, I’ve been pleasantly surprised and entertained.
And yet, I’m starting to get tired of Coach and his staff for one major thing that I’m losing my patience for…his roster...
This loss was on Pike for sure.
We were not playing to win, we were playing not to lose.
- Total HERO ball down the stretch. Zrno was the reason you were in the game in the first place, but he probably never shot the ball in the last 10 minutes. (Aside from jacking up one shot because the game...
2nd half observations:
- Grant is either not giving full effort or is still not 100%. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he's not back to his regular health yet.
- Badalau was first subbed in when Grant had some low effort hiccups.
- They weren't cooking Badalau yet and we got it...
