This is why you recruit better offensive players. There will be days your defense doesn’t have it and you don’t even have a chance. Might as well have good shooters if your best defenders can’t stop anyone. Team will not go anywhere under this coach without dangerous shooters sprinkled into the philosophy

We really got to retool this offense. Too much energy spent getting open on down screens. High ball screens getting hedged to half court.

IM DONE. its not because i hate the team or players its the false hope it keeps on bringing me.... Johnnys are just better just like uconn and nova ..
If the refs didnt screw up and act blind in the uconn game and especially the USC game we coulda made it but they were....................................................
IM FED UP bud clark is playing like TRASH and Payne is the biggest pain to watch mike williams is just a worse coleman...this team is depressing.....we kept on getting chance after chance and we couldnt deliver we failed big time, again and agian...this is a much worse feeling than last season this is painfull and I love my team but we freakin suck...

Solid season but let a few get away. Win two more and would have been dancing. Need to start over with 10 new players again with this NIL world. Might know them all by next January.

It's hard to not let go of 2024 knowing scrub schools from MWC stole a legit bid from us. Knowing that NIT team could've probably and easily made a sweet 16, of committee wasn't so corrupt pisses me off so much man. I could live with his dissapintment much more, if we got the respect any team deserves in 2024.

Didn’t Dar block that ball and then the contact???? Brutal call. Same as PI in football, if a ball is tipped at the line all bets are off

Man keeping expectations low now. Appreciate the comeback there....... LOL just ridiculous the clear favoritism over St Johns.... it's what it is. All I'm going to say is hate St Johns more than I hated Nova back in the day. They literally started our downfall in 2024 and see them succeed cause of simply money.

That’s why the whistle disparity was a joke. Pretty obvious who the Big East wanted in the final. Some real touchy fouls called on SHU when St.Johns got flustered.
Yep. St. John’s vs. UConn. Refs didn’t help but not main reason we lost. St. John’s talent won out. Nice effort by pirates to make it a bit interesting cutting it to 6.

We didn't allow a field goal over the last 4 minutes of the game (until the meaningless bunny with 10 seconds left). The issue was they made 12 free throws in that span (and attempted more).

Anatomy of a loss: Sanon 3s, a few mismatch blow bys on the baseline, Budd overthinking in the half court and empty possession turnovers in the last 5 min to go with of course the inability to make 3 pt fg when really needed.

Applaud the heart hustle and resolve but was a little to late again when you start the 2nd half with offensive anemia. You can see and tell how deliberate the St Johns guards and any switched bigs were playing Budd on dribble foul line extended or in the paint. Good teaching video for the team based on who comes back.

And also I want to say this if you are Hines and get caught on a switch and you have a weak side offense player that gets ball you can't just give up the baseline like help is expected.

I know Clark 18 shots to score his 17 points but he’s the only guy willing to trying to be aggressive. Oh and he had 11 assists and three rebounds.

Shaheen to The Cuse ?
Would be great for us. He’s 0 for 4 and can’t run an offense. Paid way too much too. Would be great if he left and we got a real coach won wins. He’s a .500 career coach. His record is who he is as a coach. Average

Just when you think you have adjusted to IronKaz1 game thread lunacy

I give you poster CTF591011.

I wonder if that is his inpatient number at the local mental institution. Because he has to be bi-polar.
I have a feeling that his therapist is confused that people with names like "Repole" and "Pitino" aren't co-workers or family members that cause him such aggravation. Something about the "NY Post" and "media" too.

That is why we MUST get a shooter next year. Chuck Daily once said "Shooting makes up for a multitude of sins" !!! I'm repeating myself on several treads and will continue to bring up that we MUST find a shooter next year .
