For us to actually advance in Indianapolis or in the tourney, those guys have to start shaking off their funk. Five turnovers for Myles and Caleb just...i dunno. Any speculation on why those guys are struggling so much?

Oh and yes...obviously I’m thrilled we are in. But I’m greedy and want to actually do damage. Deep runs in the tourneys will help us in so many ways.

Jacob and Montez are more than making up for Caleb. I’d prefer to see both get more minutes anyhows.

For us to advance in Big 10 tourney and NCAA, we need Myles without question and please no illegal screen fouls

those who produce in games and in practice should play. Unbelievably RU held sway and played better at times when Myles wasnt in the game. Seems like a smaller lineup opens the offense and unclogs the lane

All I know is that Myles should not be going outside to set a screen anymore. Nothing good comes from it and causes too many offensive fouls. Keep him around the basket to get rebounds & put backs. Caleb is due to break his funk and go on a scoring binge.

Way to always look for the negative. :cry:
Why not enjoy the victory for once without being a debbie downer?

The fact that they're dumb fouls is the most aggrevating part. You can count on at least one offensive/moving screen foul plus another foul at least 60 feet away from the basket every single game. If you're going to be in foul trouble, at least make it on tough, contested shots in the paint.

We just beat Maryland - Myles had 1 foul the entire game. We just beat purdue I was traveling in car and didnt get to see or hear game so I dont know how Myles played. Why not just enjoy the wins and let Pike decide who plays and when they play. You second rate coaches on this board are really getting tiresome

Myles: S T O P with the screens already!

Dammit man, you're going to graduate phi beta kappa and you're can't get this through your noggin?

I know you can do it!

We need you to be the best Myles you can be....and that's on the floor, grabbing rebounds, blocking shots and going up strong and finishing!

um just because we won does not mean we cannot talk about things and lineup. Myles was pretty bad this game, he needs to play better and not hurt us. The silly fouls and then the whining to the refs after them has to stop because he is letting those bad fouls effect other aspects of his game

Myles was a no show first half vs Maryland but excellent the 2nd..thats the kind of Myles we know we have..thats the one we want to see....he needs to focus rather than get easily frustrated, its a maturity we all hope happens sooner than later

At least two of the turnovers for Myles were because teammates gave him the ball in bad locations on passes that shouldn't have been attempted. Not worried about it long term.

Without Caleb's contributions this season, we would not be dancing. He is in a major funk but I believe he can work out of it. I hope he is ready to step up if needed in Indy or the big dance.

I’m liking Shaq’s play. He’s asserting himself and is giving us some really solid minutes

Caleb was excellent when Geo was out with an injury. He has tons of talent. I expect he will improve a lot in the off season and be a major contributor in the future

Haarms & Williams were setting moving screens all game & did not get called for them, Myles has a reputation for moving screens so it seems like the refs are looking for him to foul.

Just stop. These screens are meaningless 30 ft from basket when effective and killers when called as fouls. Just stop Pike, Jesus. When no foul is called we still don't do anything

A couple of Myles’ turnovers were caused by passers on passes that never should have been thrown.

We had guys getting in to the paint and finishing all night. The issue is our 5s and sometimes perimeters need to be better with screening and using screens.

I want opposing shot blockers on the perimeter.

It's pretty bad when your nickname gives you away:

Myles Moving Screen Johnson!

Myles, you can do better... spread those 7'7" wings and fly!

I'm not worried about Caleb. He'll be just fine. It's seemed like every one of our other guards/forwards had a slump at some point the way the team pushes themselves. Caleb is just kind of in that boat for the time being. That's what makes the depth so crucial. When he gets back on track, watch out cuz his shot is as smooth as anyone's.

The moving screen is something I watch for every game and Myles just can’t get out of his own way. He’s always adding an extra hip check or leaning in. Idk why it’s so hard for him to clean it up. That said, I wish they’d call other bigs for the same nonsense (Watkins, Wesson, Haarms...) as much as MJ - They all do it. But Myles has a rep at this point.

McConnell has body language of someone sulking about playing time. His lack of defense hustle is also obvious.
Please sit him on bench for rest of season.
