Dadika has been huge breaking the press and the zone but its frustrating when he gives up buckets not because a lack of effort but because Thiam is 6’10” and sitting on the bench. Gotta pick your poison with Geo still clearly ill

You won’t win any B1G games if Dadika is playing major minutes.

NO CALL When Sanders gets fouled on the strip then Eugene makes an absolutely perfect strip, all ball, and he gets called for it. What a bunch of ********! They showed the replay three times he touched absolutely no hands whatsoever.

This team is just filled with low bball IQ players. A bunch of athletes who are projects. Geo is the only player with good bball IQ, his body just hasn't caught up yet.

Freeman, last game, fouls out reaching in at the top of the key.

That sequence typifies this game - get beaten on a rebound after a missed FT and then give up an easy basket...

This is on Pike. Team's playing in slow motion getting outplayed and outhustled by far. Just an awful showing at home on Senior day. Thought about going today but didn't because I expected us to lay an egg. I turned out to be correct

Not many positives today. Our ballhandling, rebounding, and defense has been lacking. Even a relatively good shooting day for us isn't going to overcome that.

Such a stupid 5th foul on Freeman. At what point is Pike held accountable for such crappy decisions on the floor? I also don’t get the substitution patterns.

Thiam needs to really do some soul searching in the off season. First he needs to put on a lot of weight and muscle. Secondly, he needs to become a more complete player. He can't just stand outside the three point line and shoot threes. He's 6'10". He needs to drive to the basket more.

He had been doing that lately. No idea why he hasn't played more today.

that foul is pikes fault? Lolll stop

Have you watched this mess. Do you see a lot of good decisions being made by the white team? Let me have some of what you are smoking if you truly believe they look like a well coached team playing their last regular season game.
