Thiam in the post. Do that more.
That was luck. I'm thoroughly convinced now, that anytime we make a basket it's just pure luck. We have 0 skill at shooting the ball, be it 1 ft from the basket to 25 ft. Even dunks are a 50/50 proposition.

It's a talent thing for sure, but we make bad dribble and passing decisions too.
Can't tell me the CS teaches that step back and fadeaways on almost every shot. You are just not going to hit those shots a good percentage of the time.

It’s low basketball IQ. Our bigs routinely rebound the ball and go low with it. We lack basic basketball understanding at every level.

I think our coaching staff is very good at teaching defense and kinda poor at teaching offense. I get that our roster is scoring-challenged but to be 350th out of 351 in the country in shooting is INSANE for a Big Ten school.

Well, Kiss is a transfer sitting out a year and Johnson is redshirting.
Because we don't know yet what they give us, it could be good. If they play well enough, it actually eliminates part of the problem of some of this year's starters.

It also means #349 is out recruiting us on the offensive end.
