Flo may be the weakest "big man" in college basketball. I have never seen somebody lose more 50/50 balls than that guy.

0 assists, 5 TOs.

That about sums it up so far.
This team's a mess right now.

The book on us is run us off the 3pt line and take tough 2s

Jump to contest the 3s. The hesitancy and the lack of aggression even when in okay position is just crazy. Seems like just a mental make up thing compounded by our lack of explosion compared to recent years. I know for sure the coaches have drilled it and they just won't execute. Bring in Grimes now and try to get him an extra year. Won't happen, probably shouldn't but seems like no other options

his positioning for rebounding (arguably his only asset...) is so, so bad. i've never seen someone so lost only having one job.

Who'll step up? Texas just toying with us now.

Offense looking junk. Just post up Jon on the block and spread it out. Can't be worse. See if we can't get something out of that.

Keyonte will be back according to reporter.

Tx length at wings is an issue for our shooters.

Love late on a missed rotation. Just sieve on perimeter D.

Mainly because our ball movement around the perimeter is horrific so far.
Stefano DiMera
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I think they're length though is the reason.. every pass is contested and every penetration they're swiping at the ball getting a deflection

Kansas and KSU provided the blueprint on how to beat us: Meet the guards at half court, if not earlier. And unfortunately our transition O might be worse than our transition D.

I've been saying that our root problem is offense and it continues. We need to have our guards drive to the rim.

If they kept stats on such things , Flo might hold some kind of career record for blowing point blank at the rim scoring opportunities.

Is contested because we're taking unnecessary excess dribbles that slows the ball movement.

Talking about stats… it would be nice to have the stats boards showing numbers instead of a video loop.

Yep, the ball is sticking badly.

We've looked better the last few possessions, but we're not moving the ball well at all.

He stood in the paint for 5 seconds and I was screaming "what's he doing?'!?!?"

OK. Next man up. Let's go Bonner. Gonna need some good minutes from you now.

Just once I want this team to act like they at least give a **** defensively

I was gonna lose it like that dude when the eagles lost theSB if they didn't call that 3 secinds
Quinton

I think you're both right. When dribbling LJ has already been deflected or stripped 3-4 times. Flag can't get a step. George is out. Love is a body guy and doesn't get easy steps on guys. Now if Thamba could that consistently the offense would be crazy good.

When was the last time you saw three seconds called twice in one game? One half?
