When you've scored 72 and are 2-18 from three maybe you should stop f'ing shooting threes

To be honest I'm just frustrated. We have had so many years now without a deep tournament run, and watching the offense in marque games this year makes it seem like more of the same. I feel like we have a solid Defense, just wish we had more consistency on offense. We need to fix our three point shooting. We don't take take them in rhythm. Even if they are open guys are falling one way or the other, shooting before they have even caught the pass, or fading away/moving forward. You can tell when guys are taking a comfortable shot and we make a lot of those. Feel like we just take too many off balance threes, especially after passing up better rhythm threes earlier in possessions. I hope we can find the answers on O in enough time to set ourselves up for a good tourney run.

My bad I thought I saw 7-2. Our whole conference is basically quad 1 so it stands that we would have some wins in there but we are 3-5 against quad 1 and 7-6 over all against the top half of college basketball. Okay but we have a lot of room to improve and I just haven't seen it on the offensive end yet. Maybe we will find it but most nights, even in wins, we look lost on offense

You edited this post from 7-2 to 7-4 and you are still wrong. It is 7-6 after tonight. So we are basically .500 against the top half of the NCAA. And are below .500 against quad 1.

I mean if stating what has actually happened in the season so far is that to you then I guess so. For the most part we have sucked royally on the road. We have not played well against good teams. We have the Tenn win, but we blew a 17 point lead by going scoreless for 5 minutes and 32 seconds. Needed a FT in the final seconds to pull that out. We have played the easy part of our schedule. Maybe I'm jaded from watching this same shit over and over the last 5 seasons but if this team wants to do any damage this year they are gonna have to find something fast. Cause when they play decent teams, they have no offensive answer.

What good team have we played good against? We even tried to crap away the Tennessee game?

Why don't you go tell it to the team. When they stop bringing the weak shit then you can worry about us.

Everyone cut the eye holes out of your brown grocery sacks. With the schedule we got left, it's about to get ugly

Guess there is a reason all these dudes transfered.

This team has just miss the tourney again or 1 and done written all over it.

We will. Tech fans bought out our Arena too

When all you are doing is shooting threes you aren't going to get many

Well when all you do is take 3's you better have a few

This is the same damn team as the last 5 years. Just Jack up 3's at nauseum no matter what.

I think tonight shows Carr needs less time at the point. Too many possessions of no passes and forcing up bad shots.

Bishops paint game seems pretty weak

For one game at least, the team plays better when Cunningham is on the floor than they do when Carr is the primary ball handler.

Brock can, he's just saving it.

Got it. Was a little late getting the game on.

Marcus Carr in the doghouse?

Ramey and Carr are the same player. When they are on the court together our offense grinds to a halt because they are going to play hero ball. On a night where one of them is hot it works out, but most nights they are both pressing to much to prove they are THE guy and the end up taking bad, out of rhythm shots. For this offense to improve, Beard has to address this.

We have some good players, just doesn't really seem to translate into a good team. I feel like Ramey and Carr are constantly trying to prove that they are the teams big scorer, and the offense sufers because of it. The ball movement just isn't as good as it was early in the season.

I didn't say that they thought they were better than everyone else. I said they have it good which takes the edge away. The problem in the past has been with coached being able to motivate them past that. I also said we don't know yet if our 2 new coachs can accomplish this. Reading comprehension is key.

I hate to say it but I think what Troy Aikman said about the Cowboys is true about our major sports across the board. We recruit guys that come in, see all the amenities and think they have made it. They either lack the edge or lose it once they get here. You can see it in both Basketball and Football, where we don't really have any player lead teams, and no real accountability. It takes the right coach to come in and instill that culture and make sure that despite all the amenities, and quality of the college experience you get here, you still play with an edge. Shaka may not have been that coach, but when he recruits players that already have that chip on their shoulder then he can get the most out of them. Having to put that chip on their shoulder may not be his strength. Seems like with all the new coaching, we keep seeing the same results here, that culture is really the big problem. Maybe Beard and Sark are the guys that can instill that edge into guys that are living the good life on campus here, but one thing is for sure, until we find those coaches, we are doomed to swim around in mediocrity.
