I think everyone in the building knew DO was getting blocked on that weak layup drive attempt

[immortal13 4059]

We won the half!!!

[Goo Punch 4275]

for a team that "wants to run" we sure do take forever to get the ball in bounds after a make.

1 point lead at the half against the mighty Monroe warhawks. Scoring is hard

Tight nets

This first half....

[Cameltoe 114]

Someone put a body on Travis Munnings

[Billy Pilgrim 1963]

Yeesh- first game I’ve watched this year....we suck. New year, same problems: can’t make layups, can’t make free throws.

[Dbeasy 15051]

Something is strange about Osetkowski. He seems worse than last year, where he seemed worse than the year before. He also doesn’t seem very happy on the court. No smiles, very little emotion. You’d think losing 25 pounds would have the opposite effect.

[Cameltoe 114]

Nah man, quitting food makes you crabby as hell

Coleman and Sims also look upset at having to play basketball.

we can't shoot mainly because we don't get good shots in any type of flow.   this year will be a beating without Bamba helping erase on the defensive end and cleaning up the mess on the O end.  Sims is good but he's not Bamba.

 

[Billy Pilgrim 1963]

They’re probably pissed because it’s such a struggle to find an open shot with these shitty-ass offensive sets 

[Fozzz 152]

I have some concerns regarding Coleman as a distributor.

His hair sucks this year.

amazing how quiet the drum is during the free throws.

everyone is thinking "we aren't going to lose to ULM are we?"

[Cameltoe 114]

If it's any concession Vermont is up on Kansas right now.

 

[Revolution512 1487]

Best 5 I’ve seen thus far...

coleman, Roach, Hayes, Sims and Ramey. It’s our best pressure 5 as well.

[Goo Punch 4275]

I've heard pancho say that there is no over the back foul in college, but that referee clearly just said "over the back" on that call.

Coleman is a defensive liability.  He is getting taken to school by a 6 foot white dude from the ymca.  Then on offense he does not create anything.

Vic stopped calling him?

[dcar00 14210]

Is Long a true PG?  

[UTEX_ME 4762]

just seems like a leaderless group throwing it up there and hoping for the best. 

[jinx 2635]

I'm seriously curious what we practice.  We are good at almost nothing.  

[dcar00 14210]

can we get a 6 foot white guy who can shoot?

[Bottlecap 1523]

hepa is a sight for bleeding eyes off the ball. i'm sure his eagerness for off ball movement will be killed by shaka by conference

There still isn’t “over the back” rather it’s technically a push foul for displacement. 

 

Older officials who are some of the 1%ers of referees (like those in this game) won’t be called out on using the wrong vernacular.

what? our passes around the perimeter are spot on. 

 

Oh, I see you said almost....

Yes. He is a very smart player.  He needs to get more aggressive.  That will come with games.  Right now he is just looking to pass unless he is wide open.  Several times  he’s gotten his man in the air and then just passed it. 

[jinx 2635]

Either nobody moves at all or they crowd on top of each other in the post.  I'm no basketball expert but it is just hard to watch

This is such an accurate description. It's crazy how there is zero development of players from year to year. Literally nobody improves.

Feel like that’s a little dramatic.... sims from start of last year till the end. Roach from almost leaving to now borderline mythical draftable.

which is why it will likely be over this year.

[jinx 2635]

Lance Blanks is a great addition to the broadcasts.  He says the things I am thinking.  Like "somebody wearing orange needs to get those loose balls."

i realize how that sounds.  But typing on an iPad sucks so it stays.  

[dcar00 14210]

like blanks but speculating on ULM coming out of the Zone down 5 is uhhh...

[dcar00 14210]

good job by coleman of being aggressive there.

[Newdoc 3440]

The new players are gooood.

[Cameltoe 114]

Alright we got a small lead on the mighty Warhawks of Monroe. Now milk the clock and pray!

Edited November 13, 2018 by Cameltoe

[dcar00 14210]

they called Long OOB and not a foul?

[jinx 2635]

They didn't close well in the first two.  Closing this out by ten would be a good step.  

[ClubWhatever 12144]

the zone has been the difference because their guards were breaking our guards down in man

what the hell is that call on Hayes.  horrible.

Since this year isn't about shuttling any golden boys to the NBA, maybe we just play zone the whole time? It isn't against the rules ya know.

yep. not good if the warhawks can break us down. good to get some zone practice because we are going to need it.

Seems they are more willing to run on offense after playing zone too

[Machinator 32099]

Does someone want to explain that last foul called on Hayes?

probably some new "point of emphasis" thing which will get tossed away in conf because every kansas big will foul out in 10 minutes.
