More TOs than points the final 5 minutes. We tend to have these spells. I’m sure Bruce is gassed, but he seems timid. His defender is all up in him and he’s being passive. Would like to see him try to drive by his defender and force Edy to step up or pass out.
Holtmann made questionable decisions all year. Where’s Gayle been? Why play Zed so long? Where’s Okpara been? Too much Ice and McNeil early on, etc etc. Really bad coaching job by him. Was forced to play the young guys and we’ve looked way better.
Holtmann is getting another year deserved or not. He has to bring all the young guys back and the bare minimum to keep his job next year is the sweet sixteen imo
If any key player jumps to the nba or transfers, that’s an unforgivable failure. glad the team got to make a run in this tourney. Next year is make or break for holtmann
You’d think we’d just need to bring in a couple good transfers to pair with the young guys. But we say that every year, why should we trust Holtmann will bring in the right guys? Really hope ND comes and pulls him away.
Would be amazing. lots of open positions in the starting 5, and bench. Bruce Gayle Unknown Unknown Okpara (probably Zed)
Didn't like Holtmann's comments about how we may be too injured to not accept another tournament invite. CBI is a joke and turn that shit down but we were 3 levels below NIT for 2 months and Gayle and Okpara need all the experience they can get. Too much victim bullshit out of him.
Eh.....we don't know what injuries these guys are dealing with/could already see today how short on bodies they were getting. I'd also think it's not his choice....if Gene says you're going to the NIT, you're going to the NIT. These dudes play basketball all year long...don't think missing out on a couple games against Towson and Furman would make much of a difference in the long run.
Knew it was a lukewarm take but posted anyways, kind of an accumulation of comments that have me annoyed with Holtmann. He's no Jim Boeheim but would like him to take more responsibility
watched it with my parents tonight most exciting basketball game I’ve watched in a long time man. We NEED to get #2 from Kent State Malique Jacobs!! That barbarian psycho was murking motherfuckers in the paint. Seemed like he had 38 offensive rebounds!!
I got absurdly drunk at a couple of Kent State bball games back in the day when Antonio Gates younger brother was on the team.
