Feels bad man

Bout to lose a lot of money

 

My dumbass got locked out of my original account, so here I am.

 

The basketball thing is over.

It was fun while it lasted, i guess.

 

+15 on the glass and still lost. yikes.

 

The 1st OSU game broke them. Haven't been the same since Johnson fouled out

 

I love Pike, but our offensive sets are just . . . woof.

 

hope they pay him a huge salary

 

I think its pretty great that Newark/Camden kids went from being qualifying risks to us having a Camden kid and 2 Newark kids as early enrollees.

 

And they are like 3 of the top 5 players in this class.

 

season over

 

What happened to this team? Since Iowa they’ve been ice cold and don’t even show fight, aside from about 6 minutes tonight and I guess the Wisco game. I get some guys aren’t 100%, but consistently missing layups, not going hard for boards (most glaring thing to me), and I’m not even going to count the FT fiasco, that’s some mental voodoo shit.

 

its all mental at this point. every missed free throw and every basket the other team hits completely demoralizes them. its bad.

 

The body language our guys have after the other team scores (particularly Myles) is the most frustrating thing. It's fucking basketball, they're going to score. Stop being a little bitch when it happens.

 

Should start counting how many times Stephen Bardo says "Yea, that's not a foul." During our games.

 

I really liked what Pike did with the lineup changes. I’m a big Mathis fan, but he has been atrocious lately and only played 3 mins yesterday. Also Myles and Geo looked much better. Geo at point really helped get the ball moving better. Young is a game changer, but has been getting a little Corey Sanders like trying to do everything wildly. Good win. Hopefully they keep the momentum up. Bardo seems to like us a lot, so that’s a nice change to most announcers who don’t even know the names of our players.

 

this team needs to find a way to beat michigan state tomorrow. cant lose in these:

 

Well that was fun again

 

Geo's back.

 

so we have good wrestlers, but winning duals just doesnt seem to be our thing.

 

We back lol at anyone who doubted Corch Pikiell even for a second

 

Oh no we suck again!

 

i love the first 30 seconds:

 

Stop settling for threes

 

How the fuck was that a T

 

Is it surprising after Geo's T last week?

 

Phantom and 1

 

Refs are in their heads again

 

We are not a good team when Myles is on the bench

 

Carr just throwing himself to the floor

 

That was big, boys.

 

Ugly win. Just as expected

 

Thank god we did not lose that game for Geo

 

Oh look, Eugene's bitcha** is on FS1 now.

 

Young got benched in the 2nd half it seemed

 

Him and Mathis have been off. Young is just straight up missing layups

 

After a 2nd half of doing exactly this, him throwing up the forced airball to clinch it was a pure chef's kiss

 

Mathis seems out of shape.

 

He's attempting to push off each time. Geo & Mac just started pulling their hips back and he was pushing air and falling down.

Didn’t get to watch the game until I woke up this morning.
If you had told me, “here’s what happens... we almost blow it by giving up 2-3 offensive rebounds every possession but our free throw shooting saves us.” :-/

(Okay so it was really Geo that saved us but still...)

 

Geo has to be top 5 in the country in crunch time, right? I don't know if I'd want the ball in anyone else's hands.

 

We're the best #25 team in the country
