  1. I don't think Mitchell will suddenly learn to shoot in the pros. So what will he be with all that height, wingspan and athleticism? I fear he'll be Kai Jones without the dance moves.
  2. They made jumpers. Except for Booker, we didn't make anything. Did Gonzales even score in the second half? And why can no one grab the ball when it matters? Just a really bad effort on many fronts. Still, but for a couple really tough calls, we'd have won anyway. As infuriating a loss as we've had.
  3. We're getting nothing offensively out of some folks who normally score. Booker's exhausted and simply can't do it all.
  4. Need a big dose of Disu right now, then Abmas later.
  5. Pivotal stretch here. I know, they all are...but just saying. Don't give them any realistic hope at all.
  6. Every roster changes with a coaching hire, provided it's made between seasons. That's part of what you expect and generally need to happen. Of course, among players with eligibility left, you hope the best guys stay and the worst leave, with an overall higher floor set by the replacements. We didn't get that. Losing Morris was a big talent negative. At least Weaver has softened the blow there, in terms of hustle and culture. But we certainly haven't benefited much from Shedrick, Horton, Onyema or even Abmas here lately. The bigger and more physical B12 teams have guys like them for lunch. Meanwhile, the returnees have disappointed as a group. Disu and for the most part Mitchell have done their jobs, but Hunter and Cunningham clearly haven't. Maybe the two stud freshmen who bailed would have made those regressions easier to accept, but that's all moot. Aside from the "Texas" on their jerseys, the only common denominator in all this is the head coach.
  7. Colorado looks really bad on offense, and UCLA isn't much better. Hard to imagine these are even 3 seeds. Hope at least one is in our region.
  8. Well...Beard hired him into a position that let him become interim HC when Beard got himself canned. So in that sense, we can blame Beard. But who am I trying to fool here? No one. Terry's woes are all on Terry.
  9. So let's follow that up by being even worse so far today. Maybe our leaders need to lead.
  10. If that actually worked, I'd have posted it every time we batted after the Atwood HR last night. 😝
  11. The depths of offensive ineptitude are being plumbed in this one.
  12. If there's any good news tonight, it's that it took us going to extra innings in a defenseless game to barely lose to the "best" pitcher in the land. I'm still not calling that positive, but it wasn't like we got blasted.
  13. Down 0-12 since I turned it on. So for everyone's good, I just turned off.
  14. Losing 75-70 sounds optimistic to me. To be that close we'll probably need to play very well and get a little help from our hosts.
  15. Channeling all his focus into the airball FT
  16. Its crossed my mind that perhaps an ISU booster contributed to his Texas NIL.
  17. I think we all did. Other than changing conferences, what do we see (not just today, but any day) that gives us hope for a better season in 2025? I want to think we'll improve, but I certainly can't point to anything that's happening on the court.
