Onyema is so bad.

He'll come in handy for extra fouls against teams with size like KU

[VinyVango 667]

Max as the primary ball handler is not pretty … his passing and defense are poor

[Rockethorn1978 6059]

Dribble drive hand off is the worst man offense on the planet and of course we run it. The main thing about RT I was worried about wasn’t recruiting but this right here. His offense is horrible. Not much you can do about a kid catching fire like kolek, but that’s the difference in kolek and abmas, one is a streaky chucker and the other is a basketball scorer that can shoot the rock. 

[Gut Wagon 8017]

Hunter is again an incredible disappointment on both ends of the court. I'd hoped he'd finally come around at the end of last season, but no sign of it here. 

[ClubWhatever 12066]

Horton has been a big disappointment.  He's just a spot up shooter.  That's it.  Doesn't guard or rebbound. 

[CTC2 2626]

I guess we will see how this ages but I’m not real optimistic about Haith’s offense.

What is the plan on offense?  Seems like absolutely random hero ball.

Max, Weaver, Brock, Mitchell, Onyema is the worst offensive lineup since… a while.

Weaver should be taking almost all of his minutes.

I thought Haith was the offensive guru?

[MrX 670]

Kolek is gonna get you if you play shit defense and turn the ball over. Here we are.

I thought Hunter was playing great on both ends at the end of the year; but night and day from this year. This is the guy who was Big XII freshman of the year at Iowa State… what happened?

Embarrassing. Shaka is a bad coach, but we look like we're playing without one.

Would be lying if I said I'm not worried that RT might just be a quality assistant and recruiter but not the guy who gets the team playing as a team.

What’s he going to do to get there? He’s 6’, they don’t need to touch him to contest his shots 

last three years he’s averaged 5.5, 4.7, and 5.1 FTA. he’s down to 1.6 this year. he’s not even trying to get to the rim and:or get fouled. he’s like 23 years old too. he can get fouled if he tries to.

So with us daring them to shoot, and them making it. Shouldn’t we player closer on them?? Idk just a thought 

Marquette getting a ton of wide open looks from three. 8 for 21 so far.  On pace for 42 shots beyond the arc....

On offense we appear unstructured (we suck).

[Mantis Toboggan, MD 1491]

Terry sucks as a head coach. It was dumb to give him the job in the first place. Needs to go after this season.

I don’t think he and Abmas are a good fit.

Mega usage at a mid major will get anyone more FTs

he pops every now and then to take a catch and shoot jumper, and other than that i generally don’t even know if he’s on the floor or not. very disappointing.

javan felix managed to get to the line 1.9 times per game. there is zero excuse for max abmas, having the ball in his hands for what feels like 40 minutes every game, shouldn’t be able to outpace javan f’ing felix at the FT line.

Surprised it only took til the second loss of the season for this take 

[SameSame 1671]

We’re not where we want, but let’s not act like Marquette doesn’t have a good squad.  If they’re hot like like that on the perimeter, they can play with anyone.

Hunter only 9 minutes so far in this game due to picking up the 2 fouls but he has continued his disappearing act again this year.

Typically becomes more active in the second half, hopefully he will get it going yet this year.

they are 38% from three.

[cafe society 2831]

Calm down everybody.  There's another half.  Remember last year when it took us a while to gel with all the new players?  This game means very little apart from our desire to kick Shaka.  Our players are going to be a whole lot better come March.

[BurgleBro 723]

We will be limited with Abmas but it's the best the portal could provide and could have been much worse.  

 

Weaver has shown great athleticism but he needs to be more under control. 

 

Team desperately needs Disu back. 

I have faith Hunter will get better as season progresses.

Yes, struggling on the road against a top ten team means we didn't actually go to the Elite 8 last year.

[Mantis Toboggan, MD 1491]

Second game against a competitive team. Second non-competitive loss.

Talking about the stretches where the damage is done.

We're losing on the road to one of the best teams in the country.

Not our standard.

[Pancho 41818]

People don’t like to give him credit but Marquette is a legit top 10 team. 

We don’t have Disu back. 

I had this down as a loss before the season started, so while I’m disappointed at this performance, I’m not surprised or angry. 

Terry is here 3 more years at minimum so…

[AbeFroman 2020]

There we go, let’s put something together here.

[BigTEAMLittleme 187]

Nice pass by Hunter there

[D3zii 3581]

Think we just gotta face the facts right now we are a solid basketball team, not good or great but not bad either. 
 

hopefully we continue to get better 

[kingkoopa6 8263]

Make up call

[MirrOlure 14397]

Oh This is the game where they fool us into thinking that traveling will be called this year

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Terry is here 3 more years at minimum so…

Sad if true. He ain’t the fucking answer. Need to hire another elite coach who won’t get arrested for a domestic altercation.

[AbeFroman 2020]

Better warn him bout that T

[kingkoopa6 8263]

Damn kolak ballin. 
 

 

[The Ace of Aces 4946]

This one is about over. 

Until Texas gets decent guard play and an inside presence they to me are at best a .500 Big 12 team this year.

Kolek makes this team. He's 8 for 11 from the floor 4 for 7 from three leading erebody with 20

5 boards 4 assists 2 steals

[Js1 82351]

Save us Disu

Well they ain't getting the first one.  Unless Hunter all of a sudden realizes he's not Chris Paul.  

[Hookem2147 20811]

This is probably going to be a lot like Beard’s first season. Some good, some not so good, some wtf. Just gotta hope these type of games make us better and Disu coming back makes a difference.

[Minute Bull 241]

I think Kolek could play one on five and still beat Texas by himself.

[kingkoopa6 8263]

Bro kolek for Naismith 

[TexArcher 36903]

That fucking shot, lol.

[EuroHorn 3144]

Abmas should be benched on the next shot 5 ft beyond 3 pt territory
