If you can't shoot outside, you have no offense. With Jackson graduating, who we got next year? Probably Tucker-Horton will lead the team in 3 pt %. Pathetic. Need at least 2 shooters.

I thought it started at 5...but it was on the DVR. I watched the first half...saw the first 2 minutes of the 2nd realized that it was only going to make me angry (check the score on espn.com & verified that my suspicions were correct) and I deleted it.
That said...the first half we played careless, unmotivated, and lax.
Like monkey's humping a football.
I don't know what I saw...I just know I never want to see it again.

We'll have to use the call-in show to find out.
Note: Nobody call into the show with this question.
I think both sides have some things to figure out.
Team lacks a leader, all good teams have a take charge guy on the court. Wigginton is trying to be that guy I think
I guess all I can say is that team was the poster child for uninspired. Said it before and I will say it again, no leaders on this team. Just a bunch of guys that think they can win it on their own if they can just hit half a dozen off balance jumpers.
Not Prohm's fault, just needed to get one of several of the grad transfers that choice not to be Clones. What he got was role players and a couple of guys that will help next year.

No hate here. Our best shooter goes 2/8 from three and that was just the start of our offensive struggles. Not good, but that's going to happen.
What does need to get shored up however is-- in bounding, FTs, proper passing, and guarding the 3 point line. I hope the staff can keep the team's head up and keep working on the fundamentals.

And, along those lines, nobody thinks that Prohm is their drinking buddy.
For real though, burn those godawful ugly gray uniforms.
I agree with this. You cannot shoot 7-17 from the line (Wiggington 1-7 at one point - not sure if he made any after that), and miss wide open shots and expect to win. The defense was, generally, good enough for us to have been in the game. I'm very upset with our performance, but it isn't like we were a sieve on defense (like we were vs TCU or like that ToE).
Just kind of reminded me of the team in the year with Brackens and Gilstrap where they regressed as the year went on.
It is all Prohms fault. He is the HC and paid well to figure it out.
This is what has me worried about next year. Sure, we've got a really talented class coming in, but none of them are what you consider to be "pure shooters" at all. On top of that, we lose Jackson too.
I've always believed you MUST have a team full of guys capable of putting the ball in the hole. Last year at times, we had 4 guys on the floor that teams couldn't leave alone anywhere on the floor. This year, we have DJ and at times Wiggi, but that's about all any teams have to worry about. And next year might not be much better from the outside.
We really need Lewis to become our shooter, and then maybe add one more somehow.
Prohm sets the tone, and when leadership doesn't naturally occur he puts it in place. Lack of heart, drive and desire is a reflection of his leadership
Lewis is with Long in the doghouse apparently. But i agree he needs more minutes.
I agree concerning the uniforms, but it was the right decision by Prohm so at least the actual school colors of Cardinal and Gold were not embarrassed.
