Fundamentally Inept Right Now

[CyCrazy]

I don't look at the thread until the game is decided basically. Figure they will be who they will be so just flip it on.

I stopped going to game threads a decade ago. Its a waste of time.

I don't go in all, I will hit a few when I have time. Usually things like this is what will keep me away for a while.

Another disappointing performance, but all you need to know about this thread is it was started by ZRF and, after bannedman (no offense to you), the next 2 replies were by well-known Cyclone supporters mjhavlo and jereseib.

The staff has had some failures this season, despite the team still achieving at a level greater than what the talent level might suggest. For one, Osun Osunnyi has been a pretty big disappointment and the staff has failed to figure out how to get him more involved or how to unleash him to his full potential. We could've expected a slight numbers dip with the step up in competition from the A10, but he has been a shell of the player he was at Bonaventure for most of the season. I think the staff has been trying to square peg him into a round hole all season long. You can tell he thinks too much when he's out there. He is not free to be the guy he is meant to be. A guy who blocked a lot of shots, grabbed a lot of rebounds, and dunked a lot of basketballs for 4 years in Philly.

Yup...taking a guy who is used to playing around the hoop and quite often moving him out to the high post and even further beyond to set screens.

I dont personal know BC he is a good poster, but you on the other hand are always a smarmy little prick.

Ahh, so it’s personal and that’s why you ignore the other posters in this thread.

It's just too plain to see that Osun isn't being used to his strengths, and is uncomfortable playing in the box TJ is putting him in.

Interested in who I ignored.

You can make points for and against things without blatantly lying. Cortes for OU had started one game all year, and his minutes had been dwindling of late.

Then why comment when you're woefully uninformed? You can just choose not to post.

There was an entire CF thread on the guy that made it abundantly clear what his role on the team was.

Osun is also injured so further limited.

The Rulzzz game day thread is so helpful, I always check the access and announcers there. He’s the most reliable man in my life!

I have thought for a while that some of the coaches in the league just adjust better in game and the second time they play us. I suppose this might improve as our staff gets more experienced. There are a lot of good coaches in the league.

The injuries I think everyone has to deal with. I seem to remember Fred at times when the team got in a slump just doing some fun non basketball things as a team. This was probably a Fred thing and not a TJ inspired thing. But we’re at the point where they seem sometimes to just be worn down.

I didn't even read those quotes, I don't read every post in any thread. Who does that?

 

[ISUTex]

So you basically pay attention to zero other stuff in the conference?

I don't follow OU basketball. Hell OU fans don't even follow OU basketball. I know they suck and we just lost to them at home. Other than that I don't give a **** about them.

 

[CoKane]

That’s recruiting and coaching.

Its why you:

1. Dont bet on people being around until they've made it official

2. Don't bank schollys

I think I can guess the answer to your question.

Yeah he’s kind of pervy but he’s all right.Every basketball thread these days just turns to personal attacks. He’s lucky he didn’t read the thread about Bijan Cortes. Wish I hadn’t.

In terms of natural talent, probably the least offensively talented team in the conference therefore it has to win through defense. The shooters are slumping right now so the offense looks even worse. It's cute how the internet coaches want the staff "held accountable " Exceeded expectations for the year in my book. I'm sure some will be upset if they don't make the sweet 16.

I'm not even sure its slumping shooters...we just don't have guys going to the basket to make the defense help/adjust thus leading to open 3's. Compare that to OU who kept driving to the bucket til we helped and found an open shooter. Several times Gabe took one or two dribbles and gave up on the drive, that isn't the guy I saw score vs. Wisconsin last year. Kunc, Grill, not ball handlers. Other than Holmes taking it to the hole and sometimes Lipsey, we are an easy pressure guard right now. Deny the cuts/ switch on screens/face guard, and the rest is history. Unfortunate.
Osun's injury didn't help matters.

My only gripe with your middle paragraph is that today, it was Porter Moser who out adjusted and out coached TJ. Cw and Blum are both on record sharing the opinion he is probably not the long term answer for their program. I hate to think a guy who is not Big 12 coaching material had his way with TJ today.

I don’t doubt that you didn’t bother to read the context of the thread before personally attacking me. Jfc.

OU, UT, KState, TT are schools that have just got new coaches the last couple years, besides us. KState was a mess before Tang showed up. With todays portal, a coach can show their ability in three years in basketball.
