I agree. But I thought last night was a little closer to calling out his players then he has in the past. Everyone’s frustrated from players to staff to fans. They know what they had in front of them and what the loss last night means. It will be interesting to see how they respond at TCU.

I’d have sacrificed some offense and sat Jake and Haliburton more. Jacobsen plays hard but he also plays like he’s 6’6”. And makes some plays that are kind of dumb. And he’s not shooting it very well at the moment. Haliburton is critical to our offense, but doesn’t punch about his 170# as well. I’d like to see them start Lard and Wigginton to shake things up and maybe open up opportunities for a couple more bench guys.
I watched Haliburton on multiple occasions provide back side help when Baylor was running the pick and roll. He intercepted a pass or two and certainly caused Baylor not to attempt to make a pass on other occasions. I think Haliburton is easily the most savy player we have on the court most of the time which is amazing since he is only a Freshman. He just sees things that other players don't recognize.
Agree that he likely was out coached, but would be interested in detail how he was out coached.
Getting back in transition alludes to the offensive glass. That wasn't our problem. When we go four guards our guards have to be able to get on the defensive glass and him having one rebound wont cut it.
Yeah, I hate being critical of those two because they've done all they've been asked to, and more.
Totally. Lard is our only legit big down low. Maybe Conditt could have given some minuets but I suspect he would have been pushed around. This was the kind of game we could have really used Solomon Young. Put him and Lard on the floor together and let them rebound and outlet to our guards for fast breaks. We would have run them out of the gym.
There’ve been several games this year where it’d have been nice to have Solo down low to shove some dudes around. Hope he’s back to 100% next season.
Yeah, he makes all the right plays, and we play like crap when he is off the court. I am rethinking that one a little bit
Iowa comes to mind. Teams that crash the offensive glass and keep us out of our transition game usually beat us.
First, it’s reproach.
Second, not flying off the handle over a loss isn’t suggesting he’s above said reproach.
Third, it’s not that he’s immune to criticism, it’s that the people with agendas come on here and fly off the handle. Then completely disappear when we win. That’s not about coaching.
Fourth, this team is still 19-7 and is playing for a seed, and it would be good to see how the season plays out before losing your mind.
I would not be surprised at all if that is exactly what ends up happening.
