Ash needed to be in there all day instead of Mac who had nothing!mucho returning starters
Good bench players
A new deal for him that pays $3 M a year - one of tops in the country
And he’s gotten his team prepared and looking like this?
REALLY?
Yea... only saving grace is that the game took place before Thanksgiving. Hopefully CCC wins a few big ones in conference play to offset this blowout.This is the kind of loss that will hang around our necks the rest of the season. "Northwestern, which lost by XX to Texas Tech ..."
C'mon man. Didn't we talk about this a month ago, i.e., 5 games in 10 days?mucho returning starters

I think you got it. These kids didn't suddenly forget how to play basketball. They just looked like a tired team. At this point the pressure of high expectations is off and they can get back to having a chip on their shoulder and play the underdogs. Flush it.C'mon man. Didn't we talk about this a month ago, i.e., 5 games in 10 days?
Thank the Big Ten for all of this crap. Trying to put 10 pounds of potatoes in a 5 pound sack never works.
Didn't turn our starting line-up in on time. (Coaching blunder.)What was the pre-tip technical about? That was bizarre
Weird. Not like it was going to be any different than the previous 4 games......Didn't turn our starting line-up in on time. (Coaching blunder.)
Uh oh.....The biggest issue with this team has less to do with Collins and more to do with some jealousy within the team.
They’ll either sort it out or they’ll have a disappointing year. It’s up to the players.

Say more....what have you seen that can be explained by jealousy?Explains a lot of what I've seen on the court.

Not me, he seems to have close ties to one player and what goes on in the locker room should stay there.Oh how I wish you'd shed more light on that topic!

That’s why u play the dam subs! Play Brown, Gaines,etc!C'mon man. Didn't we talk about this a month ago, i.e., 5 games in 10 days?

Everyone knows who needs to play and who doesn’t! It will all get worked out one way or another! Mac looked positively sensational for the past two games! Mac played like an AA! But he had nothing today. He needed to be on the bench and Gaines,Ash,and Brown get in there! Lindsey was slow as molasses, and Law looked horrible too!The biggest issue with this team has less to do with Collins and more to do with some jealousy within the team.

Not as much on the offensive end, with the exception of one player not asserting himself as much as you'd think.
Your memory is pretty short. Give him some slack This is not the same team as last year which had been together for a couple years. And Sanjay was more important than many gave him credit for. Plus we have been playing pretty short handed so far this year. Let them work it out.mucho returning starters

The hot shooting is one thing but the turnovers... at year we averaged about 10 and so far this year close to 16. That needs to be straightened out real quickjust wanted to say the OP is bullshit. We're, what, five games removed from the NCAA tournament? This staff has absolutely worked their respective patooties off. These players have the table set for them. They want to be called big boys...time to put on their big boy pants.
I'd venture that Texas Tech won't shoot above 60% over the course of a game the entire year. I'd put money on it. This happens in basketball.
NU is good, but not THAT good. They have to bring it every game.
Guys better step up or Collins will give them an unwelcome surprise.
Texas Tech has five seniors in its starting lineup which is unusual. Last season there was a senior laden team who was pretty tough and caught fire at the end of the season. They were South Carolina and they went to the Final 4. Texas Tech is a hungry team that went 18-14 and did not make the post season.
As for McIntosh, he had an off game and when that happens everything falls apart. As for Vic Law, he has to guard the opponent’s top offensive player which often is the point guard (Keenan Evans this afternoon) and that means running through multiple screens and yes, he is not a natural dribble penetration guy. A lot of that results from the fact that McIntosh is not a great on ball defender. Law looked pretty good on Wednesday night with 30 points. The team turned the ball over way too much and got beat to 50/50 balls. 5th game in 10 days did not help.
Also, it is tough being the hunted and not the hunter.
Team will get better but needs to play better team defense. Pardon can not commit early fouls. Team needs to get better bench contributions. And no, Ash is not the answer. He is not a good enough ball handler to be a PG and is not good enough shooter to be a SG. He can be a low minute defensive replacement, but is neither a true PG or SG. I know it is a running joke to bring it up, but the facts are the facts.

If they aren't "over themselves" after yesterdays debacle then heaven help them......So far they're looking like a team and coach that have been reading too many press clippings. If so, they'd better get over themselves in short order.
that doesn't have much to do with it. Jealousy exist during every season. If one player needs to "Man Up" and be more selfless then that will work itself out as the season progresses. It always does. Other players who want more time can't have their "Barbie Tantrums", NOR their parents. hint hint. The fact remains that nobody is entitled and I have seen NOTHING from the younger players who want more time. They have to "Step Up", they aren't god's little gift. Thus far, I'd say that Gaines is getting eaten alive and not ready. Brown is unsure of himself out there and not a factor... and not himself. Ash is a journeyman at best. Falzon is too soft but doable. Rap needs serious confidence and work. Benson is decent. Pardon has more to give. Law is doing all he can. Skelly deserves minutes but isn't that great. Lindsay is sporadic. Bmac is awesome.The biggest issue with this team has less to do with Collins and more to do with some jealousy within the team.

Man on man is crushing us. At some point, Collins may play a more unpredictable defence. We cant man up.that doesn't have much to do with it. Jealousy exist during every season.

On defense, we must need to play more zone but that's a coaching decision. We are getting eaten alive on defense playing man to man thus far. Collins will figure that out.
