We can’t be this bad 8 or however many years into his tenure. I’m sick of the excuses thrown out. Basketball is the easiest sport to turn around and our inability to do so is maddening. We’ve done it in football and that’s far more challenging to do.
Really good players don't want to come to a small private school with no fan base and no tradition. It would take a miracle worker. CCC has his strengths but he ain't a miracle worker.
I agree. He’s changing our image, which is huge. Better things will come because of it. Pound the rock!
To a team that was 1-5 in the B1g playing under an interim head coach not paid $3 Million+.........
This is a really not the right analysis in my view. When we have been good we’ve had great crowds. They will come (when they can. Every gym is empty right now for those that didn’t notice). And this team is a lot closer than you give it credit for being. When you play a bunch of ranked teams in a row you can get down and quit, or you can stay resilient and let it make you better. That’s not to say I was not frustrated with how the game went down the stretch. We didn’t take the right shots or do what we needed to do on defense even though they tried to hand us the game a couple times. Still this team can win some games and be quite good. We were closer to that tonight and I think because the shot selection and perhaps minutes played with the right rotations were much better. Don’t give up.
... to the worst team in the conference during a 7 game losing streak. Chris Collins is now 16-52 (.235) in the B1G over the last 4 seasons.
Pathetic, nothing will change. But hey, he has a great class that is coming in......maybe next year. This whole operation is not very good and has not been for a while.
And he’s fortunate to have talented players who got the better of us tonight, with some help from the refs.
I think we all see potential with these players. But when you have a guy take sho6s he has little chance of making night after night....
A team the played 4 games in 6 days. I remember last season how much fatigue was mentioned as a reason for us to look bad in games.
I agree there is some bad shot selection and not playing within the offensive flow in “some instances”
Tonight, Boo-Berry-Gaines-Kopp-Nance outscored PSU 11-4 in 3:10 of playing time. Boo-Audige-Gaines-Kopp-Nance, on the other hand...was the lineup that cost us the game, getting outscored 7-0 in 3:16 of playing time late in the 2nd half.
I'd be curious to know what Audige +/- is for the season? Where can I see all of our players?
I don't have the stats in front of me at the moment but I want to say he is -101 on the season, by far the worst of all of our players. Like, it's not close.
