Same mental mistakes and lazy mistakes they've made a year.

Bigs wasting fouls by reaching, slapping and not boxing out.

Poor rotations on defense.

Sloppy passing on offense.

Indifference on transition D.

This team is soft and either don't listen to coaches or don't care about what's being taught.
 
Missing a lot of shots, but also not getting offensive boards. Also we shoot so many long distance shots forgetting about Miller.

Speaking of bigs who has really improved (dramatically) over the year(s)?

Not my fault you do not know the game of basketball anymore than your avatar can coach football. You will learn over time and stop looking like a mouth breather, I have faith in you.

His best stat line was 15 rebounds. That's great if rebounds equaled points. The potential exists that 10 of those boards resulted in 0 points because of his awful shooting.

Do you really think that Ollie is doing anything but a poor job with his team? Hamilton is a bad shooter, but when his coach's game plan is to just have him and teammates try and create something out of thin air, that's what you get.
 
It's a new year and the same story as last. This core group of players just can't get it done. I honestly have to say I would be happy with a complete face lift of this team and if Purvis and Hamilton go pro. It's like a broken record and you can predict the outcome of the game. No one on this team can hit a shot under 10 ft with any regularity. It's one game they can't miss from 3 and the next they can't hit one from three. They don't ride the one guy who may be hot and look to get him open shots. The defense at times is just none existent. Not sure what's up with Hamilton lately, looks completely lost. Just plain hard to watch this team.
 
No rhyme or reason on what they do. Adams and Gibbs took it inside a couple of times. Other than that outside shots. It looks like a pick up offense. I hate to bash but man, pathetic. DHam looks lost. At present he looks lost. Hopefully he gets game back. Still quick threes with a full shot clock. I am lost. Play like this at Houston? It is not going to be a pretty sight.

I don't think that Ollie is doing well at all. How long do you keep going with the guy who is 12 for 57 the last three games?

Now I think you are trolling, you cannot be that dumb. You realize he had a better shooting night than Purvis? Or the guy you said will be "special" Adams does nothing out there, but yea it is Hamilton's fault.
 
Hamilton's rebounding numbers are heavily inflated. Instead of running to the wing on a fast break, he crashes for every rebound and more often than not he pilfers rebounds from teammates.

We might get some offensive rebounds if the whole team was not behind the arc.
 
Bad coaching? Which coach on this staff do you think is gonna provide good coaching?

Just where are Hamilton and Purvis going to go pro?

Biggest problem? This team is a team of a lot of great role-players, no real superstars. No Allen, Kemba, Shabazz' and Okafor on this team.
 
Can we even point to "chemistry" being an issue anymore? Our two 5th year transfers have been probably 2 of our 3 best players as of late. To me if new guys walk in and are too options like Miller and Gibbs, then chemistry can't be that much of an issue.

What the hell are you talking about. I said Adams will be special. That's all I've said about him.
 
Hamilton shot awfully tonight, but he played a better game and did more for the team than anyone other than Gibbs and Miller.

Purvis was atrocious, Adams did nothing and needs to get A LOT better, Nolan, well he played like Phil Nolan, and Ollie looks like he has no idea what he is doing. Those were the issues tonight

He's one of the 5 best defensive rebounders in the country. Not allowing him to rebound on defense would be moronic.

drafted a long complaining post, but eh. Not even worth my energy. Lets just hope this team can win the AAC tournament to save face a little bit.

Watch the game. I would argue 50% or more of his rebounds are when no opposing players are under the hoop, or he steals rebounds. he almost killed two of our players going for a rebound that the team had safely secured already.

Yeah, I don't think so.
