Team that hasn’t won under pressure doesn’t win under pressure. News at 11.
I wonder how y'all that kept saying how weak and overrated the Big 10 was feel right now?
if we just hit the bunnies off of our offensive rebounds we'd have won the game. if we just hit a couple more FT's and a three or two we would have won the game.This was exactly what I worried about going into the game.
Their guards are too big and their bigs are too quick.
And we'd pay for it on the defensive end and not be able to take advantage on the offensive end.
Yes, coaches fault we can’t finish a layup or drain free throws. Oh yeah, and our best player comes up with.... nothin.Who gives a about the Big 10?
Our coach just the bed. Week of prep and that's what we got?
And even more troubling? There's like 6 guys on this roster NOT recruited by Kevin Ollie that will give you 15 one night and ZERO the next. That isn't gonna cut it.

Simple and obvious analysis. It doesnt matter how fast you are. It doesnt matter how high you jump. It doesnt matter how strong you are. It just simply comes down to your ability to put the ball in the basket. Right now, Id rather have 3 Rashad Andersons than 3 Rudy Gay’s.We need some shooters. This has been the story all year long. Anemic.
Welp, Kemba's team won national championship shooting 19-55 1-11 from 3.Who gives a about the Big 10?

Can't hit free throws either in big spots. We are not finding tough enough guys yet.
The players' personalities matter too.if we just hit the bunnies off of our offensive rebounds we'd have won the game. if we just hit a couple more FT's and a three or two we would have won the game.
we had plenty of opportunities. we just didn't do anything right.
I believe in Hurley. I think the pros outweigh the cons. But I think he needs to rethink his sideline demeanor. I feel like it's obvious when he's feeling tight and stressed out and the players take on the same feeling. Getting into screaming matches with the officials every game doesn't help us.
Virginia lost, Ohio State lost...... Fire their coaches and get rid of the kids on the rosterYour damn straight it is. Everyone makes recruiting mistakes. But some of these guys have horrible intangibles (SEE COLE at the line vs Creighton Game 1.). That's on the STAFF to identify. These guys SUCKED under pressure. And the guards? Jesus. They were VERY high on Cole and Martin. That's scary.
Bouknight just wasn't the same after the elbow surgery. It is what it is. I don't know if he just lost his conditioning or if it was a mental thing, maybe both.The players' personalities matter too.
Normally you feed off your best player. Bouknight's demeanor is whiny and downtrodden. He's just not the leader we needed.
