Hot Take

[EBonz30]

The ball movement continues to be a problem, roles are still not totally defined, & too much catching and standing. Hopefully this improves & they can start playing more as a team in sync offensively. The assist to turnover ratio continues to exemplify above.

I know it’s hard to swallow a loss like this but, again I think we have to remember it takes years to build a program that forms a winning culture, as obviously we saw with Calhoun. I think Hurley’s resume speaks for itself & I believe he is the guy who will make it happen...

Disappointing loss today. Adams is bad right now. When he's not playing well, he goes in tank. Vital, with all of his warts, plays incredibly hard.

I love him and I know he's the right guy for the job...but Hurley got taken to school by Wrght today.

Remember...this season is a success with an NIT bid. Anything else is gravy.

A message needs to be sent to Jalen. I don’t know how but today was unacceptable. We were better without him on the court

I question how much Jalen is really enjoying basketball right now

Doesn’t seem like he is at all. Jalen coming in had confidence and moxy. He’s lost all of that. He’s a shell of himself right now

Maybe he got divorced too.

Is this our 2nd twenty point blowout?
Last year how many?

8?

In conference?

Jalen has never really been the guy, personality wise, that this board has wanted and expected him to be since day 1.

If I could put it in a simple sentence, Jalen cares more about his current Instagram posts than he does his legacy here, sometimes it just be like that.

Then bench him

Many people when they get divorced are happier...

The only huge disappointment I have with Hurley for now is his acceptance of Jalen's crappy play. He sees too many minutes for a guy who is crapping himself in big games and doesn't seem engaged as a senior leader should be. It's laughable the league coached believe he's a first teamer. He's yet to get in his mans face when playing D, rolls up his pants like he's ready to play D but never makes his guy go one way or the other. Was hoping for more than we are seeing but never expected even less than his 1st 3 years he's awful.

Even if Jalen is in a funk he's still much better than the replacement

#1 I think the last one was only 19.

Sorry I’m not the coach bro

Jalen's and Tarin Smith's numbers are close.

It's also my biggest gripe with Hurley, there have now been a few games where Jalen should have been benched.

Bench Jalen for who exactly? Branden Adams?

The point is Jalen is allowed to play totally aloof out there and never sits. He should give us the best chance to win but the message is Jalen can do whatever he wants, in recent games he hasn't even given us the best chance to win. Cobb gives us a better chance to win a game like today than Carlton does but Cobb for whatever reason is in the doghouse.

You would just like consistency in how the messages are sent, my guess is Hurley knows he can't sit Jalen because he's too fragile snd will check out even more than he already has.

Positive spin zone... the other guys are developing while Jalen may have hit a wall.

Last year if Jalen was off the court it was a nightmare. This year we’ve shown to be more than capable. Probably in large part because of Alterique. Regardless, if the others keep developing like they have the years to come could be special.

And a random aside, the line up of CV, Tarin, B Adams, Wilson, and Yakwe should never happen again vs a high major team.

How about Sid? Maybe play the younger players. Sid did little to impress yesterday but at least he appeared to hustle and try.

It's kind of bull. You have to bench a player for weak practices to set the culture (Cobb). But you can't give less minutes to a guy that stinks it up during the game for "culture".
We have 3 other usable guards.

Look at Offset. He doesn’t seem very happy
