Wrong, Jalen was fine. That was a bonehead play but the team had plenty of opportunities to win the game before that. I was screaming at Jalen to take that ball to the hoop before he passed it to the other team. Plus, he's a freshman give him a break. I would continue to let him run the offense and give him the hook if he gets too screwed up. Jalen offers us a dimension we don't have with anyone else it seems and allows Gibbs to play off the ball where he is better. Jalen defers to the other guys including Hamilton because he is the younger player. He is mistake prone because of his lack of experience but I would still rather give him the ball and let him run it unless he is just completely ineffective which has sometimes been the case.

The problem on that play was he wasn't trying to run the offense. He was trying to defer to DHAM when he need to be more assertive with it. DHAM shouldn't be getting the ball that far out to start the offense.
 
we got 6 stops on defense... then had two shot clock violations and 4 misses at the rim... that's what cost us

We are going to have to put Jalen at the point. He is always deferring the dribbling to Dham or SG. On that play he was passing it to dham who was covered. He needs to just run the offense and let those guys play off the ball. I can't stand Sterling Gibbs and how many times he decided to not even look at Shon Miller inside and either threw it to Dham or try to dribble past his guy with the shot clock going down. SG can be very frustrating to watch with the ball in his hands. I know Dham isn't much better but at least he provide us with rebounds and assists. I think KO has to back JA to take control of the team and not always defer to the Dham and SG as he is the only person who can penetrate effectively and dish or score. We will have to live with errors. I mean we are basically going to have to win the AAC Tournament to make the big dance. Why not try to get our point guard acclimated to leading the team for that run.

How many times did Gibbs lose the handle while dribbling around? I counted at least 3 or 4. Jalen is the best ball handler on the team. He needs to be out there.

I've been pee pee slapped because I mention DHAMs inadequacies. Thank you though.

You were? I can't believe anyone would slap your pee pee on any discussion about DHams inadequacies, it's so obvious.

It's only a joke...

Jerry and I don't see eye to eye on the level of DHAMS contributions. He's entitled to his opinion.

Jerry's a great guy and knows his stuff, I mostly agree too. But while he is entitled to his opinion, it's his opinion that is entitled at times.;)

None of that happened in crunch time but Jalen's turnover did. Not sure what you don't understand here but I'm done

Not sure what you don't understand. Yes it happened in crunch time but there were many other negative plays which affected the final score. You'd make a great coach.
 
Sounds like plenty of blame all around. At this point in the season freshman mistakes should not be happening at this rate for Jalen he should be farther along imo just saying. There is a whole laundry list of reasons why we lost.
 
As one poster said this is starting to be like last year. These 1 or 2 pt.loses are brutal.
