Some guys stepped up yesterday but some guys gave us absolutely nothing, Complete passengers.
Brendan Adams is an example of what's going on. Yesterday he had 9 points and 4 rebounds. But in the three previous games, three games, he had 6 points and 3 rebounds. He put up a donut in the WSU double overtime. You can see this up and down the roster. Players yo-yo between nice game and contributing virtually nothing. If Adams had that result in any of three previous games, we probably win. Yesterday Carlton, Vital and AG all tanked. A good game by any of them and we're happy on Monday. There's always an anchor or two or three.
The only consistent thing about this team is it's inconsistency. Rarely does anyone go off like Polley against Tulane or Bouk against Miami. But we seem to have multiple guys tank every game. I'm not saying that everyone has to play well every game. I am saying much of this team plays well below it's talent level on a regular basis.
Either Hurley or the guys themselves have to figure out how to be a positive even when they're off. Or the season is truly lost.
