We lost a close game to a decent team missing one of our best defenders and our 3 point shooters didn’t hit the broad side of an aircraft carrier. We are not a team that goes unbeaten and we are a team that will beat some good teams. Would I like to see a Diggins play some, yup. But it was not going to happen today the way this game was going. We made a really good come back and had a really bad call and a really bad pass cost us and likely Martin was fouled on the play he stepped out of bounds on the rebound . I haven’t a clue where Diggins, Johnson or Springs would’ve been inserted. Certainly not when we were coming back. I have major doubts that we are anywhere near winning this game if Diggins got Gaffney minutes or Johnson or Springs got significant playing time. But I agree with you that it would be great if those guys could be used in some games in the early part of the schedule to get some experience and maybe show that they can be trusted. As I said, Diggins is the one I’m most curious about.
Coachn had a good Thanksgiving, so did I. UConn should be a lot better than MSU, they barfed it up late again, they have a habit of being better than teams and barfing it up late...here's to no more barfing.When was the last time SPARTY won 4 titles? Who are they? Inferior team to us today this season..Sick of BY making excuses for the team.
In Sparty game saw Jordan break down the lane WIDE open in offensive set during critical part of game and he didn't get the ball. Whats going on here.Hes not only not in the game but when he is in he's not getting the ball. If this happened when I was coaching that would be an immediate TO and the player who looked at him and didn't get him the ball would be next to me on the bench for a LONG time.
Bottom line is the seniors need to communicate to the team that this losing stops NOW. Get behind by 20 in the first half by not being ready to play then blowing a 10 point lead with 2 minutes to go. Under Calhoun there would be HELL to, pay.
Face palmToday we gave Akok time replacing Whaley. Gaffney has had his chance at the point. Sonogo doesn't pass out of post.
Diggins Johnson and Springs have have all shown they can play. Time to give them some time
Did you get a nad stomach ache from your Thanksgiving dinner?With our deep bench in comparison we played 8 Izzo played 11. We have Diggins and Johnson who could start for most D1 teams.
The bench failed us yesterday. We need a new bench.
About time Cole,Whaley,Polley and Martin put an end fast to this Ollie Era junk.
You can't tell me Johnson would have gone 0 for 20 like Akok or that Diggins would get us the end of the game we got yesterday.
DH has to start playing Diggins more, they desperately need another ball handler and penetration against man D. Auburn and MSU really harassed our dribblers. They didn’t fear getting beat.
