I’m done with this crap. WE CANNOT PLAY LIKE THIS AGAINST A GOOD TEAM. This is how a season ends in the NCAA tournament. Crap second halves. Or crap first halves. We’ve had a few of both! This team needs to figure out how to play an entire game. We did against Illinois and my hope is that we will recover from this and be better from it. I’m playing 8 guys the rest of the season unless we have a couple guys step up, but I’m not seeing it right now. Go 8 or 9 deep and don’t EVER freaking take your foot of the gas!!

Then both praising them and being critical are valid opinions since regardless of what you think, it has no impact. Since we have no influence, why does it matter if he’s critical of what he thinks are red flags?He’s the coach, he’s supposed to be the tough one. You’re a guy posting on a message board. You have no ability to influence the team.
I don’t think he named anyone specifically, but was referring to any of the older guys. I think James was probably one of the ones he meant because he never came back in.I didn’t catch who he was referring to, but Barnes on his radio show with Bob and Bert said that somebody didn’t deserve their minutes and he was going to keep them on the bench even if it got dicey and needed them back on the court. He said that they need to value the minutes that they are given. He also said that the starters or regulars needed to apologize to the reserves for not putting in much of a second half effort.
You know what helps guys learn to step up? Live playing time.I’m done with this crap. WE CANNOT PLAY LIKE THIS AGAINST A GOOD TEAM. This is how a season ends in the NCAA tournament.
