Cougar Basketball

This team might be have better top end talent but they play with less heart than previous years.

 

Either this team is in a deep slump or they are not as good as we thought they were. They are making silly mistakes that March/April teams don't make.

 

Turned it off. I'm done. If they don't care, I don't care.

 

worst game in forever.

0-3 in the most important stretch of the season. concerning.

 

Coogs have zero halfcourt offense. It's been a problem for about a decade.

If they're not hitting 3s or creating points via turnovers or getting offensive rebounds they have no offense.

 

They're not as good. The cracks have been showing for a while now. They need a much more experience or to change schemes.

 

This is looking like the most disappointing season in the Sampson era. Every year was basically momentum-building, moving forward, even the early seasons. This feels like a backslide year. Bound to happen at some point. Besides the terrible, terrible offense, there’s just a lack of effort I don’t think I’ve seen from a Sampson team.

 

I wonder if the young team has hit a wall when they can't just out talent the other team

 

We just dont have that offensive hub to carry us when shots arent falling like we did with jwan.
Cant score if we arent turning over teams.

Whatever. Lets just hope for the best and enjoy the ride.

 

Throw the ball around in the halfcourt and jack up a 3.

It's the same offense we've seen for years.

 

They have 2 of the most experienced guards in the nation and one of the best freshman.

At some point, on offense, you have to stop blaming the players.

 

this game has radicalized me.

Im a big kansas hater now.

 

Last 2 games haven't really been close. Dreadful all around.

 

Why?

I love Kelvin, but Bill Self is a vastly superior coach.

 

I'm focusing more on the defense. I expect the offense to have problems, but they're rotating at a half step behind and sometimes a full step behind where they need to be. It's too complicated of a system that relies on so many freshmen and transfers.

 

I hate seeing others having fun.

 

I'm still plugged in for this season but i cant help but wonder just how weird next seasons team will be.

You're probably looking at replacing 4/5 starters, maybe all 5 of them. Transfer class is going to have be elite to keep this thing rolling.

 

2 senior guards + Tugler = blame the freshmen?

meh, I'm just salty and tired of the same...ignore me

 

They are not who we thought they were. I am starting to wonder if the coach's "intense screaming" style really works with the current generation. The players don't seem moved by it. Against ISU they played hard and generally effectively. But against AU and Kansas, they looked subpar.
