Only 1 #BID in store for this team; TX Southern ADV

[kso_FAN]

This team and this staff got exactly what they deserved. An offense with no punch where dribbling with no purpose is the main threat for for long stretches of the game. Mix in completely dumb decision after dumb decision like we saw in the last seconds to absolutely give away a win.  60% of the time the guys run around like they don't care. An entire half with no offensive board or FT attempt. And an opponent that should have gotten this groups full attention because of what they've done in the past week.

I used to complain because I thought Wooly didn't have the quality (or recruiting ability) to get his teams to make plays in clutch situations (and it was true), but at least they consistently played hard. This bunch oscar is rolling out seems to be regressing as the season goes along with no leadership, no drive, and no accountability. Its pathetic to watch and he should be accountable for rolling out another team like his later years at Illinois.

I apologize for being naive enough to believe that maybe he could change because its becoming increasingly obvious that he isn't.

Total lack of execution. Couldn't get the ball in the hands of Foster for FTs. Couldn't snare a must-have rebound.

There is lack of execution and then there is just bad. We are just bad. Gip is an 80% FT shooter and went 4-10. Everything about the last few seconds was terrible. It would be nice to point out just a couple points of lacking execution, but there is just so many. We are just terrible and there's nothing else to say.

Don't foul a three point shooter. We foul a three point shooter.
Don't give up an offensive rebound on missed free throw. We give up an offensive rebound on a missed free thrown. (Hurt could have been playing here.)
Don't throw the ball away on the baseline without touching it. We throw the ball away on the baseline without touching it.
Don't let them get the ball near the basket for a good touch. We let them get the ball in the middle of the lane for an easy shot.

That was only the last 4 seconds. There were other whole stretches like that.

Is this the "turn out the lights" thread for oscar?

Typical of bad teams with bad coaches.

Why not use five?  Then you could have tidy 9th place bookends.  Symmetry.

No, this is the stats thread which is very scientific.

[PIPE]

Why did we have our shortest player inbounding the ball with .9 left? Most teams will put a player on the ball to make the pass tougher.  Yet we put our awful and short player to do that?

Easy answer: oscar.

That makes my point equally well if not better.

Yeah, Bolden is pretty long. Maybe oscar thought he might make a mistake that would cost us the game?

Which is what? That oscar's last several teams were pretty good?

Yeah, I don't think it's fair to say that his later years were bad.

I hate point guards taking the ball out. I saw this at a 1A girls game a couple of weeks ago and it drove me crazy.

[Powercat Posse]

Shoot 53% eFG, have a FTR of 44%, and only turn the ball 1/6 of poss.....
And we still lose at home while being well under 1.00 PPP.

Jevon had a few bonehead plays late, but it's almost embarrassing that Jevon had 6 Reb to 1 for Gip, and they played about the same # of minutes today.   

FAN is right, this team seems to just go through the motions, with little energy or desire, with a not really giving a crap attitude. 

[Lucas Scoopsalot]

Bunch of pussies on this team that exhibit no leadership.

[kso_FAN]

K-State is currently giving up 1.01 points per possession through 12 games. The last time K-State gave up more than 1.00 PPP for a season was 2001-2002.

[The Big Train]

After successfully converting the intentional missed free throw -- a play head coach Mike Davis admits he hasn't practiced with this team -- Texas Southern ran an inbounds play with very little success so far for Jason Carter and it worked. The collapse was complete.

"We called the last play for Jason. We were running this play all season and it hadn't worked yet, hadn't ran it right, hadn't screened right the whole time, and hadn't really gone over in practice because I've been trying to get our tempo to get better. Jason got the ball shot it and it went in."

"I didn't see it coming," Carter added. "It just got there, I got the ball and finished the play. It was just a lucky shot, I guess, I don't know."

for the non OBz on the blog that was Wooly's first season, a team that went 4-12 and actually gave real minutes during conference games to Rashad Washington.  Man, I would love to have Larry Reid on this team tho

[Mixed-Nutz]

We actually seemed to stop the dribble drive at a high level today than most of the season. We had to many turnovers that caused fastbreak points. Nino is always going to be a defensive liability because he as crap for brains. Gip is being super selfish as a player, really disappointing. Edwards seemed to take a small step forward today.

Team looks super young.

[sys]

yeah, williams was the defensive liability.
