Gip is so disappointing

[CNS]

Great last play call.  Getting the ball to gip so that he could end the game the same way he played it throughout, getting bigboyed  by any TX post available.

[Mr Bread]

Massive irl loser pussies calling a starting and fairly accomplished D1 basketball player pathetic is always a treat. 

[catzacker]

Meh.  These losses have a familiarity to them though.  Picking out/ focusing on certain plays instead of looking at the bigger picture.

[mocat]

Gip looks so sad all the time now. Like why did I come to k state type sadness

Agreed.  We looked like crap in the paint the entire game.

[Powercat Posse]

Tons of peeps on here ripped on Spradling last year when he went 0-5 ( 0-4 from 3pt). Gip needs to put his big boy pants on and play like a SR/leader. 0-7 FG when u shoot mainly inside 5 feet is just down right bad. He doesn't look like he cares at times either.

I like Gip. Just dissapointed his play is what it is this year

[CNS]

gip def cares.  There is a big diff btwn not caring and not being able to shoot over Ibeh and Miles

[Mr Bread]

No cns he should be able to singlehandedly overcome a massive frontcourt that runs four deep.  I don't understand how you can't see that.  It's like you're not a complete downs baby or something.

He's had 1 really good B12 game... And it came at Ku...our hardest conf (and least likely to win gm) all year. He is shooting under 45% from the field in conf. His body language ( like other teammates) is terrible at times

[Skipper44]

Gip was good v ku because Bill played him 1 on 1.  It sure as crap isn't Gip's fault everyone else can double him with no negative consequences.  The majority of the time he is doubled in the post and we have a grand total of one 3pt threat on the floor.  What a joke.

[Cire]

Gip is great, he was put in an unwinnable situation by his horrible person coach.

Emotions are running high seeing our program go to crap so I'm going to look the other way when otherwise reasonable people say stupid crap about players that they know aren't true.  It's still kind of sad to see it happen regardless of circumstance.

[pvegs]

I mean, Gip does suck, but it's not because he doesn't care. It's because like all the other players in our program, he should be playing in the MVC.

[The Big Train]

i wouldnt go that far.  if we had a good coach our players would be flourishing right now.

[michigancat]

Our roster without Foster makes it really hard on him. He doesn't suck (far from it, actually), but he's probably not a great first option on a big 12 team.

You know gip is a big 12 caliber player, shame on you.

Like most post players Gip is helped by having an outside threat or two that the defense keys on, but even more so because he's 6-7 or whatever. I think most teams are going to guard Tre Harris, but they are still willing to let him beat them because he probably can't (and hadn't in two games). Plus, UT has really good interior defense and is the best shot blocking team in the league, blocking over 1/5 of 2PT attempts in Big 12 play.

This makes the final play even more mindnumbing.

[uncle clean jeans]

about that final play (or I think it was the final play), oscar calls the TO. 20 seconds later they show a shot of Barnes and his team huddled around a clip board. Next, they cut to a shot of oscar, Chet and Chris talking things over nowhere near the rest of the team Not sure if previously discussed, but a common theme of this season's time outs appears to be oscar and Chet arguing about what to do which is very lulz

[CNS]

Losing players and coaches.

[Sandstone Outcropping]

I love gip and I won't stand for this slander

[Jackstack99EMAW]

Gip has been overrated for most of his career for some reason, he's like 6'6", he can't rebound that well in the B12 and gets blocked a ton, and plays meh defense, he's decent, but he's not great or anything.

That's about how he's always been rated, although (I think) he's a better rebounder than you insinuate. I'd have to look up the numbers.

Final play was simply terrible. Anyone halfway watching that game knew our bigs did absolutely nothing in the paint all day. Bottom line on Gip yesterday is that he was physically overmatched.

Gip is an okay rebounder, Nino and Hurt are better.
