take this shit to the Bahamas, it will be the same shit as every other out of conference neutral court match up in the woody era. will get embarrassed.
If we face the Zags and play like this, they will run us off the court.Yup, same old shtick. I'm ready for football game, this crap is boring
3 games no matter what, Louisville will give us all we want in the opener get by them will probably get blown out by GonzagaThey will find out next week what kind of team they have. I think they get at least two games even if they lost the first and may get three games if they lose their 2nd game. Not sure and my memory sucks anymore.
The problem is they don't seem conditioned to play hard all the time. They lack situational awareness and the most basic fundamentals. This team has so much talent but for whatever reason, they're simply not being coached up.They will find out next week what kind of team they have.

The best example of lack of awareness and basic fundamentals ... Malik does not block out on a missed FT by them and they get the rebound. Hummel said it best even when they were up 16 twice ... doing some little things that you will not get away with playing more athletic bigger players. UCLA, tough, Michigan looks decent, MSU is typical team, Purdue looks good so far, Illinois will be tough as long as Underwood is coaching there ... They can call me a whiner all they want ... I see the same BS year after year with great talent.The problem is they don't seem conditioned to play hard all the time. They lack situational awareness and the most basic fundamentals.

I have used their complete lack of understanding how to rebound as a prime example of a super easy teaching technique that CMW coached teams have always lacked. Hummel called it out repeatedly as if to gasp at just how glaringly awful that is. I'm telling you, if CMW doesn't do magic soon, he is cooked.
I'm genuinely hoping for better because I really want CMW to be the guy but I'm going to call a spade a spade.The best example of lack of awareness and basic fundamentals ...

Reneau is what he is, decent low post scorer, average athlete, piss poor defender and rebounder for his size. pretty much same player he was as a freshman, has better numbers because he plays more.The best example of lack of awareness and basic fundamentals ...

No, its coaching.Has money affected hard play against a weak opponent? Kind of like the NBA when they only play hard when they need to? You've got to think the guys getting paid aren't losing their spot...
