We are basically one of those teams that play 20 straight road games against P5 schools. Steve Prohm and staff are fleecing this University. LOL!!!
I like how the announcer just said the coach doesn’t have an 18 point play.
We can't even switch things up by going zone. They'd kill us from three. Only way I see this game turning is if we get hot from deep and go uptempo and force turnovers. Easy, right?
I'm with ya but we're seeing a rerun from far too many games last year with the "good" players. But I think we have a much better bunch and will once again take the long-view and hope to see them grow, develop and win.
Shame on you if you expected anything different from a Steve Prohm coached team.
That’s real bad basketball.
If it weren’t for the Shayok year I’d wonder if the staff coaches at all. Besides that year and benefiting from the fruits of inheriting a roster that was exposed to, like, actual coaching, there’s little for this staff to hang its hat on. Conditt has somehow regressed, we don’t defend, and we continue to live or die on guys jacking threes that aren’t very good at em, with no backup option because nobody is particularly effective at creating on their own. Horrendous, correctable mistakes over and over, no sign of in-game coaching, no sense of urgency in-game.
Even with a generous outlook of understanding that it takes time for guys to gel on the offensive end, the defense just isn’t being coached correctly. And it’s blatantly apparent. Our staff is in over its head in most areas beyond point guard development.

There's not much you can do when your opponent is just better than you in all facets of the game. Better players and better coaching. That's tough to beat.
This is exactly where I'm at, too.

He lost me with the Shayok team. That team could’ve been soooo good and he mismanaged them into oblivion.
Well, they said Prohm wanted to shoot 40% from three to be competitive. So after the first half, that means we'd need to go about 80% in the second half to hit that.
