benjay... what are you smoking tonight??? :smile:

I stopped watching the game out of frustration. But what I took away from the 1st half was that we really have some talent. A really glaring issue from my seat was Brackins. He really doesn't put forth much effort on defense or on the boards.

We all knew we weren't going to be that good this year with such a young team.
~~~~~~~~~
WE aren't going to be any good because we have no talent and a mediocre coach. KU is younger than us. There's a reason Coach Lick was NCOTY and it shows tonight

I'm sorry, please tell me how many 5-star recruits we've pulled down in the last five years. Everyone was kissing Brackins' butt a week ago, now you're saying he's never shown any talent. Grow up.

Some did. Not I. I said we needed to see more of it. Right now, we're not.

He's not an NBA caliber player right now - period. Inconsistent as hell and when he gets frustrated, his game goes to complete ****. This is fact.

This is absolutely ridiculous. We are slow, unathletic and soft.

I don't understand where GMAC is going to do to turn it around.

Any mystery why our home attendance sucks? Exhibit One - Three consecutive losses to Drake. Exhibit Two - 23 Pt @ss whipping at the hands of Iowa.

Looking forward to road games in the Big Twelve.

Can't defend, can't rebound, and the offensive sets consist of desperation threes. Loving this system.

Please see the edit to my previous post - I said he was inconsistent. He's also been on the court for one year and about 10 games. I'm not making excuses - he needs to step up. I would hardly call him an NBA caliber player at this point, either. Saying he's talentless is classless and just foolish.

In all fairness, it was the first two points you made that led to the third. Hopefully the players and coaches took notes on Iowa tonight: That is how you play defense in college ball.

Doesn't help that Craig Brackins has been a bust relative to his recruiting rankings. But then again, maybe the coaching staff hasn't coached/developed him as they should.
