Is TJ out of gas?

Hope we get another crack at OSU in the tourney.

What a stupid ******* thread. It's his second year in a totally loaded conference and he's spent most of the year so far near first place, and we happened to hit a slump.

This thread is embarrassing.

 

[madguy30]

Yep.

I just looked up the box score; he, Gabe, and Jaren shot a combined 5-25 from the field tonight. Ironically all of those makes were 3-pointers, which is normally good, but they couldn't make anything from inside the arc.

Jaren is the only one who can really find his way to the basket but OSU had the perfect switch to not give him a good look and then Gabe and Grill aren't exactly Tinsley at getting to the hoop.

He is a victim of his own success. This isn't even that good of a roster and they're in the top 15. I wouldn't sweat it. I would call this more of a rebuilding year honestly.

Not in the Top 15 anymore

Probably about this basktball team, at least until March Madness. I'll post in other threads and in the General College BB thread but this team is just too frustrating to waste anymore time on this regular season.

I've been watching basketball for 35 years and never seen anything remotely close to this before.

We are absolutely running Texas, Kansas, and Baylor out of the gym. If you watch alot of other games it's clear all 3 of those teams have Elite 8 potential at the very least and they weren competitive at all with us in Ames, then we turn around and can't beat the bottom of the league. It makes absolutely no sense at all.

I thought we just got beat by a good West Virginia team the other night. I watched them against Texas today and they are terrible.

Remember when Johnny Orr used to do this kind of season often and then Floyd lost at Hilton and Fred lost against middling teams? And when KU got housed at home by TCU?

Honestly a break might be the best thing if it's not healthy to watch.

I don't want anything to do with them or anyone like them.

Yeah, I remember all that, I dont remember any of them having stretches where they woul lose 6 out of 8 though like this.

I think we did the same thing last year where we lost 6 out of 8 halfway through the year.

This seems to be a Prohm and TJ phenomenon where they hit a rough patch then can't stop the free fall.

Couldn’t disagree more. Don’t want any part of them again.

Boynton seems to get a lot of unearned crap from people on here, but IMO he's a damn good coach. IIRC his first team swept Kansas, which needless to say is pretty damn impressive for a first year head coach.

He seems to have had our number recently, regardless of who our coach is.

Maybe dial back the practices a bit. Not the intensity...maybe the duration. Who knows.

Pretty sure we already do that

 

[BCClone]

Any chance they are mentally exhausted from practice? The announcers were talking about how hard they were working earlier today

They practiced hard today??

 

[cyclo120]

If he wasn’t recruiting as well as he is I would be concerned about ever being good enough offensively to compete at a high level, but still overachieving with team, doesn’t make this loss any worse and mean he can’t be criticized though.

What?!

Thats what Settles said

He’s done better than I expected at OSU, but after tonight, he can get intercoursed by a rusty chainsaw. There’s a difference between playing physically and playing violently, and tonight was some high level BS.

Also, if your team shoots 9-19 from the line, including missing the front end of FOUR 1-and-1s… sometimes it’s just not your night.

Then this loss is on TJ if true.

 

[cyclo120]

What?!

I don’t want to be the team that is always overachieving with defense and effort and struggles offensively, but he is recruiting out of his mind so I’m not concerned.

 

[CapnCy]

I don't think TJ is sweating enough. Any other ridiculous CF cliches we can pull out of the chest?

He wore a black polo last game and white today.....hid the pitting out we see when he wears the reds and greys.....check his shirt color before posting this crap!

Lol, kidding

 

[JP4CY]

Do any of you not think the OP was just trying to lighten things up?

And if anyone is done, be ******* done and get out. Last year mid Jan to mid Feb we lost 6 of 8, and it looks like we could easily do it again.

We were lethargic as **** tonight but this team under TJ has for the most part punched above their weight. Give them a chance to get it right.

This game is what I would call the Morgantown hangover. Late, late night and flight back to town after 40 minutes of body banging. We looked the part of an exhausted crew. Give them Sunday and Monday off and flush this

Obviously WVU felt it too, they got their @sses kicked today. Our game with them was a war and it took a lot out of both teams. We killed KU because we were fresh, if you guys recall, we played on Monday so we got 4 1/4 days rest when we took the court against them
