Team wide adjustments have been an issue for several years.
If this were at Houston, I agree. Against the #15/16 team in the conference is a collosal difference..
If it was just this year we have a meltdown I would not be concerned. Slow starts to every single game, mid season meltdowns. Patterns are developing and I don’t like it
In before someone tries to hand wave this as just a rough two game road trip and tells you how hard it is on the road in the B12. All while ignoring the fact that the slow starts and lack of energy against P4 teams goes back more than a month.
I’m sure we’ll be told we are overreacting all week but just watch the games. This isn’t a top 5 team in the league right now.
TJ and this staff just got outcoached by Wes Miller. That’s embarrassing.
We’ve tried the same offensive approach for 5 straight games with god awful first half results yet we keep trying apparently. Why?

Consistently shooting ourselves in the foot with slow starts (not to mention other issues). To be behind at the 10 minute mark of our last 8 power conference games is completely unacceptable.
Yeah I retract that comment…you’re right
We don't have an elite head coach. He's hired great assistants that have carried him, but when they can't figure it out they have nowhere to turn. Its been obvious for a while now. Green and the defense is why he have had the success we've had. I like TJ and think he's a good coach but he's not elite.
This is the 4th year out of 5 that the team has collapsed in conference season. Still time to turn around this year, but that is what it is.
Yeah, that certainly looks like a well established trend at this point. Concerning that this seems to keep playing out the same way. Not learning from history it seems.
No. But theres probably a ceiling on what he can do consistently. And I like TJ, what I said isn't meant to be a knock on him. This team could get hot and get to the F4. He's not an elite coach though.
At this point I’m convinced TJs style of basketball is simply unsustainable for an entire season.
Every single year we look incredible until January/February and we are mediocre from then on out. The boys look tired. I think the way we play just wears them out and there’s no way to keep it going.

If Buchanan, Heise, Toure, and Batemon are invisible offensively, Jefferson loses all effect (he can’t kick out to anyone that’s a threat). Jefferson forces too much as a result and starts turning the ball over and forcing attempts that aren’t falling for himself. So the no other threats, Milan can’t beat a team by himself.
The theme is the same each season for TJ, no real depth offensively when conference play starts.
Unfortunately, this team look poised to repeat the same old song and dance in March. Just envision a first half against Illinois in the Sweet 16 repeat…but who knows what round that happens in.
I’m glad they’ve shown us who they are again early in the season…it’ll save me a lot of grief later.

Get real, they’re college athletes it’s more so we have zero killer instinct and never have under TJ. He is a great coach but he rarely makes adjustments and is stubbotn
