Agree. I know it can't be worse, but I don't think it would be appreciably better with Hoiberg. I know we view him as an offensive coach, but he always had a mismatch guy and some things to build on. Even in Year 1 he had a guy that could easily create and a 5 that pulled out bigs.
Maybe we can be a grind-out halfcourt team, but our lack of size and grit says otherwise. I think our best chance with a team full of undersized, moderately talented players is to go hectic, up and down,!almost Huggyball. We have a lot of guards and can afford fouls (don't have anyone irreplaceable imo).
And Bowie trying 19 footers....just a mess. Is it coaching? Is it the lack of a system? Are they not willing to play the system?
Yeah, it's actually worse than what I feared.
Might be seriously looking at a losing record overall when it's all said and done.
no hustle, no defense, no rebounding, standing around on offense...i'm close to getting off the prohm support team. this is horrible to watch.
Fred and Matt A would have landed a big time grad transfer post and probably Chris Boucher (last year) and we would be a totally team.
The Iowa game unfortunately was not an outlier... that is who we are.
Our guys solution to getting better.... growing beards. Yes, that is how our team thinks folks.
Next week maybe they will all wear red headbands or something? More effort might be a better idea.

Agreed, although I do agree with what he said about Hoibergs offense too. It was never any super creative sets for the most part, it was about having guys who could drive, draw multiple defenders and kick it out. We were never some amazing passing team, we just kept the ball moving which is easy to do once you have the defense scrambling. Hoiberg's own players in Chicago have called him out for running too many iso's.
You mean lucky to make the NIT, right??
Good pressure ... if defense is going to be the focus, slap that **** on earlier in the game, and more often, especially if offense is stagnating.
You mean the NIT? Because the NCAA is a pipe dream right now the way this team has played since the Iowa debacle.
That's ok...the guys still know they're better than Iowa.
