It really is amazing to me that we'll **** our pants all over the court/field and then people come on here and are appalled other people are mad
I'm not appalled that you are mad or that he's mad.
He quoted a post of mine where I didn't even reply to him.
Maybe understand that?

I’m so thankful this site has a select chosen few self-designated arbiters of gameday thread decorum. Thanks for your service!
Hey man, I got no problem with people coming here and being mad. I get that this is a way to vent frustration. But damn, do it with some decorum.

There were numerous offensive sets that were just unjointed and not organized. Then you had WVU running offensive sets at ease with our defense.
I think the other thing we have to realize is that Huggins is probably the 2nd or 3rd best coach in this league. There offensive sets are elite and have been for years. Dude is a Hall of Fame coach. But he wasn’t the same guy at Cincy but rather he evolved into a high level offensive mind. People get better (typically) over time at their craft. TJ will too.

We are behind talent wise the last two season versus most league teams. Therefore, we lost more of a step than they have, and it shows on the court. Simple as that. Lipsey IS a freshman. Guarding Big 12 guards & playing in the most physical league takes its toll. We had a couple more miss games this season than last due to injury. Our mid-majors are seeing the difference playing in this league versus their prior experiences. It's taken its toll.

Otz & the team exceeded expectations half way through the season & this increased everyone's expectations the rest of the way. It just sucks considering how well they played that it couldn't be sustained. Limping in to the end of the season, I just hope they get collected & catch fire some & have a last push for a win or more during the dance.

Never saw a flagrant two called and the other team that committed the foul get the best of it with a 7 point swing. Jaz misses his two FT, WV comes down and hits theirs, gets the ball back, and then hits a three pointer. We would have been better off if it was not called.

When Jaz missed those two free throws, that set up WVU no doubt for the comeback. Killed our momentum even though the lead exchanged hands since then. But had he made those free throws I think it would’ve been a lot more interesting..

I'd be down for that. Also I'd prefer not crapping ourselves to end the season or blowing leads left right and center. That's what I'd define as getting **** together
So we still need to be pissed if we make the tournament next year. Got it. In all seriousness there were some major positives coming from that 2H. The team showed a lot of fight. They moved the ball on offense and both Gabe and Holmes hit a number of shots. I think that rolling without Lipsey for a few more minutes might have been beneficial but I understand he is the best ball handler.

No, it's something people like Jereseib have posted before. He has admitted to it and I commended him for doing that.

Knowing what works and what doesn't for our own mental health isn't something I would joke about or give you **** about.

You got a problem with “decorum” that crosses site rule lines, report it. Otherwise stfu. You tell us to take the night off. Why don’t people who have a problem with game threads redirect their smug energies from officiating game threads to something that isn’t so clearly far below them.

Caleb has one more year ? Which of the talented newcomers sits because of him?

We had opportunity to get fouled on drives to the hoop. But, 3's get you to the NBA.

No one is saying you need to be pissed or even upset, but it would be completely reasonable for people to be upset if there's still major struggles offensively in year 3.

It's amazing but it's not out of the realm of possibility that we still get the 5 seed in KC.
