What offense works when you have no shooters and no inside scoring presence? Just pack it in.

And offensive execution? We've had one of the best offenses in the country the last 6 years.
Yes, thanks to guys like Niang, Monte, Naz, Thomas. Our offense involves too much one on one -- not what this team is made of.

Show me one set play we've run this year that resulted in a lay-up or easy bucket. Heck, we are struggling to even get the ball inbounded this year. Remember Fred's inbound plays? We used to get layups every other time!

"This year"? You mean, both games?

Imagine that. Coaches look better with good players. When you refuse to recruit the high school ranks that eventually catches up. We're at the point of eventually.

Hey guys, for all we know Mizzourah and Milwaukee may play for the national title. No disrespect losing to that. I mean, they're still undefeated.

So can we talk about bringing Hoiberg back yet? Or is it to early?
Hoiberg was the architect of this. Prohm was set up for two great years (they were) and then a major dropoff barring a miracle. You can't graduate Niang, McKay, Nader, Burton, Thomas, Morris, and Long (all of which are being paid to play hoops now) and not have a drop-off with the number of scholarships you're allowed.

Exactly my point. We've been in dire need of ONE BUCKET at some time in both of these games. Most coaches run a set play for an easy bucket to break the ice, stop momentum, stop the bleeding, etc.
No shooters = pack it in and don't worry about guys running free around the perimeter because they can't hurt you.

lol there it is! "Sorry Prohm, no need to coach and run plays. If they pack it in, you can't run a play."
