Woof. Haven’t seen us play this bad in person in a loooooong time. Late on rotations, not moving the ball with purpose on offense, just a rough night all around.
Don’t worry though, I’ve seen what needs to be done and won’t be attending any more mid season tourney games. My jinx is strong as hell apparently lol.
Na watched both games. They might sneak into the tournament but we are being blown out by a 10 seed.
Just gonna be one of those times gotta learn as much as you can from a beat down, burn the tapes, and move on.
They’re playing their A game, and we’re playing a solid D+ or so lol it’s basketball. This happens to even the best teams. Everyone take a deep breath. We knew we’d take a few lumps in the non con playing so many young players heavy minutes. March matters most, that’s when we’ll be at our best. We will learn from this.
Those double teams have cost us tonight. Usually ends with a 3
Well, I guess we better beat WV/SMU.
Amen
Good old fashioned butt kicking. Won’t be the only one this year but good to have them early and learn from it.
Still high on this team as they continue to gel and gain confidence. Sometimes a loss like this helps reset.
Don’t even want to know what the numbers look like after we cut it to 5
Sort of reminds me of that blowout loss to Purdue n 2019-2020 where we lost 69-40.
They’re still not great. We just punished ourselves with double down on the post doubles and hedges where they have punished us mightly on top of a great shooting night for them and a poor shooting night for us on our open looks.
Unfortunately agree. We’ve got a lot of work to do
Also I’m not panicking on the season. Still think we can get to a good place. But this is bad bad bad tonight outside of the first 5-6 minute of the second half. There’s no sugar coating it
Blake and Jake = reverse Shake n Bake
Flat out embarrasssing
We did nothing to disrupt their sets, they ran them as though there was no defense on almost every possession.
Meanwhile, we don’t run our offense with much intent other than to pass the ball around the multi-lined perimeter.
Oh and we played like p**sies tonight
4 wide open 3s and one uncontested 2 off of the hard post double that I’ve counted. That’s a huge part of the ball game.
That’s the difference tonight.
Wisconsin has been hitting their open threes. And the ones they missed, they rebounded. We haven’t. Tone was set when our lottery pick bricked two wide open threes in the first five minutes, and we went one-and-dunn. They sagged off him the whole game after.
Hotter take: we’ve settled into being a program with a 4/5 seed ceiling and bubble team floor (meaning we’re still a solid program). Waiting for a post-Covid team that doesn’t ever get blown out and is similarly as good as those teams. Outside of Perrentes’ last year, I honestly don’t remember getting blown out during that run. Seems to happen much more often the last few seasons
Was just about to say this, very reminiscent vibe. Doesn’t help that it’s like 70% Wisconsin fans in here either, not sure what happened with the allotment but I’m a bit disappointed in our turnout.
To be seen. This could be their Baylor game.
Wasn’t referring to you but I don’t think I’ve literally ever seen you show up unless we’re losing or have just gotten bad news.
I missed it, did I say they were great?
