10 missed FTs is unacceptable
Ok, I’m just going to watch every other game from here on out.
“I think this is one Colorado could have potentially made closer”
thank you for the hard hitting analysis

Woof. Jekyll and Hyde. We seem to get really flustered by teams that play fundamentally sound defense.
Their shots were falling, so they stopped creating good shots for each other and forced things all half.
Well, yeah, except that Tennessee and A&M are supposed to be really good defensive teams. We seem to get flustered by ****ty teams. We’ve got an okay team that thinks they are awesome? Mental issue? I really don’t know. I’m confused how weirdly different this team is game to game.
We miss Battey in the worst way. There is a huge leadership void. There needs to be a guy(guys) who remind guys in games like this to keep their composure and keep their focus.
The problem in the first half was a lack of focus on defense, the problem in the second half was a lack of composure and forcing things on offense. Somebody needs to be telling guys, there's no 11 point shot, we just need to run the offense and get buckets.
Instead, even though we tightened up the defense, we panicked on offense and settled for bad shots for 20 minutes.

He got poked in the face / eye, possibly by gabbadon
Tad unloads:
"Our players disrespected the Colorado uniform," Boyle told KOA radio. "Every former player should be disappointed and embarrassed with the way these guys represented any former player who wore this uniform. We got out-toughed, we got out-hustled, we got out-executed and we got out-coached. I'm doing an absolutely awful job with this team and I thank God we get to go home and get some practice time. I'm telling you, Tuesday's going to be a hell of a practice for us."
That about sums it up. TDS had a migraine. Hadley was missed - we need a high-energy banger.

Your willingness to make bombastic statements is admirable. A lot of people won't do that.
I don't recall Boyle ever going this far on "blame the players".
I have no immediate opinion on this psychological strategy, beyond hoping it works. My perception is that it's not generally an effective move in college sports, but I hope I'm wrong.
He's not exactly pulling punches on himself and staff, hokie. I don't read that as "blame the players" but as "we, as a group, embarrassed every man who wore this jersey" and the only response to this is intense work to find out who is going to respond.
yeah, someone posted recently that Boyle made public comments about not being happy w/ the non-conf schedule. I'd be interested if a reporter did an in-depth piece on what happened with it this year.
I know about nine years ago, someone on a VT board found a link to what was then a private message board for college hoops coaching and AD staffs. it was kind of like a dating service for college teams. e.g.:
- "University of Colorado looking to book a home-and-home with a Big 6 school"
- "CU looking for a home game against a mid-major. will cover travel travel expenses"
- etc...

The announcers went on and on about how good the Buffs are when LL touches the ball, and how much Tad himself says that over and over.
Is this true? Does Tad see our success on the skinny shoulders of Lovering? He got worked by every single guy he played against and while his passing has some pleasant moments, he barely rebounds or intimidates anyone.
This team is growing up together in a tough environment. Not having Hadley was huge, losing TDS in the second half put everything on KJ, and nobody else is dynamic enough to unlock a well-coached opponent no matter what conference they come from.
I love our role guys, and they are some of the best we have had in a long time, buttttttttttt
Allen should have taken minutes by now
Williams will take over Nique's role and provide another scorer
Assane would take over LL minutes or flex all over the place and provide another scorer
We need to get a big body rim protector with semi-decent passing to go with KJ, TDS, QA, CW, and AD next year and it is not LL or any of the other guys.
Honestly, I would love to have Tad ask Luke O'Brien to just play the 5 spot and just be who he is and bang as best he can for now until Allen or Hurlburt can join up with Lovering to be bigger and stronger. I just think that LL is a net negative right now and not the pivot guy that the announcers or even Tad see that he is.
Nique, O'Brien, Gabbidon, Wright, and even Ruffin are currently Role guys and cannot get their own shots if needed, but they all have their good moments

You definitely know better than Tad what Lawson brings to the table. Especially with the O'Brien at the 5 suggestion. Brilliant analysis.
Edit: Sorry, this post was needlessly snarky. But it does get frustrating that people watch this bi-polar team, and think the problem is that Lawson Lovering isn't Shaq.
