They invested in basketball NIL. One 5* and two 4* recruits plus signing 5 quality transfers. 🤷
The way Tad handled this offseason and the way this season is likely to end makes me start to think he might be done after this year. A bit of "I'm going out with my type of team on my terms."

I also just heard some more indications that we had more NIL money this year than Tad has let on.
 
Point #1: Not awful, but not good.
Point #2: Definitely.

FTR, Carrington never sees the court at program other than a low mid-major. I just don't get it.
Disagree / this team is awful. Tad needs to start with making a serious NIL Contribution himself and ask donors to match it. Otherwise, he will need to get happy losing in the BIG 12.

This also what I have been consistently told that Tad will not use all the NIL funds available to him. He philosophically disagrees with paying transfers all their funds on a yearly basis, and wants to backend load $$$.

Say they've only hit 4 more threes than us. We're still getting bodied.
That's not the difference, though. We're getting more OReb and I believe we've got more points in the paint. It's almost completely a 3pt shooting loss. Our perimeter D sucked and we didn't make sh!t - our guards got completely dominated.
 
Buffs are 15/34 from 2
ASU is 15/35 from 2

We're +6 on offensive rebounds, which overcomes our -4 on turnovers.

But ASU has hit 8 more 3s. That's the 24 points.

Cold shooting and inconsistent defense will almost always = a road loss. They're getting open looks at least.

Baskin needs to start every damn game from here on out. Dude is a baller.
 
Buffs 3/24 from 3
ASU 13/28

Hammond, Ruffin and RJ combined for 7 points on 2/15 shooting. 12 assists with 4 turnovers was damn good, though. But you just can't get out-shot like that and have a chance to win.

Now do their guards. 😡

Stinkers happen. Hopefully they use it for motivation @ UCF. Should be mentioned this was their first true road game of the season.

26 points, which included 5/12 from 3. 12/6 with A/T. That's pretty much the score differential, but maybe the biggest thing was that their dribble penetration (which our guards didn't achieve) caused defensive help rotations which allowed their forwards to get a ton of easy looks. Jihad & Freeman had it easy today because of this and had their best offensive games of the season. This is what concerns me the most. RJ, Hammond & Ruffin can shoot, but can they penetrate off the bounce or prevent it?

Baskin was the only real positive. Will be great if he can build on.
