Games thread- MEN'S bball on the road @ UCLA (Thursday, 2/15/24, 7:00 PM MT; ESPN) & USC (Saturday, 8:00 PM MT; ESPN)

They're just abusing Eddie down low on defense.

As usual. And his help defense is the worst I've seen in a long time.

 

[torero]

Interesting that Tad has just let this happen this year. Not trying to be argumentative, just weird that it seems TadBall has gone away completely.

Buck ultimately stops with Tad, but it’s the personnel. This team can’t guard their own shadows.

 

[Da Lama]

Tristan drives, goes up soft and has it blocked off of him.
The get a fast break and go full Globetrotter on us because only KJ and Williams decide to hustle back.

Not only are we NIT bound, we'll get tossed the first game.

Would've been a lot cooler if the staff noticed this early on and did something about it...

 

[Buffnik]

I miss Tadball.

 

[alec10burks]

They're getting away with murder on defense but that's no excuse for all these turnovers

 

[Da Lama]

If Collier wasn't hurt for an extended period of time, this USC team would've been Top 5 in the conference. He takes them to another level.

Bronny flat missed it, no touch
STFU Announcers and cheater Enfeld
Bronny is bad

 

[alec10burks]

We turned the ball over 4 times in the last 3 minutes of the half, ****ing infuriating.

Just coming to say this. Rewound it 3x. Wasn't touched. Flopper like his weak a$$ father.

 

[torero]

Bronny is not an NBA player. Very happy for him that he overcame the heart issues, if his name was Joe Smith he’d be playing at a mediocre WCC school.

Lakers have the 57th pick in the second round and will take him

 

[4BienemyTDs]

This team does not look happy or excited to play with each other. No real raw joy comes out on their faces.
That is too bad.

 

[H.E. Pennypacker]

if his name was Joe Smith he’d be playing at a mediocre WCC school.

Or Maryland.

 

[Buffnik]

What happened to how connected on offense they were early in the season? Seems like we get very few assisted buckets any more.

 

[Da Lama]

Those last two offensive efforts were...something.

We set no hard screens
Teams have film on our back cuts
We are not a killer 3-point shooting team
We do not look like we care about each other

 

[Da Lama]

Still trying to run the offense through Lampkin. WTAF?

 

[alec10burks]

3 turnovers in our first 3 possessions of the half, ****ing EMBARRASSING.

 

[alec10burks]

4 turnovers in the last 3 minutes of the 1st half and 4 turnovers in the first 3 minutes of the 2nd half, surely a winning formula.

 

[4BienemyTDs]

Collier is the real deal

 

[Da Lama]

Collier is the real deal

Yep. Just bodying Cody. Wow. He's NBA ready now.

 

[PAHIBuff]

For the last time, the is no chance that Joe is on this team next year.

Zip
Zero
Nada
Not going to happen

I was told here more than once that Joe showed out in club ball during high school and that was all that was important.

 

[4BienemyTDs]

Yep. Just bodying Cody. Wow. He's NBA ready now.

He is a right handed Jalen Brunson

 

[4BienemyTDs]

Announcers talking about potential fouls is bush league

 

[GoonieBuff]

The way this football season started well, then went downhill, and having the basketball season go similarly, is really deflating as a fan.

Like the kind of deflating that makes me question why I do this to myself and also spend money to let myself get my hopes up only to get disappointed.

The talent from 3 of these players should be able to get you through many issues. Such a soft team. I’m a Tad fan, but I can’t ignore the mounting evidence that this team is poorly coached.

I’d love for the bleeding of this season to stop and be able to feel like I did about this team after the first handful of games.

 

[Da Lama]

Tad just looks like he doesn't give a sh!t. Fvck Enfield with a rusty spike, but his team is 10-15 and he's showing emotion like his team has a shot at the regular season title. Very telling.

 

[Da Lama]

He is a right handed Jalen Brunson

This game has to show Cody that he is not NBA ready yet. Needs to add 15 pounds of muscle in the offseason.

The team is not responding, extremely disconnected.
Maybe he does retire?
He likely wants to coach against the Big12 again, but Kansas and Arizona will beat us by 50 everytime

And that Hammond was an all around phenomenal athlete.
