This is an embarrassingly bad takeLove his heart and leadership, but if Baker is our starting PG next year we finish in the bottom half of the league. He needs to play less minutes and have them replaced by Mathis and Young who are both much better defenders and much quicker with the ball.
add basket interference tooYoung gets bumped...no foul. Just shoot threes
Every games like that we get absolutely no calls they can’t even call travels when we play another teamSomeone needs to send this video to the league office. No calls underneath is criminal.
Stop you are looking foolish.Pikell sucks all you have to do is foul them and you have still have a chance
Helps with Net rankingsWhy do we give up with 20 seconds left Pikell sucks
The solutions are clear as day but our coaching staff does not see themThe good thing is the solutions to turn these disappointments around are clear as day.
Pretty much called it.. at some point you have to question first half preparation. Can't keep trying to dig yourself out of massive holes on the roadLol... Another game where we are down double digits at the half... We'll probably battle back and lose by 6

Huh? Zero chance of winning.Why do we give up with 20 seconds left Pikell sucks

Really? - can't get to the rim. can't stop anyone from penetrating, can't get over screens, can't go by most Big 10 PG's, turns the ball over way too much for a point guard, he's a sub 30% shooter from three. I think he might even be a sub 40% shooter overall. Nice kid, great leader.This is an embarrassingly bad take
Im really beginning to disbelieve the myth of RU being an elite defensive team. The three point shot is always available against them with the way they leave shooters free and then vainly try to recover. Think its coincidence how often opponents light it from behind the arc? Open threes are like shooting in practice for high major D-1 players. Well except our beloved Knights. Now there's been more sucess at home because teams just dont shoot as well on the road. And they tend to turn the ball over more. In addition the post defense by Johnson or Carter is not good. Basically the RU defensive metrics look good if the oppponent isnt hitting those good looks from 3. But there's no lockdown defense. Even Northwestern gave em fits due to the fact that they were hitting a ton of shots from 3 and scoring effectively inside. It was when they started missing those same shots that the Knights were able to rally in that game. The RU defense is only as good as their opposition is making shots . Not because its being made difficult for them.

I’m confused what prompted this take.Really? - can't get to the rim. can't stop anyone from penetrating, can't get over screens, can't go by most Big 10 PG's, turns the ball over way too much for a point guard, he's a sub 30% shooter from three.

I don’t know why guys are surprised by games like this. . We don’t have one player who starts on Wisconsin. Not One...
This coaching staff is performing miracle work right now
Just watching guys go by him all afternoon, seeing the other team getting a zillion open threes that are too often the result of him getting beat off the dribble, two offensive fouls today the result of his inability to get by the defender. I just don't think he's the player everyone thinks he is, in fact, I know he isn't. Plus, as soon as Geo was put back in the starting lineup Caleb became invisible, and he was a huge part of how well we were playing. And he got back in the lineup because of ten great minutes against the worst team in the league. Personally, I think Caleb got a little screwed, but then again I think Caleb is a better player anyway.I’m confused what prompted this take.
Last 5 games averages:
Geo: 16 pts, 4 assists, and 2 TOs on 48% shooting from the field.
Young: 5.5 pts, 1 assist, 1.5 TOs on sub 33% shooting
Tez: 5 pts, .5 assist, 1 TO on 28% shooting
What makes you think we’re a better team giving Young and Mathis more minutes at the expense of Geo? I don’t get it
They may have been performing miracle work earlier in the year but not now. Other teams have figured us out on both end and either we don't have the skill to switch up further or we are being stubborn about changing what we do.

They made like 95% of their free throwsPikell sucks all you have to do is foul them and you have still have a chance
So I guess you thought GEO played well again today. That would be another example of you not knowing what you're looking at.LOL...horrible take
