Does anyone think Pike substitutions and the combinations he chooses prevent us from achieving any sort of flow
No surprise. Pike can’t recruit smart or talented players.Whatever, this team is as low IQ as whatever is considered Low IQ
The fact that he sold it doesn't erase the fact that McConnell hit him above the shoulders of his elbow.
100% yes. Been a complaint since day 1 with Pike. I’m convinced the substitutions are part of the game plan and they will happen regardless of how the game is unfolding on the court.Does anyone think Pike substitutions and the combinations he chooses prevent us from achieving any sort of flow
We don't have anyone quick enough or strong enough to get to the rim.Keep on settling for jumpers. It’s maddening. Lack of taking ball to rim is either no balls and or poor coaching.
Agree 100 percent. Jones hasn’t showed much but he has more talent than most of the team. How can he be worse than this mess?somewhere/ sometime you got to give Jones an opportunity - go with Ron at the 5; and play Jones at the 4 -- can't play Reiber (at least not until next season after he hits the weight room) and certainly can't play Agee.
Lol its all of them..by the way mulchay was the only one scoring while geo and ron bricked 3s
We NEVER NEVER NEVER push the ball up on fast break or NEVER NEVER EVER do we attack the basket
Yes. Been saying this all year. We take the lead and he goes to the bench with Paul and Agee. Happens time and again. He did it with Myles and JY last year. No different this year - keep the hot hands on the floor and sub when needed. This isnt a hard concept and something I learned in 5th grade travel basketball.Does anyone think Pike substitutions and the combinations he chooses prevent us from achieving any sort of flow
It hurts we do not have a point guard on this team. It hurts that we do not have a player than can play the post on offense or defense. It hurts that we cannot run the court or push ball up court.Does anyone think Pike substitutions and the combinations he chooses prevent us from achieving any sort of flow
No doubt. Our rotations are entirely driven by the game clock. Zero feel for the game.100% yes. Been a complaint since day 1 with Pike. I’m convinced the substitutions are part of the game plan and they will happen regardless of how the game is unfolding on the court.
That’s 100% on Pike. Keep recruiting these Temple talents.We don't have anyone quick enough or strong enough to get to the rim.

BS rarely does RH attackbthe basketpsecond part not true. Harper has. unfortunately he is the only player we have that can attack the rim. he needs to do it more in second half.
Harper needs to take over - otherwise we have no chance. from what Ive seen Maryland is unable to stop Harper today. he needs to ATTACK
Most of our turnovers were not caused by especially great Maryland defense or crafty steals.... They were caused by bonehead passes, bad hands, and bad ball handling.11 first half TO against Maryland who ranks 334th in defensive TO rate
The guy who did that is playing in Oregon.We NEVER NEVER NEVER push the ball up on fast break or NEVER NEVER EVER do we attack the basket
Then I'll use the Edey and the Dickinson excuse every ref uses for them, it's not his fault he's so much taller than his opponent. Caleb's arms never came above his shoulder height, it's not his fault a 5'8" guy is guarding him.The fact that he sold it doesn't erase the fact that McConnell hit him above the shoulders of his elbow.

Its maddening - and has been maddening for years.
p.s we are disrupting our flow for Palmquist and Reiber. Oy
This. They don’t adapt on how the game is unfolding besides taking guys out for fouls. Bad or good play or bad or good units are rarely taken into consideration100% yes. Been a complaint since day 1 with Pike. I’m convinced the substitutions are part of the game plan and they will happen regardless of how the game is unfolding on the court.
Must run the offense through Ron , mostly in loa or mid post this half to have a chance. I’d be doesn’t touch the ball every possession this half fire the entire staff
Baker has been MIA for most of the season. He gets too much credit for bringing so little.When the leaders in baker and mulchahy play with their heads up their ass , it’s hard to win
Sadly accurateStarting to remind me of Dane Miller on his way out...
Sadly accurateHe’s regressed in 3 straight years anyway…totally checked out.
Sadly accurateDoes anyone think Pike substitutions and the combinations he chooses prevent us from achieving any sort of flow
Sadly accurateEveryone but Paul and Ralph has been better than Geo today
He can't beAgree 100 percent. Jones hasn’t showed much but he has more talent than most of the team. How can he be worse than this mess?
Mulcahy has been terrible. Everyone agrees. Geo is also a no show. Game after game after gameYou have a margin for error man....FIVE turns in a game is ugly.....he scored 2 baskets.....how many points were scored off the turnovers.....?? A LOT
Please start holding Mulcahy accountable.....and you will say RHJ and Baker didn't deliver?? "Go clean up the mess made with 5 TOs and don't make any mistakes or miss any shots too".....LOL
They scored EIGHTEEN points off TOs and THIRTEEN at the line, SEVEN non TO or foul related points. Maryland are a BAD team and has been doing nothing that we aren't doing to ourselves. Maryland is a badly coached team but they don't seem to be missing their Danny Manning acting classes, guess Danny Manning theatrics must be taught to the players because Danny Manning was great at that in college and the NBA for his career.We displayed a tremendous lack of brains and lack of heart in the first half.

Yeah, they're scoring off of our mistakes. I don't see them doing anything especially great defensively or offensively, we are just playing really really badly and with terrible basketball IQ. We're serving up this game on a silver platter for them by throwing the ball away and committing dumb fouls. If we could get our heads out of our asses, this game is totally winnable.They scored EIGHTEEN points off TOs and THIRTEEN at the line, SEVEN non TO or foul related points.
