Muss said they did two a days all week. Maybe they should try not practicing.

Miss doesn't go live in practice (scrimmage) His practices are like a mix of conditioning and a study session based on the scouting report.

Yeah Curtis Wilkerson has been talking about that. It would explain why Muss’s teams take 25 games to start looking like they’ve ever played together.

Except they’re getting worse.

Brazile is useless. Might be the biggest disappointment on the whole team and that’s saying something.

Yes and why it takes so long to figure out the best rotation of players.

This is an area where muss needs to adjust to the college game, it isn't an 82 game season you don't play 4-5 times a week, you really benefit from live. Scrimmages.

On the defensive side I get it but I think offense requires lots and lots of live reps. We put way too much pressure on guys to independently make plays. We bring in some good players but not the guys you need to pull that off.

It also hurts when you regularly have your best scorer in the bench. If there were ever a Muss player that needed 35 minutes/game it’s Battle.

Battle needs to play 35+ minutes

Brazile needs to be used situationally. He has the best pro prospects but he just doesn’t seem to have a natural role with this team

I have little interest in watching this team play anymore. Shitty basketball.

He needs to be benched every time he jacks up a stupid shot, even after a make

Notae didn’t have the offensive talent around him the Battle does

Unless we suddenly learn ball movement, we aren’t even a tourney team.

Notaes stats might not have added up but he was a winner and hit shots when it mattered.

I watched him live, elite 8 against Baylor, one of the best, most underrated natty teams going toe to toe for a few minutes on the biggest stage to keep us in that game his first year.

Don’t see any of that this year.

We’ve got a bunch of dudes that dribble too much, don’t finish well and can’t move to create high percentage shots.

People forget how many beautiful, clutch, wide open corner looks Umede would hit down the stretch when we really got hot.

Haven’t seen that for 2 years.

I would like to think that Muss is looking at all the players he can in these games and a spread minutes in order to determine his best options. Not many of these guys can say they didn’t get a chance. That’s pretty much what these games are for.

He’ll probably have a starting lineup figured out come conference play so that we can lose to a bad lsu team or something like that…haha.

I still think Graham should get more minutes because he’s a scoring threat plus he looks like he’s really trying to improve his rebounding and defense. Him and Lawson down low look good with Battle, Mark and Devo alternating with Booker.


This team has talent, he just needs to figure out the lineup.

Muss must despise Battle’s defense because he’s exactly the kind of player Muss loves on offense and he doesn’t play 40 minutes/game.

I’d be curious to see our assist to turnover ratio from each game. It was roughly 1:2 tonight. 9 assists on 83 points.

Wife just had baby #2 so I haven’t been able to watch every minute. When I do, it’s not real pretty on either end of the floor.
