Our guards are getting your ire, but our bigs have been horrible at hedging, which has been the biggest issue this game IMO.

lol…I flushed it before the game was even over.

Our guys are still fighting. I really like this team but we don’t have the rebounding or rim protection that can overcome mistakes on both ends.

Just need to get a top 6 seed in tourney and hope to get hot in March.

Just a really bad basketball game against a team that will probably be a bubble team at best.

Great shite Rylan

Man he is worse than last year. Maybe it’s because he had a bit role and embraced it and is trying to step up, but he’s not that guy.

Sears had a bad game and Griffin has been dissappointing but the guards aren't the problem. The problem is that we had one of the top big men in the country inexplicably leave early and weren't prepared for it. Going to haunt us all year.

This is feeling like a 6 seed if they figure out something and 11 seed type if they don't season.

The bad news is that 5 of our next 6 opponents are equally capable of running us out of the gym like this.

We basically only got like 2/3 stops this half.

That wasn’t a foul come on.

Got in the bonus with 11 min to go and then just shot 3s the rest of the way. That’s inexcusable. Soft.

If the defense doesn’t improve we’re going to lose a lot of games this year.

Long season ahead but this was incredibly disappointing. Eye opening game. We’re not nearly as good as we all thought. Our staff got out coached badly.

Estrada looks like he’s going to be one of those guys that looks great then looks awful. Sloppy turnovers will plague him.

Turn the page and move on to the next one I guess.

We don't lose today because we don't have a rim protector. Opposing teams are shooting 55.6% from 3-point range.
The biggest problem today is the poor Guard position defense. We continue to allow easy drive in to our opponents. That ultimately led to a higher 3-point shooting percentage.
Compare the defense of Sears and Estrada with the defense of the opposing G players in today's game.

I don’t remember us getting a stop this half that didn’t involve an illegal screen by them.
