Where's the Mike Anderson Haters?

Here


I typically don’t watch the first several games. Y’all been hyping this team like a fricking final 4 team, so I tuned in today. We get out classed by a conference USA team at home. We played some very uninspired basketball and still could have won if we just make the easiest play in all of sports.... THE GD frickING FREE THROW!!!!!!!

I’ll see y’all in March. Have leaves to rake. frick Mike.

no comment

Oh... they’re full of surprises.

Well they did just lose to Missouri State Wednesday, who had lost 5 in a row.

Yeah this is not a good loss at all. We had to play EXTRA shitty to them to lose by 1 point. It should be impossible for us to play that bad.

He definitely beat Gafford today.

Bassey bitch slapped Gafford

For all the BS spewed about Gafford, he isn't a lottery pick.
Dude hasn't got "IT"

Mike's teams will shoot the 3 rather than feed Gafford

It looks like that will be dictated by whether we ever settle into a game or not. We've definitely had games where the clear objective was to feed Gafford or to work the ball inside in general, but we flat out panicked in the second half of this game. The offense morphed right back into what we complained about so much last season. The guards just standing around the perimeter passing it to each other until one of them jacks up a 3.

With the exception of Desi Sills, I didn't see anyone on the court make an effort to take the game inside repeatedly at all. Mike called a ton of timeouts to halt momentum, but there was zero visible difference in how the team played from stoppage to stoppage.

I almost wish we hadn't had that hot game from outside. The team's approach to offense was much better before then.

I drank the kool-aid and it was tasty I admit. A shame it spoiled when I went to have another sip. I'm not prepared to heap dirt on the squad though. It might have been just one of those games where things fall apart.

That, however, is a problem Mike Anderson teams seem to have. When things go off the rails during a game he can't seem to get the team refocused on what was working.
