When I turned it on, we were down by 4.. now it’s a double digit lead


Is it me, or do we look lazy on fundamentals?

This team sucks you can guard our offense with 3 players. The ball does not move via passing worth a shite. Throw in some sloppy turnovers and atrocious D and poor rebounding this will be a 20 point plus loss. Also nothing has really improved in those areas as the season has progressed.

They just aren't that good. Can't defend, too small and can't shoot well enough to make up for it combined with tons of iso instead of moving the ball.

Haha me too! Last night in Bama game, I wasn’t watching and OU was up 17. In turn it in and Bama scored the literal first play I watched.

I’m convinced I’m a jinx on all sports

Our defense is just atrocious. We’ve started a little shaky defensively in past seasons and made improvements. This team just isn’t so far.

Does the flex offense always exclude backdoor cutting?

We are getting beat by a bunch of white boys

If Overton's offense keeps progressing that means we will have a solid 3 players.

Of course the opponent can play with 5 at one time.

Yeah, it's impossible to be a good small ball team if you can't shoot well from three, and that's basically what we have. Any team with size is abusing us down low because have zero size, and we can't punish them with the advantages of being small because we can't shoot from three.

Having a bunch of iso ball guys that don't distribute well like Tahaad and Hall just compounds the issue. Just going to be a decent but not great team that's going to get spanked against certain teams.

On the plus side maybe Pett is back next year, because I can't imagine his draft stock is going up much this year. Might as well stay and keep getting paid.

The lack of assists by our guards pisses me the frick off. I didn't like watching that shite even when the Hawks were good with Joe Johnson. And why did we go out and get 11 new guys and only have basically a 6-7 man rotation. Bruce really screwed his son.

I don’t even know what this offense is anymore. It looks like a playground/ rec league team. Lots of dribbling by the guards with no rapid ball movement to create passing lanes as defenders move to follow the ball.

The defense is so fundamentally unsound it’s laughable. Many times we have two people guarding the same guy and we are piss poor at seeing the ball and knowing where our man is away from the ball.

Its not just on the guards. Everyone else just stands there, so there's no one to pass to.

We had that issue for awhile. WGJ and now Petti does the same..

I heard they are looking for a big man from juco they could bring in to help with depth, but I kind of think they should just save it. We apparently don't have that much NIL, so we might as well save it for next year to rebuild this team.

Offense is a bit of an issue but the main problem is defense. We can’t stop anyone.
