There is no way that this team and staff is not distracted.

This NCAA investigation needs to just be done, regardless of the outcome, so this program can move forward with or without Frank Haith.

Im not saying its the only reason this team is playing poorly but there is little doubt in my mind that this distraction is a part of the problem.

Just not that good.

Players or Haith.

Turning the corner.

I dont think this has anything to do with the violations. We are just that bad without Dixon and Bowers.

We're playing poorly because we're overrated and not that good.

Correct. A distraction might lead to dropping a game we shouldnt. We were just simply outmatched.

I didn't get to watch all of the game. But it's ridiculous that we got blown out that way. Did they even try?

Yes, I think they're distracted and unfocused. Yes, I also think they're overrated. But they better get some things figured out and quick.

I'm not sure it's a distraction thing. I mean I could be way off, but they just seem to get frustrated easily. They look to me they play tight, not loose. I see an abscence of the passing game that worked so well last year. They are easily confused on defense also.

I hate mentioning this. But way back before the season started, word was out there about Alex not being all that great. He was known for his rebounding but not so much for his offensive board skills. I think alittle of that is showing. I like the guy, I think he's made strides with his ball handling but I think he's just not as talented as everyone thinks he is or wishes he was including me.

I mentioned this in another thread, but I think slow is bad for Pressey. He seems to get in most of his trouble when it comes to slowing the game down. To me he seems at his best pressing the ball into the lane.

It's about going out and playing ball. Attack, attack, attack. They don't seem to do this until they are down 10 to 20 points. They fall off defenders in the first half and play them loose. There is no pressure there. It allows them to set thier offense.

I'm done. Thats just what I see. If Haith gets canned, he gets canned. The players will still be here that can be here and it aint nothing they haven't been through before, A new coach.

This is exactly right. Our transfers had been talked up to the degree we thought we would be seeing elite play out of them. They are transfers for a reason...role players and not front line players is what they are and are getting exposed.
