The NCAA needs to have this game be more competitive. Watch for Refs to become more “involved “

Agreed…interesting prospect. His dad played for Calipari at Memphis. He’s stated that he dreams of a UK offer. Doctors say he is still growing and could grow to 6’10”. He might be what the doctor ordered.

Hoping the staff can ramp the recruiting even more this offseason, especially the portal for wings. So tired of clogged lanes!

I’m curious if Banks could develop into a good stretch 4. He seems like he could fit, if he strengthens his handle.

Agree, though I'd add that both schools typically have multiple guys that can break you down off the dribble. 

Watching Baylor now, and most possessions there isn't even a player inside the 3pt line. They're so spread out and because they're so skilled the defense has to respect it. 

Carolina is playing similar. Only posting on a mismatch. 

We really didn’t have any prototypical wing this year. Long 6’8” athletic wing that shoots the three at least in the mid 30’s. I’d love for us to bring in at least a couple players of that mold. Geronimo could develop into that role.

And, no offense to Bama, but St. Mary's is a much more difficult team to prepare for and play against.  

Great point! If St. Mary’s plays like they did in our game, they are going to make some noise. Dakich is just a blow hard. He has zero humility or integrity. It’s too bad that he tries so hard to sell his sensationalism. 

While I would like to forget this game, I will remember everything this team and staff did to reignite my passion as a fan. Thank you!

Can we just make it somewhat competitive? No…ok then

They need to settle down. Play with intensity not frantically. 

No we are completely falling apart 

The good is that we’ve been able to get into scoring position. The bad is we are acting weak on the inside with our shots and rebounding. I don’t know how many times our players let rebounds slip out of their hands…too many. 

Parker Stewart with a floater in the lane?!? Not great offense. 

Well it has been tight so far. At least we should be at the end of the all sub line up for the first half. 

If Race calms down we will be in great shape. 

I’m curious why the B1G wouldn’t use the same ball as used in the tournament. It seems it would give teams one less thing to have to deal with. 

Huh…What a surprise. I’m sure the NCAA wasn’t expecting this viewership.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but is there a single player on our team that has played in an NCAAT game? Hoping that first half was a lot of jitters, because it sure wasn’t good basketball. 

I agree…everyone looked really tight

Finally!!! Trayce with an and1

We can’t hit an f&@$ing layup 

Not sure what we’re trying to do offensively 

Just watching the replay of the first game against Purdue this year. Man if we could get first half Rob through the tournament…watch out. 
 

I know we’ve had some good games, but I still don’t think we’ve seen the best performance this team is capable of producing. 

It looks like they shoot similar %’s to us. I watched a few of their game highlight videos. We can’t sag off their shooters. Trayce and Race should have a lot of opportunities. 

The B1G needs to win some games in this tournament. 9 teams in. We can’t have just 3 left after the first weekend. The conference has something to prove…

We can complain now…but we really make a case with a couple wins. 

Anyone else nervous?
