Jan’s just isn’t the coach I thought he was, he’s very average.
He's not recruiting well enough in the portal. Our portal guys aren't good. And other than Hubb, who has he really signed out there out of HS? We've got to recruit better. Same as all our other sports. It's common theme at State.

Here comes the run. I feel it. It's coming. I feel it in my nuts.

I probably need to get that Prostate exam...

No rebounds = no early offense, and our half court isn't awe inspiring, except for the Murphy pick and roll which we forget to run most possessions.

When this game is over, our employees that aren’t producing what they are getting paid to produce need to be fired and the new employees must have evidence from their previous employer that they can produce whatever it is they are hired to do.
There is no more “recruiting “ no more “commitment “. Do what you are paid to do or find another employer.
very simple.
(works in all “college” sports btw)

Several months ago, I said this team would go as far as Hubbard could take us. I said he needed to find his shot for us to go anywhere this season. I was wrong. It was Cam. It was always Cam. This team went as far as Cam could take us. It just happened to be that he could only take us to January. I don't know what happened to him in January, but he's useless now. He shouldn't even be on the court at this point. All he does is catch a pass, take two steps and pass it off. That's it. I could do that.
We will be better once Cam leaves. He doesn’t do anything well enough to counteract the fact that he can’t shoot at all, and scores like 3-4 points per game. And is a 47% free throw shooter.

We like to dribble and pass the ball around the perimeter until there are 5 seconds left on the shot clock, then put up a wild shot and hope for the best. That seems to be the offensive philosophy.
We can’t hold onto the ball that long

I want to stop watching and go about my day. But, since I'm a State fan, I'll watch to the end. We can make a run but I also might just be watching yet another loss something I see far too often.

If you've watched this team the last couple of months, are you really surprised by this performance? At a certain point you are who you record says you are. Same applies to baseball.

Nailed it. Jan's X and Os are good. It's the Jimmy and Joes that he lacks.

We finally get a stop - well, not really, they just missed - and we go down and take the worst shot possible. SMDH.
