But when he drives in, it's into three defenders about half the time.

I don’t think it’s as often as it feels. And he’s not the only one. When he makes them or gets fouled, we’re happy with it. When it doesn’t drop we hate it. Going 0–13 as a team exacerbated the situation as well.

This Trae game is reminding me of the Wisconsin game his brother stepped up and you said “yep he’s gone after this year”. Me and a couple friends just said that about Trae

We need to grab this lead in the next few minutes. Texas tech has the ability to knock down tough shots if late in a close game. They don’t appear scared of the moment.

I guess RJ is going to be this year's Tatum when things don't go the way we want. He's had a lot of great looks, the ball just ain't going in. It's the turnovers that bother me.

Nothing is dropping from anyone but Tre, I've never seen anything like this. They gotta start going in right?

I would say that I'm impreseed with TT's D and it is good but we are missing some good and open shots. TT has also hit a couple of piss shots too. We are not getting lose balls either even though I think we are hustling. This game may come down to free throw shooting. If we could just go up I think we will hold it. We get close and TT just comes back with a basket. Please win Duke, please win. OFC

Just because he makes it doesn't make it a good shot. I just feel like it encourages a problem of his. Right after you replied to me last time he got called for a charge where he had three defenders on him.

I'm really not trying to crap on him. If I thought he sucked, it wouldn't but such a point of contention for me. But he's clearly got the talent which makes it more frustrating to see him make such bone headed plays routinely. Maybe I'm just too hard on him.

Their leading scorer is scoring when he wants. Ours ummm not so much.

I wouldn’t say you’re too hard on him. It’s just those are shots a guy as talented as him has to make sometimes. The scouting report will always be about him. And he still does a good job of finding teammates, but when no one on the team can hit, who better to take than your best player?
