To be down by 1 as bad as we played that 1st half is amazing.Keep Audige on McGee and we have a good chance to win.
Ty Berry playing well.Someone wake up Buie.Terrible first 20 minutes.

Collins refused to coach up Buie when he was young and here we are 4 years later with him still doing the same stupid ****.

“Collins refused to coach up Buie when he was young and here we are 4 years later with him still doing the same stupid ****.”

What does “coach up” mean? Do you really think he allows this crap to happen and says / does nothing? Should he permanently bench the one who many think is our best player? Buie is as streaky as streaky can be; always has been and always will be.

One thing is for sure: after spending 90 minutes watching CBS Sports Network, no one should ever complain about BTN again.

Although I'm not a fan of berry's clack of shooting he does do the little things and makes winning plays moving the ball and rebounding from the guard spot.

Boo, not sure what the hell he is doing.

I’ve watched a lot of great coaches who would never allow a young player to make all the sloppy immature plays Boo would make when he was young. He’d come out immediately, get yelled at and maybe get back in later. But Collins never did that. Ever. He tolerated that crap and now it’s too late.

Simply cannot play the guy. Play Audige, Berry, Barnhizer, Beran and Big Matt.
My line up

Buie is not, and has never been the best player. We’ve seen the same crap for 3 years. Overall he is a liability. As soon as roper is back buies minutes should be reduced big time if they want to win.

Ok… as a parent of a jazz musician, I loved that commercial about the parents heckling at a school concert! 😂

Does streaky mean driving the lane out of control and falling on your *** -twice?

Your take; not mine. Collins is not silent on this - guaranteed. Does he have the luxury of benching him? I would say not, but you can disagree.

Why are we doubling their “big” man in the post??

Not anymore, but he did when Boo was young.

I agree, but many, many on this board have disagreed - it’s an open question. But he did just win us the prior game single-handedly.

Audige with a nice drive and find to get Berry the three. That’s good offense.

Right - so Ryan Greer could have taken over all his minutes?
Do you watch how other coaches do it? They come out immediately to get the message that **** isn’t acceptable and then they go back in later.

Last two times the had matt in the post, but brooks was on the same side and they did not respect his shot, so the guard sagged in.

Why do we always stop running our offense with a lead under 5 minutes?? Keep moving the ball. How many missed step back 3s from Boo and Chase do we have to watch. Where’s the drive and kick plays now?

Just because Jim Calhoun (who I know you watched a ton) did it relentlessly does not make it the law. That was his style and he had the bench to make it work. Collins certainly tries to do it when he can.

Through 5 games, admittedly against not the greatest competition, our defense has repeatedly shined. Have to give the team credit.

We have great team leg 🦵 speed! Reminds me of the five guard Loyola team a few years ago or the Michigan small team a couple years ago!

Truly an amazing amount of complaining for a team that came back from 12 down to lead by 14...

Calhoun, yes. But I also watched Huggins while in Cincinnati. Izzo does it too. I’m sure many others.
