I had a relative walk in while I'm watching the game and I had to turn the channel so I wouldn't hear any ****.

How many guards are going to have a career night against Louisville guards. It is ridiculous these guys don’t compete.

That’s it. I’ve seen enough. Payne is clueless. And the players don’t give a ****. Heird is going to have to come out and provide some sort of blueprint going forward.

There is no coach that can’t fix players with no real skill or desire. You can fix somethings with pure effort. These players have zero effort. It is a unbelievable.

And replace with what….somebody that is worse. Come on. Quit acting like there is a bunch to work with. It is freaking terrible roster with kids that made the previous coach quit.

Yes the staff completely failed fixing this roster.

Ellis is the Cunningham of this team. He seems to think the team can only succeed if the ball is in his hands. The team looks better to me when Hercy is running the point.
Why no Rose and why no Fabio. Both of those guys gave good effort yesterday.
Around the 12 minute mark of the second half Lands scores, is fouled and completes the three point play. Then he assists JJ on the next trip down the floor. Then KP yanks him And buries him on the bench for most of the rest of the game. WTF?
Yesterday, the tapping and the press looked pretty good. I thought we would go to it if we got down by 8 or 10. Nope. Didn’t happen. Why???!!
This all makes no freaking sense! Coaching lost this game…again!

There are 14 players on the roster. Replace them with literally any one of the 9 players sitting on the bench. Draw a name out of a hat to decide which one for all I care. At this point, the only consequence is that we lose a game, but that’s happening anyway.

Fabio, Rose, Miller seem to come in a provide a spark, but KP yanks them ASAP!

Ok and you are going to fell better because he used more players and still lose by 20. It doesn’t matter. It just makes us feel better. They are terrible. John Wooden-Rick Pitino-Coach K would lose with this bunch.

They don’t care….that is the point. Sit them ok they sit on the bench you lose by 40.
Well if that’s the case, the answer is easy. A basketball player who likes sitting on the bench the entire game is called a student. So anyone who doesn’t care can pay their own tuition next year, because their scholarship will be given to someone else.

Right here ^^^. Scholarships are one year agreements. I’m guessing most of these guys have professional aspirations (delusional as that may be). Let’s see how much you impress a scout while your *** is hugging the bench.

I agree the entire roster except freshman need to go. At this level you have to hate to lose. These kids don’t care which is fine but they can take that stuff somewhere else.
