Hard to judge success of anyone in this game tonight. The opponent was horrible.

In my opinion one game doesn't truly define the precedent moving forward. Great we benched Garrison for lack of effort but time will tell.

We need the following during the games:

1. Consistency from the players.
2. Accountability held from the coach.

Tonight was a step forward but just one step. Alot more steps on the horizon and all of the posts tonight after beating one of the worst teams statiscally in the country is just ....

I see the same half *** effort. We just happened to play one of the worst teams in the country. We will show exactly what we have been from the jump every time we play a team with a pulse.
I am convinced nothing changes this season, and nothing changes moving forward until pope and barnfart are replaced.

Benched Garrison. I get it and I think it was the right move. Johnson matched Garrison step by step going down the floor, giving an uncontested layup. Be consistent Pope. Bench Johnson for doing the same, identical thing. On the same play!

The players talk like they get along when asked but would you expect any different? I have yet to hear Coach Pope talk about their camaraderie like he did with last year’s team. I watch part of UConn and Fla and their effort and physical play made us look like a middle school team.

Glad to see BG benched along with Kam and Jaland getting disciplined in practice and sitting out the 1st half. However, why would these effort issues even be a problem after the firestorm of criticism the past few weeks? Along with a lack of effort there is a lack of pride.

This team is destined to surpass the 9-16 team as one of the worst in school history. At least that team seemed to play hard, as I don’t recall problems with effort. I don’t see a turnaround and as the season gets worse the issues will come out in the open. I don’t know how NIL works but would expect BG to leave at the semester break if he can still get his check, only Will stay if that is required to keep the $$ pouring in.

Many more games and I am fairly certain, many more effortless games and losses.
The next 2 games will reveal this team’s character. Hope my crystal ball is wrong!
