I honestly feel it's despite of Collins, not because of him. That may seem hypercritical but i just don't see it any other way. Can you recall a time we played really really smart basketball to close a game and were compelled to think, "We outcoached the other team"? We're the kind of team that HAS TO PLAY SMART, has to work as a team and overcome the often obvious talent differential at bigger schools. Yet we're the ones playing the game as though we have NBA talent, on a lot of one-on-one basis, instead of setting up each other for good shots. There just has to be a better way than this.

We had loads of good shots today. Keeping Audige in hurt us, but we need to shoot better. This, plus the defense was the bigger problem in the second half. Beran and our “help” defense were the culprits.

These guys have been in his “system” for a long time so if they don’t know what to do its a direct reflection on collins.

I’m not so sure on the loads of good shots tonight. Seen some games this year when that was true. I saw quite a few bad shots tonight. Hey I’ve got the ball who cares about getting set or working the ball I‘ll just chuck it.
