The year was 2016....the team didn’t trust each other...we lacked a leader...couldn’t hit free throws...we blew giant first half leads...welcome back! Only difference...I think this team figures it out sooner than later!

we dont have the shooting to run motion. need inside out.
Eastern has been such a disappointment this year. I thought he would be an offensive threat, but he hasn’t shown any improvement. Also some terrible bail out fouls tonight. Gotta get these things fixed
You think my post was only based on that one play?? lmao
Kid is worse than last year.
Wheeler hasn't been great in any game this far. Texas exposed him. And now Marquette. He can't protect the ball and he can't take it strong and finish at the basket.
Agree on that...Boilers are just down two with three minutes left.....some one or two need to step up....we shall see.
This is why I thought that if we were going to reach our potential this season we were eventually going to need Newman to play abd play a lot.
One particular poster wouldn’t stop talking about how improved his shooting was and how ready he was to take the leap. Also his size should make him a huge mismatch for defenses. He doesn’t know how to use it though.
I’m not sure we will even score again. Hunter and Proctor have to be more selfish for us going forward. Nojel isn’t a threat outside of one foot and his percentage at that range is really bad at this point.
Lol. I didn't believe that for a second. You don't just "fix" your shooting. It's evident that he has no resemblance of a shot.
It's a little early to write the game off, but we definitely deserve to lose
I thought he be an offensive threat because we need him to be. When you do not have any instant offense scorers on the team you need every player to at least be a threat to score.
He is what he is. A streaky 3 point shooter who happens to be tall and athletic. Not much else. The Vince comparisons have always been laughable.
Why would he change into an offensive threat when he has had no offense for two years?
Tough to win with a 35-14 deficit in a second half.....roof caving in on this game for the Boilers.
I will say it again this team will be a bubble team No go to guy on this team and it will not change this year. Those who believe so are just fooling theirselves. My opinion from what I've seen so far We will be playing in the NIT. Now go ahead and bash me for being realistic.
Totally. Flopper as well. Guy can shoot but I'm not too impressed by him.
We looked worse to start the year last year. Painter will get it figured out, but it’s definitely frustrating to watch right now.
yeah that is why I strongly disagreed with the poster that was saying a couple weeks ago that this is the best team Painter has ever had because Wheeler > Edwards and so on and so forth. This team can grow but has a long way to go. We have a ton of work to do on the offensive end and if we do not figure out we might not be ranked again anytime this year.
