Loyola

[mcane]

It’s clear that TU has no offense against a tough defense. Down 25 and LC only played well for 10 minutes. Going to be a long year and probably K’s last.

The Loyola announcers can’t believe how horrible the TU offense is
At this point I wonder about the team’s mental framework
Loyola is in my view mediocre
Up 20 with.15
This team is disappointing not well coached
And Jared Garcia if he ever returns will not change that
If the season plays out as I expect I’ll skip the last month and hope Konkol is canned

 

[mcane]

And apparently there is total apathy
No one posting
That says a lot

 

[mcane]

Konkol should resign if he has any pride
80-45 with 5 minutes
Worse performance than the football team

It’s football season. We’ve got bigger things to complain about.

I started a game thread before you. There is posting over there.

I'd say football and basketball are equally bad.

My wife was saying that it isn’t nice of them screaming “you let the whole team down”

Konkol's offensive scheme has been mediocre for years now. It doesn't generate good looks. Honestly, Haith's offense was better. I think we have decent players at this juncture, but they're not being put into positions to succeed. Everything devolves into an isolated dribble drive to the basket. No meaningful screening, few cuts. Poor rebounding.

I can't believe we gave him an extension. I'm fine with letting the season play out, but I have no clue why we continually put ourselves in worse situations with coaching buyouts.

 

[mcane]

Oh to the contrary
TU’s football season ended more than a month ago as did OU and OSU’s season

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Haith's offense was better.

They were equal, neither looked better.

 

[I.I.]

No offense sets to get open shots. Every shot is contested. That is not the sign of great coaching. Turnovers the past two games is indicative of something else. Hopefully beating some lesser teams will help stabilize things. But the offense has to change.

So does the defense

7 games (including the exhibition game) is a large enough sample size to understand what we have.

It’s pretty obvious that we were overzealous about the ORU win. They aren’t good at all this year.

We’ve played 3 average to decent mid-majors…and are 0-3.

This roster is broken…again. Not quite as bad as Konkol’s year 1…but worse than year 2.

I think these guards would be pretty good individually on other good teams, but collectively, they’re not long or skilled enough to overcome our inside deficiencies.

But…the massive issue is the glaring void of any discernible talent at the 4 and 5 positions.

We will be at least a little better with Garcia. Enough better that we could have beat Arkansas Little Rock, and played a lot tougher game against Mizzou St.

When we do get Garcia back, I'd like to see us play around with this lineup a bit: two out of the three(Odom/Archie/Willis) and Amadi, Garcia, & Smikle.
