Hey I will give you an a+ for effort … had to stop and think for 1/2 a second but only 1/2 a second 😂
UTEP @ #8 Kansas MBB
- Thread starter groundrounds
- Start date
We need shooters in a bad way DB, as you mentioned many times.
I decided taking a lighter approach tonight versus the last game was in order.
This team is so bad in transition. We get blocked, turn it over, or just miss easy shots during every breakaway, and it's not just this game. We have seen this all year so far
Let me get this straight. Golding stresses defense and Kansas is shooting 66% against our defenders who he feels are capable defenders, but are shooting 25% themselves. Satterfield doesn't play because of his "D," shortcomings. I get it
Why can't we ****ing shoot? Shit, I bet Fili could shoot better than 20% from 3. MF'ers' can't Fn' shoot the damn ball.
There’s a point where you say eff defense, especially if the other team is scoring on nearly all possessions.
Just reviewed the stats. If you remove our 3 point shots(1 for 14) we are 50% (8 for 16)
BTW my ESPN ap is not working
TBF, I thought he got fouled all three times he put up a shot on that one sequence. IMO.
Kalu already has one more in game dunk than Efe....one.
He may have. He just has no hops. Or he has slow hops. Maybe it’s low hops. It’s one of those 3.😏
He is listed at 6' 9", but there is no way he is for starters; no way he can score over McCormack. His hands look questionable. Maring looks worse.
I can't say that I'm surprised about our lack of offense. Unfortunately with this team that's to be expected. But the first half D really sucked. We do look better on D so far in this 2nd half.
Kennedy still jacking up 3s. As a team we’re shooting 15% from deep. So, it’s not just KK tonight.
A bright spot: offensive rebounds
UTEP - 11
Kansas - 6
UTEP - 11
Kansas - 6
Kennedy has put up 16 shots…. Just throw my hands up ….. I would rather have sibley take 16 shots
When we miss as much as we do we should have an advantage there. I wonder how many of those offensive rebounds led to points?
Not many. I was just looking to balance all my negativity with some sunshine.
Difficult for me to turn the tv off and walk away from a game but equally difficult was watching this one.
Devils advocate here… but I liked Jans and he was a proven winner, and can recruit to the area. I hope UTEP didn’t fall into to beating Texas hype… I didn’t see much coaching or adjusting tonight. Looked like a Terry team. Again, not saying I don’t like Golding. Just wonder what made him better than Jans?
Did you see the end score? KU took their foot off the gas
I, on the other hand, have been all in on Golding from the get go. I have to agree with you, though. Not much in the way of coaching adjustments tonight. Definitely looked like a CRT coached team.
It pisses me off that Kennedy is still chunking so many 3s up. Why the **** would Golding allow for it? That brings up a red flag, imo.
Well atleast it’s to Kansas if this happens in conference, we may have a problem. They almost beat NMSU that has to count for something. Don’t think they win at the PIT. Tough start for the Miners.
True freshman with good upside.
That’s a 50/50 question but we will never know until some local writer does his history years and years from now… if he stays at NMSU.
So I ****ing cringe every time I see Kennedy starting to throw up another gawd awful 3. I have hopes for Golding but after 8 games he seems only marginally better than the former guy in that our guys seem to play with more heart.
Golding needs to have a come to Jesus chat with Kennedy and tell him that unless he is driving to the hoop he needs to look to pass first, second, and third. After that, pass the ****ing ball.
Our guys looked absolutely awful offensively tonight. Just ****ing awful.
I saw lots of hustle and effort defensively which I appreciate.
I don't know what that's supposed to mean, but we could really have used Efe this season. We severely lack big men and he's averaging double-figures.
Golding can't expect Terry to do all the recruiting for him. He could have picked up an impact transfer or two the way Pitino did at UNM.
