Poor start vs good teams is a theme.

Didnt even show show up to play today. Down by 2 TDs. LoL 14-0.


WTH is the strategy?

Embarrassing start. We are lost on the court. No chemistry, no good passing, just drive an turn over.

I’ll never believe any hype for a Howland team…

It’s to the point that he’s just seems to be coasting, and I’d like to see him go. Our program is so below average lately that it may be very hard to replace him with anybody half decent that would stay a while.

He’s been coasting ever since he got here. Bob Boyd 2.0, except he recruits well enough not to get fired.

We run the same offensive set every trip. Dump in into the low post. He makes a move or throws it back out. No movement. No skip passed. No pick and roll. Awful basketball.

It takes a while to build chemistry with all these transfers. It’s one of my primary concerns with Kermit. He coached them so hard that our roster turnover is like 50%. I’m not sure if that’s the case with Howland, but I know y’all brought in several transfers

Minnesota had 4 TOs for the game

Even as hot as they got from 3, how clean they were on offense was the real difference.

Whatever it is, we won’t get there. I’m fed up with Howland. If we don’t make the NCAA Tournament, he needs to go.

Is Cam Mathews doing what he did last year on the defensive end, or is he focused on trying to become a scorer? I need to watch the replay.

I believe Roles still need to be defined before this team gets to conference play.

Underwhelming efforts against complete patsies made me very worried this team was not what many here seemed to think. I hope they can figure it out quickly. These losses are going to kill any big tourney chances if they can't figure out how to beat quality teams.

It feels like we have 0 chance vs Colorado State, but they need to win that one in the worst way.

Well that's the game Howland will win then. Every time you get ready to buy in to his teams, they lose. Every time you get ready to give up on them, they win.

That sounds familiar….

That was a common theme from early September until right about now in another sport.
