Rinse Repeat...coaching is an issue ...half the board will defend Travis ...results stay the same . Talent without coaching doesn't sustain success

Defense is obviously not coached by Travis is practice

The lack of defensive fundamentals is disappointing...wide open 3 again

We want to believe we are elite. Tourney worthy. Well tourney worthy teams don't give efforts like that. This is not an overreaction. This is deserved for what we just watched.
I have said it consistently before and billiken Roy is right. This is not overreacting. Travis has been doing this for many years . He is not a great game coach and his emotions clearly get the best of him in bigger moments. Too uptight and his teams reflect that.

thatch is not the backup point guard answer. give it to hughes jr.
parker will definitely bring back the spoon thoughts "better outscore your man". he is fundamentally a defensive trainwreck. has the effort but lots of mistakes.
i guess we won. that's good.
Agree on Hughes give Thames a look at it too. Fred is not a point guard and it is easy to see that. It makes me scratch my head as Travis makes a decision like this while being a point guard himself as a player .

You've clearly never been an athlete. This is one of the worst posts in the history of Bills.com
For you to make the assumption that he faked an injury and sat out the NIT game is ludicrous. Perkins was healthy with no signs of impairment just 1 day before he actually got hurt.
You sound like a 19 year old kid who spouts nonsense just to get noticed. You should be ashamed
I put him on ignore many years ago skip. Best thing on this board I ever did.

Nesbit was at mid court when the final buzzer sounded. He then ran over to the Bills celebration by the announcers table.
If he said anything it was from really far away.
Watch him in this clip.
The biggest issue is Nesbitt walking away from the line on both misses. The first shot it appears Jimmerson tells him to go back on the line. Next his lack of blocking out Lofton could have cost us the game.

Bad shot jimerson. Bad look Yuri not seeing Fred right before that.
Fred had a layup ..Yuri went for the dagger 3 . Just tie the game . It drives me crazy how teams pass up a sure 2 pts . Time and score matters .

That was our 4th home loss to quality teams. Win 2 of the 4 and we would have had a solid chance but unfortunately losing all 4 ends the at large hope..only way in is to win the conference tournament

There is a pattern here ...all of our losses except Memphis have been the same

Been a 40% 3P shooter the last two seasons before the last week or so, now some posters want to give up on him. Yikes!
I know this board has its ebbs and flows but this is a new record
Not correct ..his stats
2018-2019 40.8
2019-2020 32.3
2020-2021 33.9
2021-2022 24.2
4 years since he shot 40 %
This is also a step up in competition as Roy points out . No one is Yikes just making some valid points that perhaps he is not what we thought we were getting.

Terrence is only in a two game slump, its not like its been a while now. Not too worried about him.
Seems to be more to it...he isn't starting..minutes are down ..Dad is tweeting about Ford and even tweeted the staff are concerned he has gained weight etc. Not sure it is a quick fix. As Roy said a kid filled with fun and joy has lost that.

We've owned UMass offensively for the past two years. Too bad we had our worst defensive performance of the year a few days prior but scoring against UMass has not been a problem. Scoring against Dayton, VCU and St. Bonaventure is.
That's because to the previous point we play to the their slow down needs. This team must play fast and as Roy mentioned it has been obvious for awhile. Look at the Boise State win and pre last 7 minutes of the losses at home to UAB ,Auburn and Belmont. Travis has to chill out on the mistakes that happen with a faster pace which . We win those 3 at home and we are ranked today even with the UMASS give away at their place.

This I agree with. The defensive effort was not acceptable.
We went to a zone for some reason in the second half which was really when the drives to the hoop started . Traore is still learning basketball and okoro is not good in a zone as he is also is not used to playing zone from his Oregon experience. Some of it is on the scheme we went to.

This is why the fouling out of Okoro in the final minute and Linssen not up to speed at the end was a dagger to us. I believe with Okoro in there in the last minute the outcome could have been different, As mentioned in my post game analysis above ...the shadow of the fpul strikes again...it was not just the extra foul shots for Mass but also the loss of Okoro at a key moment and others sitting as a result of foul trouble.
When okoro went back in Travis kept him switching on defense which put him in a mismatch with Fernandes whi gets the and 1...you have to go small ball then and bring in Nesbit etc not traore with no experience. Inexplicable why the most important possessions end in his hands. Just really dumb decisions.

I’m really hoping he doesn’t lose the locker room
Talk to the players ...he already has

Travis went off on the players post-game that they have to make plays "at this level" ie D1. Let me say that someone is being paid 2 5 million to coach "at this level"

Your center has 4 fouls and you keep switching on defense

Williams man scored again .
-
When you coach like it's desperate your players follow your lead
-
This all started with a switch to zone we don't play well . Then bring in Williams who hasn't played and work all the shots to him .Sigh

Our bigs are so poorly coached in fundamentals it is laughable
