Billiken75 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 When we needed outside shooting - the 3 pt - at the end of the game, why not have McBroom in versus Barnett? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majerus mojo Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 this can't be a serious question after today. AM could not play play much worse than JB did down the stretch, therefore, Crews should look into using AM more. He could be just as bad, who knows. Also, after realizing how painful our offense can be whenever we're not constantly feeding DE (i.e. the first half of every game), I'm coming around on AM's pull up 2's and 3's. At least someone doesn't mind letting one rip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BACKHANDtheRICAN Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 JB sucks. Play anyone else. Anyone. Calling him Cassity would be a disservice to Cassity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NH Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I would have killed to have a player of Cassitys quality out there instead of Jake. Not a good defender, doesn't create on offense, and I don't think he is a good shooter. He has never shot well for a significant period of time. Do I think he cost us the game? No, there were lots of factors that contributed to that. But jake's role of wing off the bench is a weakness for our team, plain and simple.

slufan13 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Can we pick another phrase than "name calling"? I feel like we're talking about a bunch of 5 year olds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoSluBills Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I mostly agree. I can see wanting to have Barnett out there for defensive matchups (especially with AM being 5'9"), however in my mind JB hasn't looked that strong defensively either. I recall him getting blown by a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUBillsFan Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Here are my thoughts. I've expressed them numerous times before. Saying something like: "Barnett played horrible that game. He missed key FTs and air balled 3 that could have tied the game. I would have liked to see McBroom playing instead." is perfectly fine. Saying: "Jake Barnett sucks. He is garbage. I wish he wasn't on the team." is out of line. Criticism of the play of a player is fine (although constructive criticism is the best) . Personal attacks on a player are wrong. I don't think it is too difficult to differentiate between the two and I don't think it is too much to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lelbron Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Can we add Royce Simpson to this debate. He is the the Billiken X-factor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseman Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Ok who do people take it out on - JC - after all he is getting the big bucks. I am sorry JB had two wide open 3s blocked at the end of the game. He has become somewhat of a lightening rod but he has earned every bit of it. He did not even rebound today. By the way, perhaps JC needs to go back to having somebody write on the blackboard - to win defend and rebound. We have not rebounded all year! Defend- sometimes great sometimes non existence. As I said earlier unless this team figures out how to be more consistent in all phases of the game they simply will not be very good. They do not look like a NCAA team at all.

RUBillsFan Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 When we needed outside shooting - the 3 pt - at the end of the game, why not have McBroom in versus Barnett? If we are just looking for outside shooting, why not have both McBroom and Barnett in the game with Jett on the bench? I will say that I would like to see McBroom get more PT than Barnett. There is no reason that he shouldn't be a great defender because of how quick he is. Perhaps fans who are angry with Jake should really be pissed that McBroom hasn't made more of an effort to improve his defense? He has a whole transfer year to work on it. Some of our best stretches of many games last year were with Mitchell, McCall, and Jett all in the game at the same time. There is no reason we can't do the same thing with McBroom in place of Mitchell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUBillsFan Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 yes sir. that's what scares me I think you guys are forgetting how poor we looked at times last year (losing to Rhode Island and Santa Clara at home, losing at Xavier with an awful shooting performance, getting smacked down by KU). Even NCAA tournament teams have rough stretches. We showed that we can play with the #10 and #12 teams in the country despite not playing our best. I feel like we were spoiled by the great run last year. This team may not be that good, but they are certainly good enough to get into the tournament (although probably a bubble team at this point).

Kwam played in the Rhode Island game (though he was def not the reason we lost) and the loss at Xavier. I'm not ready to jump overboard yet. I'd rather have sh*tty games now and hopefully they learn from them than have sh*itty games in March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufan13 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Worth noting that we stopped their 17-0 run in the 1st half with McBroom on the court. I believe he scored 5 of the next 7 points and like 7 of the 11 after that run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emoracze Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I would have liked to see us move Dwayne to the 3 and put in TL or RA. I think we would have greatly benefited from that, even if we lost today that experience down the stretch for our Frosh would have been worth a lot.
