That fucking ref changed a foul call (an obvious foul!!) to a jump…

Johnson should have gone after the ref!!

The older I get, the more I know I'm going to treat our next Final Four like our last one. Ever.

Too many stupid turnovers
Too many missed bunnies
Too many missed FT's
Can't buy a 3 point shot
Playing crappy defense against the 3 point shot (we continue to stink against the high ball screen)

And most of all.....we are not playing with any intensity. Oregon State wants this game more than we do

I'm not hearing any criticism of our coaches. Is that because our coaches are awesome but our players have checked out?

The Athletic was right, this team is not going far in the tourney. Might even not win the last Pac tourney.

I was convinced we weren't winning the Pac tourney after the WSU loss.

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 10:49 pm**

Do we really want to win the tourney?

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 10:51 pm**

When your starting point guard actually has four negative PER's over eight Pac-12 games there should not really be any question what the biggest problem is for this team.

I see that. I really didn't anticipate having major (potentially season-jeopardizing) PG issues by mid-season.

Hard to switch when its Ballo on the screener........but we could hedge the screen hard

That is not even in the discussion now. We’ve got issues.

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 10:55 pm**

We might not win another game outside McKale. And OSU is another team shooting over 50% from 3. One team doing it is an anomaly. But I think this is the 3rd or 4th time against us so far this year. Our D is just bad.

He also had back to back games with 5 steals earlier this season. You just don't know what you're getting from night to night with him.

Even with Ballo out of the play the dribble isn't stopped or the shooter is open on the perimeter.

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 10:55 pm**

53% 3 pt for the Beavs. UA had to be around 200th in 3 point defense

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 10:56 pm**

At least KJ and Love fearless...

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 10:58 pm**

We break down into iso drives without good action setups.

I'm no expert, but that sounds like a coaching issue.

You won't get any argument from me. We should switch every high ball screen......except when Ballo is on the screener when we should hedge it hard. The way we play it now is too passive. We let the shooter turn the corner and get a wide open look almost every time. This is one area that is on the coaches

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 11:01 pm**

Can’t stop that

Sure Boswell just chuck up some 40 footers

Why do I stay up this late to watch us play on the road? It’s like I enjoy torturing myself.

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 11:02 pm**

Boswell shouldn't be playing the rest of the game.

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 11:03 pm**

What a joke

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 11:03 pm**

Feels like dejavu - getting torched from 3

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 11:03 pm**

Need to get Ballo out and go to small ball now.......let Keshad play center.

And get Boswell out. I would rather have Martinez on the floot.

I posted last week, his range is at the arc, no further than that.

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 11:04 pm**

Our 3 point D is the most pathetic I've ever seen. And we play dumb basketball on the road. Like I said before, wouldn't shock me if we don't win another game away from McKale this year. Including Vegas and the Big Dance. We're just too soft, too bad on D, and make brainless turnovers at the worst times.

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 11:05 pm**

Sure take Lewis out but leave Boswell in

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 11:05 pm**

Can’t buy a 3 for us…

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 11:05 pm**

I'm so confused what Tommy is thinking.

This has been theme with our defense that precedes the Lloyd era.

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 11:07 pm**

Sure fall away 3 over Ballo, all net

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 11:07 pm**

The Beavers are doing to us what we did to UCLA last week!

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 11:07 pm**

We were 18.5 point favorites in this game.

Posted: **Thu Jan 25, 2024 11:07 pm**

We FINALLY hedged a screen on that last play..........it took Lloyd 18 minutes to make that decision

I’m outa here. Fuck this!

I wonder if any reporter will ask Tommy why he trusts the wrong players in crunch time. Why not play the guys who have been playing well?

Embarrassing to get baited into that foul
