Title: Fun Facts re: DePaul game
Post by: Jay Bee on March 01, 2026, 07:08:10 PM
I haven't watched much of the game. Was busy earning a medal in hard fought PB games. However, watched the last 5 mins and took a quick look at the play-by-play. As I've been saying the entire season, a big concern has been weird choices the coaching staff has made.

So, here we go again. #muMbb up 8-4 in a sluggish start to the game.. 14:34 on the clock.

18 and Tre come in.  Four minutes later we're losing.

I don't mean this in the wrong way, but #dafuq

It's a concern that will continue to be with me. That is, bizarre coaching decisions. 

Obviously lots of issues in this one, but man... sometimes I can't figure out wtf we're thinking from a personnel deployment situation. In the final minutes, the senior center for the sleeping giant.. smh.. needed some Ben in there imo.

Very frustrating.

Also, eff outta here for anyone talking about 'ft's matta'. Bruh, 50% from the line was great offense for this game. We scored 0.81 ppp this game. Puke. Worst OE of the season.

Hamilton gave up 6 points immediately off the bench. He is incapable of guarding anyone on the perimeter. I've never seen such a wide array of differently skilled players constantly and easily best him off the dribble.

Exactly. Now plenty of bad happened after they left, but you have a team struggling to score and you put two offensive black holes out there and...uh...what exactly do you think is going to happen?

Anyway there just isn't enough talent on this team. Even the "core" we are counting on returning next season is wildly inconsistent.

Totally agree with you, but the starters can't play 40 minutes either. The bench isn't exactly loaded. Darn frustrating.

Completely agree.  People complain about Shaka bringing in this guy or that guy.  The fact is the bench is Owens, Norman, Hamilton, Phillips, and Clark.  Unless the starters are going to play 40 minutes, whom else do you suggest he bring in?  Yes, it is his own fault for having such a crappy bench, but at this point it is what it is.

If guys are good enough to play 4 years in the NCAA, then they shouldn't be on the bench.  *cough* redshirts *cough*.

I think JB has issues with bringing in 18 and 5 at the same time.

Fun fact: we're less than two weeks away from all upperclassmen being relieved of their duties; official portal opening on April 7. Hopefully 3 new additions who can start.
