The USU cheerleaders were out grazing and they had to coral them back.
Outside of DJ, we got no dependable scorers. With a semi capable offense we would be winning this game. Some of it is little movement on offense, some of it is shaky offensive players.
Dedan is so unclutch. Misses halftime shot at the buzzer and now can’t tie it up, Agholes drain a 3 immediately right after
Few? Name them.
It’s clear he gets rattled by the pressure of an ENTIRE program on his back in crunch time. Missing free throws when he’s usually automatic in situations where the game is not close.
I’m not saying he sucks or anything. Just that he gets rattled when the pressure is on. If he had a wingman like Donovan Williams or Bryce Hamilton, this wouldn’t even be an issue. Which is why I think he will move on to another program like Gonzaga or Arizona. Where he can just be a facilitator and not have to carry a whole program.
DTJ shot 61%, 50% from 3, 83% FT, 6 assists and 1 turnover. In 40 min.
"I’m not saying he sucks or anything..", "He’ll get better..", "Dedan is so unclutch. Misses halftime shot at the buzzer and now can’t tie it up.."
Not sure what you guys want from a player. Without him the team would be competing with AF for the bottom place on a bottom league.

I think that the biggest gripe is that his supporting cast isn’t better. He’s a solid college PG asked to do things that PG’s aren’t always asked to do.
Biggest gripe, UNLV is 310th in assists per game 12.6, why the offense sets stink, the coaching stinks, and the players around them are not good enough, that said the conference stinks, not one really good team this year. USU might be 19-2, just not impressed, system team with coach who knows what he is doing. FIRE KK, 9 more games of him
“Not sure what you guys want from a player?”
What should we expect from a player that is the highest paid player on the team by a significant margin? I didn’t construct this roster and it’s not like DTJ had no say in recruiting.
It’s ok to say this experiment with CKK is flaming out spectacularly, it’s ok to say DTJ isn’t a program changing talent as he’s been advertised. Terrible conference and terrible product on the floor. Tear it all down and get a real HC that can build a real roster.
And there it is….moral victory.
“Despite the final score on Wednesday, Kruger saluted his team for standing strong in such an adverse atmosphere.
“I’m not a moral victory guy,” Kruger said. “I won’t sleep, I won’t eat, I won’t feel good about it. But when I watch the film I think I’m going to take the positives of the things we did well, and the things we can build on, because we’ve proven we’re a good team in this conference.”
