Effort is not bad. But the weak double team leaves guys open for 3's and Wyoming hitting them. Our offense is simply terrible. Our bigs cannot score vs decent defense. And while DJ is our best player, he is not quick enough to get good shots all the time. We are down 8 with just over 3 minutes to play and it will take a miracle to win.
So I guess last week was not a “light bulb” going off for this team but an oncoming train!
This game sums up Kevin’s career here.
A typical head scratching loss when they are supposedly turning the proverbial corner, but nope they get mugged on the corner instead, by a bad team at home.
Slow down basketball doesn’t work in Las Vegas. We passed up numerous early 3 point shots only to get a poorer shot late in the shot clock . They just can’t figure it out. Play fast… shoot fast… or get out of dodge. Quit playing Coach Kruger vanilla basketball…
Got completely outcoached. If we would of pressed and trapped we would have won easily. THEY had multiple guys that could not dribble or shoot freethrows.
I mean, this is Runnin' Rebels basketball under Kevin. He will have a Q4 home loss after a pair of nice wins. He will find a way to kill any program momentum by not getting his guys ready to play a bad team. You will never go dancing with Kevin at the helm. I'm tired of pretending that it's possible. Shit, we're not even going to make the NIT at this rate so what does that do the 'he's learing on the job and getting incrementally better each year' narrative?
