@BShark Was just going to say the same thing.
@benshawks08 So it's virtue signaling essentially.
must have expected bigger minutes
I think coaches wearing them is silly. Completely lacks logic.
It is okay to let 15 strangers gather and breath all over each other for 40 minutes, but the guy who is 10 feet from everyone should be wearing a mask lol.
Just no common sense there as far as I'm concerned.
Bruan and Ochai need to play 30+ MPG. Anything less is crazy talk.
We basically have 5 guys. We need to find a 4th guard who can play and we need to find a 2nd big who can sub in for Wilson for 10-15 minutes per game without absolutely killing us.
@justanotherfan Not arguing that. I'm just not sure that exists on this roster... Someone has to play the 5 besides Wilson though. Wilson can't play it 40 minutes a game because he is going to get in foul trouble several games simply because he is smaller and teams are going to try to exploit that all season.
If you told me our best lineup this year would be with him at the 5 I would have laughed you out of the building.
The fact that Bill has already realized that his best 5 currently are that five guard lineup is huge. He would have NEVER done that in the past.
The question is if/when he gives up on Dave completely and we can find a way to go 5 guards the entire game even if Wilson gets in foul trouble. Or maybe Dave can get some mojo here against some cupcakes...
One thing is for sure, Dave needs to watch some Landen Lucas film and realize his role on this team is not to shoot the ball. No more turnaround jumpers. No more 15 footers. No more baby hooks over 7'3 wingspans. Just layups and screens on the offensive side of the ball. If Dave can do that, he becomes playable again. If he is going to keep forcing shots, he needs to sit. The man is 6'10, 260 lbs and is shooting 25% from the field and leading the team in turnovers. He is a net negative if he is going to keep playing this way.
Dave has a PER of 2.8 this year. Doke had a 31.5 last season. That is the dropoff. An average PER is 15. If we could even get THAT out of Dave, I think we'd all be feeling better. But there is not a single nice thing you can say about Dave the past three games other than it probably can't get much worse...
I would imagine Bill is already thinking he needs to find a Plan B if Plan A is that Dave will start playing better.

Here is the clip for Bill. Weak AF
@wissox yep. Only 60 ppg allowed, good for 10th best in the country.
Doke was just a monster and then you had Dot and Garrett pestering
@wissox long for it?
Last years D was #2 kenpom in the country and ELITE.
Is Texas... good?
@BShark 6 steals in the two games
@wissox I like SVP.
Harris makes the ball move. 6 of 9 assists today
A win in what was an affront to the entire sport of basketball, but a win none the less.
It’s a 3
This picture says it all
Harris 4 steals too.
Him and Garrett are a scary 1-2
5 assist for Harris tonight
Psshhh. Harris is a dude
I’m so glad Cal isn’t our coach. I hate his interviews
@BShark yes only one I was worried about was Bryce and that’s already not an issue
Is Harris really that much of a brick layer?
Just let the coaches take the masks off lol. They aren’t wearing them
Hope someone does the math to see what our +/- is with this group of 5 on the floor is. Has to be jaw dropping
Wilson the best player in the floor tonight for both teams
-8 with Dave on the floor tonight. Which considering the score, is like, bad.
This is going to be such a long season
Both teams should have to take a loss for this atrocity
@approxinfinity define play
I’ve never appreciated Landen Lucas more in my life
Really not tough to see our best 5 on the floor
Enaruna still just looks a little lost out there. Hoping he doesn’t transfer because I think he can be a dude next season
Sarr is +9 in 11 minutes.
I was told Dave would do better and that Gonzaga’s front court was sooo good Dave would play better and we wouldn’t see a better front couet
Yea someone explain how Dave only has 2 rebounds in 16 minutes in this brickfest
Self teams always leave something to be desired at the line
9 blocks lol
Oh yep 7
@wissox by 2 from what I’m looking at
@msanchez nothing like being good at the worst shot in basketball

@BeddieKU23 said in Calamari Game Thread:
I'm sorry. This is the worst post player we've ever had start
Walk ons on senior night included
Bring back Moody
How are we even in this game
@msanchez because he has no other post moves
Harris needs to play 35 minutes a game. Garrett should too, but just off the ball
Harris is +23 on the floor so far in only 28 minutes so far this season
Harris only player with a positive +/- atm
Would really like to get it under 10 going into the half
Why watch a free throw when you can watch a mummified 80 year old man from Brooklyn?
