UM VS Indiana MBB Official GameThread

Shit sandwich

Indiana is absolutely noting special. What does that say about us?

Classic wet fart ending. This team can't close games at all, a recurring theme under Howard.

Ugh. Going to be a long season. 
 

This team is a dumpster fire. At least we had fun during that St Johns game

LOL What a wet fart to end the game

Pathetic

This program is in a sad state. Remarkable how everything that made it successful for roughly a decade has simply eroded. 

I didn’t watch but it’s to the point I don’t have to and still know exactly what will happen. Shame on me for getting a little excited about the St John’s win. This team stinks. 

The longer Juwan stays the worse this team gets 

I am not sure that Warde is willing to make a change. He seems like the kind of guy that will dig in his heels. It worked well sticking with Harbaugh but then he did the same thing with Pearson.

Yeah, this looks like the end. Just depressing all around. Environment, team. Hard to see this season going anywhere but the tubes 

Besides the fact that our players choke in clutch time over and over and over again, our coaching strategy is terrible.  How do you let the game play out down one, IU with the ball and only a 6 second differential on the shot clock?  Martelli is just as poor in late game situations as Howard has shown to be.

Tough loss. Players just are not making winning plays. It’s frustrating because they honestly looked like a good team to start the season. It will probably be a tough watch all season but maybe they can get something going. 

The most shocking part about this was M was favored by 6…

I enjoy watching and supporting this team.  They seem like a great group of unselfish players.  You just have to know that we will crap away every game that is even remotely close.  We either won’t box out, we’ll start missing free throws, or we’ll play the craptastic defense that we’ve been playing all year (or all three!) Basketball in the last 3-4 minutes of a tight game is completely different in terms of the need for focus, concentration, and attention to detail.  You can tell this coaching staff is lax on all the details and that is when it is really revealed.  Hopefully, Juwan will move on or retool the staff and bring in some detail oriented coaches, especially on the defensive side.  

On the bright side, Sparty shit the bed at home against Wiscy.

Gonna miss out on some 25 kids if we don’t fix this

I don’t know - I’ve been a Juwann supporter since day one, and to some degree I feel bad for him because this team looks totally different with Caleb love, Terrance Shannon, and Hunter. But, at the end of the day your record is your record and it’s…not looking good.

We have the same end of game issues, the same lack of cohesion, the same questions about roster construction. It’s Scott frost part deux, and sadly I think the writing is on the wall…

Why can’t this team ever win a close game?

This season we probably will not make the NIT. It will be boring once football season ends. Are there jersey numbers over 100 for a longer football season countdown?

What a trainwreck of a program  Howard HAS TO GO
