Same thing I've been saying for all the Tad years ... we simply don't have playmakers at the guard position, guys who can get to the rim and score or create for someone else. White is the only one, and even he's not that quick. ****ing CSU has 2-3 of those types. How the **** does that happen? Tad has a serious blind spot.
XJ needs to keep shooting.

CSU vs. Notre Dame is going to make for a wild national championship game.

Dinwiddie is as close as you get
WELP. Not a lot to say. Weird game where during the contested part of the game, I felt we were the better team that couldn't stop shooting itself in the foot.
But the way the game continued, it felt like CSU was the better team and eventually they stepped on our throats and ran us out of our own building. Yikes.

What can you really say about this game, team, and coaching?
So many upperclassmen and yet such little basketball IQ. How do you fix this? They turn the ball over at an alarming rate and come out slow it seems every game. They lack focus, attention to detail, and leadership.

Too much emphasis on "tweeners" and wings who rebound and have good size but lack prototypical guard skills
Saying this team is entitled or lazy ignores the fact that they're just simply not very good. The 2013-2016 recruiting classes suggested this sort of letdown year. Hopefully the 2017 class is more than ready to turn things around next year or we're headed in a not-so-good direction.

As has been said above, leadership is key, which means some upperclassmen need to be moving on (with a tip of the hat to the fact that they have served their roles well in the past). XJ is the one upperclassman who put his heart into the game tonight, despite his meager statline. I like Peters. Hopefully Tad can keep his recruiting class together.

I'm not one of those people that scream for coaches to be fired at the drop of a hat. IF things go downhill with this upperclassmen team, is Tad's job in jeopardy?
Bad basketball in a majority of the games so far this year.
I must not understand your question because what I'm reading makes no ****ing sense.

One may argue that Tad is having a tough time getting the Buffs over the hump success-wise (one and done in the tourney), but before Tad the hump was a three days' march from being on the horizon.
We are severely lacking a dynamic guard. Lots of good pieces but no one to break down the defense and create. White seems to have decent basketball IQ but the fact that he has been playing PG when he is clearly NOT a PG seems to be an indictment on the other guards more than anything.
Last year the offense flowed almost exclusively through Scott and we got away with it because he is a true back-to-basket player and worked well out of the double team. Wes, while a good player, IS NOT (although we seem to continue to try and run the offense through him). Unless the guard play can improve, its going to be a long year!
Also really frustrating watching King. Dude has a legit NBA body and could take over every game. Announcers were spot on in their criticism

The talent is there. Just need to find some consistency on offense

This, all day long. We basically have one big man who can't create his own offense, one little guy who's kinda out of control and can't shoot a lick, and then 8-9 other guys that are basically the same player ... can't create (except White), so stand around and hope for an open jump shot.
Sounds like a **** show tonight huh. I didn't see it but saw the score. Is it system or what?

Nailed it!!!
Just a misunderstanding. I thought you asked if Tad's job could be in jeopardy if we have a bad year. But unless Alex Trebek is retiring, that is absurd.

Tad has 13 scholarships-he has used ONE since 2011 on a point guard-now that one is hurt and wasn't dynamic to begin with. He better think long and hard on the point guard position going forward and maybe find a way to add one before next season.This ship is rudderless and life less at the moment. Of course make about 5 to 7 more free throws early in the game and we probably win.
