2022 Myrtle Beach Invitational Tourney thread- (RV) MEN'S basketball (Conway, SC; 3rd CU game vs. Boise State, Sunday, 11/20,5:00 PM MT, ESPNNEWS)

[Da Lama]

Pretty obvious Lovering needs to put on some serious weight because he’s been getting bullied all game

 

[BuffsNYC]

Can't really play fast when your players cannot finish at the rim.

 

[buff4bcs1985]

Horrible horrible loss

 

[Denver_sc]

Well.


that ****ing sucked.

 

[H.E. Pennypacker]

Nique, , O'Brien complete non factors.

 

[Da Lama]

brutal day today. we're in dire need of shooters (or just make a few more dang lay ups) and maybe a bit more continuity in lineups. would love to see Ruffin get more extended time. bright spot continues to be the growth of Lovering

Ruffin for Clifford at this point.

 

[Formerly_Medford]

Not going to win when Clifford has regressed so much and Allen can't get on the floor. We maybe have two good athletes on the team outside those two.

It's going to be a long season because this team just can't shoot, and you gotta be able to shoot when you don't have plus athletes.

 

[Da Lama]

Nique, , O'Brien complete non factors.

Wouldn't call them non-factors because they actually hurt us more than helped for the most part.

 

[Darth Snow]

Well, that's two mulligans. This team is volatile as ****. We need A&M to lose.

 

[Formerly_Medford]

He does have to get bigger though. He was pretty good today at holding his ground and making life difficult for their bigs.

 

[hokiehead]

this is a double elimination tourney, right? we get the loser of the Murray St / A&M game next?

 

[DBT]

We had 20 more shots than UMass

 

[Da Lama]

With everything that went wrong in that game and with certain players continuing to absolutely sh!t the bed, we still get MF'ers in here bagging on Lovering.

WHAT
IN
THE
ACTUAL
FVCK
?

 

[slider]

Nique was non existent but the fact that Hadley took all his shots is concerning

Nique needs to sit. End of story.

Not true. We just watched it happen

 

[Da Lama]

Here's where we can all get something out of this loss...Tad's teams always bounce back well after sh!t losses. Take the Buffs and lay/take the points tomorrow morning.

 

[BuffsNYC]

Not true. We just watched it happen

 

[ZandiBuff]

We had 20 more shots than UMass

And we missed ALL of them

Lovering probably had the best game out everyone.

Hadley needs to be able to shoot from beyond 2 feet or he's going to be wildly ineffective as the year goes on.

 

[H.E. Pennypacker]

Hadley needs to be able to shoot from beyond 2 feet or he's going to be wildly ineffective as the year goes on.

I like him on defense, he has very active hands but he probably missed the most shots within 5 ft I've ever seen. The rest of the team wasn't much better.

 

[Formerly_Medford]

I like him on defense, he has very active hands but he probably missed the most shots within 5 ft I've ever seen. The rest of the team wasn't much better.

Active hands, gets his rebounds, but at 6'6", playing essentially the four (he spends more time in the paint than Da Silva) he has to be a stretch four.

 

[ZandiBuff]

Hadley needs to be able to shoot from beyond 2 feet or he's going to be wildly ineffective as the year goes on.

He didn't make any of the 6 layups he took, so he should probably start there and work out

 

[buffs233]

LOB is just one of those guys who can't shoot in games until otherwise proven.

Agreed. LOB is the definition of a good shooter only in practice. When he is on the court it's 4 against 5 on offense.

 

[buffs233]

Is Nique broken? I know everyone is missing layups right now, but he has disappeared completely this season. And refs aren’t helping, but we gotta finish at the rim.

He and LOB are horrific players on offense, just terrible.

 

[Buffalo Brad]

Glad I guess I could not get out of working. ****

 

[Buffnik]

This one pisses me off. Team is schizophrenic and lacks leaders. Plus, we still only have 3 starters - KJ, TDS and LL. No one except Hadley filling the banger role (he's undersized for it) and no one stepping enough at the 2 & 3 to push TDS to the 4. Hammond is doing good things as our PG2, but I think we're too undersized to roll for most of the game with him and KJ on the court together.

 

[cnbuff410]

I am pissed, but not mad. In the beginning of the season, we knew this team will have a lot of ups and downs. Tad needs time to figure out the best configuration for this team. It takes time. Be patient.

Tad's going to have more fodder to shake things up. They played with extreme effort though. The loss that this team can't excuse is ****ing Grambling.
