I've brought that up many times. Once a shot goes up....everyone is running back on defense.
Really? You don't know? It's have your non lethal shooters shoot 3s at will while not actually running a play.
This is an embarrassing coaching game

Yup. That's a part of their lack of tenacity.
Put the team out there and pray someone gets hot off of talent alone.

Our "non lethal" shooters are the ones making their shots.
True. “Run a different offense!” Haha
The fact he's gotten eight years shows mediocrity is accepted for Gopher basketball.

Cockburn can just go over the back when he wants to, apparently.
I think they should look to the sideline several times...that seems to help.

Gach passes up an open three to throw it away across court?
Man I wanted to give Pitino as much of a leash as possible but im losing faith. Just awful offense and questionable coaching game after game.
Illinois is more talented, but you should never have a 2-21 stretch, no matter how bad your shooting ability. That's just a bad offense getting bad shots. And why the hell are we not doubling Cockburn every time he gets the ball? Make them beat us from 3. If they do congrats to them. Better than Cockburn dominating our bigs for fouls and easy layups.

Here is the thing...
We all know this isnt a great overall shooting team. That can be surviveable if you.......can rebound.
But we don't rebound. We don't even try to rebound.

We should shoot more rushed threes. That’s our game.
It's also survivable if you run an offense that gets open shots, not jack contested threes and fade away midranges

Tonight (so far) has mirrored the extent of Richard's tenure here. Been saying the last couple years he's a nice guy we all want to root for, but he's just not good. His teams always look like minor league vs pros, regardless of talent level. We can't even get the ball into the lane uncontested but maybe 2-3 times a game, and other teams will do it multiple times in a row and for most of the game. The difference seems glaring at times.
