Jamison and Pratt are a combined 3 of 19. That's a good place to start with our issues.

In the "old days", I think that a trip to the bench may have served the purpose. In this new age of NIL and transfer portal where the coaches have to re-recruit their players each year, this type of discipline may be more difficult to pull off without needing to recruit a starter for next year. (I'm not saying that is the case, just wondering out quiet) There’s not anyone on this team that can’t be replaced. Ej should have been sat 3 techs ago. Thought he turned a corner when he played well against trey Calvin but he’s slipped back into the old bad habits. The fact we freeze Kp and Pratt out of the offense so much is baffling As I tried to insinuate in the initial post, I'm not saying that doing nothing is the correct thing to do. I'm merely wondering if NIL/transfer portal have played a part into the disciplining, or lack of disciplining of players. I don't know. I agree that EJ has been an attitude issue for some time. The team, outside of BJ, seem to have a Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde personality. KP looks to have lost his confidence. Pratt isn't hitting many of the shots he was during his hot streak. Of course, we're trash on the road too, as our 3-8 record would indicate.

We got the momentum. They are taking bad shots for some reason, and we are taking good ones. You can feel the shift.

Proud of Gelo. Always does stuff when he gets a chance.

Among the hardest words to type are these: we are not a good team.

Among the hardest words to type are these: we are not a good team. Very tough to admit as we were supposed to be better than last year. Going to learn to never believe what people are saying before a season starts again.

Well, that was embarrassing. There are a lot of reasons we lost the game. Here is the big one to me:
Jamison: 1/9 shooting Pratt: 3/11 shooting
Fields + Wilson: 2/4 shooting
This all jump shot offense is what made this team one of the worst in the country in November in December. We need to incorporate our bigs (especially Faizon) into the game. Faizon has been (along with BJ) our best player lately. He may miss a few bunnies, but EJ has missed everything lately, and Pratt hasn’t been much better.

The talent is there, the chemistry is missing.
