Feels like 4 on 5 basketball when..

[ottoman89]

I don't know why, and it's not just because of this frustrating loss, but it feels like when Oglesby is in the game, it's 4 on 5 basketball. He's constantly passing up open, good lucks and just passes the ball away.

I can't imagine this is Frans plan for a kid who was one hell of a High School shooter. Great heart, great work ethic, and very solid Defender. But, it just feels like 4 on 5 basketball when we're on Offense with him.

Sorry, just a random thought.

You mean 3 on 5, Gesell doesn't do anything either

 

[brozley]

Amazing to watch a B10 with only two guys (Jok and Uthoff) that will take wide open 3's.
its hard to watch.

 

[ottoman89]

I wouldn't even call most of Uthoff and Joks 3's wide open. Jok hit a couple tonight off the dribble on a step back. A real thing of beauty.

If we had an average pg we'd be a decent team

Agreed. If he has lost THAT much confidence...

JO's minutes should be a fireable offense.

I thought you really liked Mike. What happened.

We are decent, what we want is to be good.

And even they passed up a couple a piece this game.

 

[Sooby]

Minnesota shut down Jok in the 2nd half, and we seemed to have no answer to get him open looks.

Too much dribbling on offense, lazy passes, not enough use of sets, didn’t attack mismatches, didn’t crash boards, posts didn’t establish position. It’s like all of a sudden we think were an nba team that can post 15 feet from the basket and take contested jumpers all game.

Also, that’s as disinterested as I’ve seen White in awhile.

Too much dribbling for sure.

Eh, we're good. Just not great. Of course I'm opening up an argument about semantics that I really don't want to have after the derpy "we just lost and I'm sad" posters are flooding the site.

I understand Fran wanting to give A player a chance to play out of a slump, but when that player has "slumped" his entire career and refuses to take the chances he gets he has to hang it up.

We are in agreement. Tough loss tonight with a below avg performance. Next game will tell us a lot. I'm nervous mostly because last year is still too fresh in my mind. Although I do think this team is better than last year, when playing well.

The fans were on him bad tonight. The loudest they were the whole game was when they groaned every time he passed up a shot. His last shot he passed up might have been the end of the Oglesby experiment for Fran. Fran wasn't happy.

There have been plenty of sets called for JO out of a timeout the last few years. Many times the trigger hasn't been pulled. Big game tonight and again AW vanishes. Seniors blew it. Go Hawks

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

I feel for Oglesby. It just never came to be. I will always believe it was mental. I think he is done outside of spot minutes. Ya can't be a shooter who doesn't shoot.

An embattled Hawkeye his entire career.

Go Hawks.

I don't feel bad for him at all. He has done it to himself. His coach keeps going out of his way to help him and he refuses to help himself.
