How is that Trae Young's fault? If they haven't grown and gotten better it's on them and the coaching staff.

Yes. CJ has gotten better this year. Lattin never got better. Regardless, I don’t blame TY for inhibiting the development of other players.

It’s like watching a good JV team.

I don’t think his teammates like him. I don’t think they will play hard for him.

If and I say if that is true they are Stupid. Without TY this team would be going absolutely no where - probably about 5 wins. They are dumb if they feel that way.

I could almost understand this argument if Trae was a selfish player. But if you work hard to get open he WILL find you.

We played zone against West Virginia and got destroyed.

My point is, why not switch it up. Throw a 2 1 2 or something at them. Something different. Yet we still switch screens all yr long and get burned

OU “14-2” when leading at the half.

14-2? Gulp! Bad omen.

Nice mini-run to end the half. I can't remember the last time I said that....maybe December?

prob...we have been on the wrong end of the "run" for a long time:facepalm

Look how selfish everyone is. Either James or McGusty was in the paint and Man c had just hit a three. He was wide open, night pass. No way they didn’t see him.

This team is selfish and immature and Trae leads the way in that category.

Lots of talent but 1-9 is unacceptable.

 

[opsooner]

Stats are pretty even in all categories. Glad to lead by 7. Hope we see a few more shots fall in the second half.

Trae is incredibly selfish. He makes passes that make him look good. He Is an amazing talent but don’t confuse his talent for a mature basketball player.

Those 24 plus three point attempts are selfish. If you shoot that, you better hit it and you damn sure Bette hit it a lot higher than20%.

Ridiculous statement. Trae is not the least bit selfish.

There is no doubt this team has some chemistry issues. Which is particularly devastating in Lon's offense which allows players create their own offense. While there has been a lot of angst directed at Lon lately (not saying it isn't deserved) there isn't much he can do at this point but to let the season play out. If his offense relied more on a system, he could plug in other players to try to correct the chemistry issue.

I can agree that he has forced some shots but where do you get 24+ 3pt attempts? He is 1-6.

Does Trae make high difficulty passes? Yes, but he also makes tons of simple passes that should lead to buckets but often don't. I don't know what game you're watching, but you have no idea what you're talking about.

I know basketball. He is an incredible talent and an inspiration ncredible immature player.

Yeah, he leads the nation in assists on a team where nobody can shoot. So immature. :facepalm

Maybe not on offense (though he doesn't HAVE to shoot from so far out), but it could be argued that his effort on defense is selfish
