This team gets smoked in the 2nd half because we have NO bench.
Grooms, Clark, Pledger, Osby each played 35+ mins.

That would make sense in the last 5-10 minutes of the game, but not right from the start of the second half.

Another stomach punch. This season has pained me as much as the previous 2.

It's all Capel's fault.

It is all Capels fault. He took a top 25 program and after 5 years it's a bottom 100 program. He missed on so many recruits and had to take players like a few on the roster to fill out a complete team. We have about 5 players who should be on a BCS school roster. That's it. Only Osby is a starter for some bcs teams and he couldn't start at MSU.

I don't think Kruger is without some fault but very little. It is what it is and in a few years we will be much better off.

The problem with this team is the same as we always really thought it was since Newell was kicked off. They can't win any games with only one guard playing consistent ball. We need Clark to be a consistent contributor next year and a newcomer to score some on offense.

Clark is tweener player who has shown nothing other then a overhyped recruiting ranking.
Clark is going to be one of those players who through their whole career people will still be waiting for him to have his break game......For some reason people will never give up hope.
The one player I cant understand is osby , he wants to hang outside , great offensive rebounder......... But does he have any post moves?
Steven would be a great 6th man , and grooms may be the worst finisher out any starting pg in the country.
Fitzgerald is a solid player , hes the one bright spot and plays beyond his natural abilities alot of night.
To me we could lose every player on this roster , bring in 14 Jucos and win just as many games next year......that's who bad our talent level sucks.

Osby is our best player, but I think he would be better at the 3. I also think its obvious he was not the best player our team faced last season, and that's not a knock on Ro because he is a good player. Just out of position, IMO.

Fitzgerald has a great offensive game and can score very good. He is almost a guaranteed 12-14 point average and can score over 20 some nights. He is the most consistent scorer. His defense and rebounding is not very good, which is bad for a big.

Pledger has a fantastic stroke, but ballhandling and defense are weaknesses.

Grooms can handle the ball but can't score to save his life.

Clark can dunk, and plays good defense, but is not aggressive thou I thought he looked better tonight until things started going south.

Ro is nowhere close to being a college 3. That is crazy.

Well, BoulderSooner told us at least 20 times Ro would be playing the 2 this year.

Notice BoulderSooner has been very quiet...
