What a stupid comment. First I might have said it a couple of games when it was a particular issue in games. And next, you think there is a bigger factor today then missing a huge percentage of 3's? Open your eyes. How is that a stupid comment? We literally settle from three. We aren't even trying to run an offense. That's not a problem for you? It's stupid because nothing in basketball is more important than making shots. When you miss a huge % of the most valuable shot there is, and the one you are relying the most on (for whatever reason), then it's obviously a huge problem.

Marcus can't shoot from 3 any more, and knocks people over every time he goes down low. How is this the staff's fault? Players consistently get worse under this guy. DerrIckson is just the latest. Bingo. Starting to think guys like Burke, Johnson and Brennan were the brains behind the operation.

Peak has gotten better. Govan. Hayes until this year. DSR. Sometimes it is on the player. I am not defending the bad job putting this team together. But the fact that Derrickson bricks every shot is not on the coach.

JT3's huddles include such things as "gotta make the hustle plays", "gotta get the rebounds", etc... AT THIS STAGE OF THE SEASON!!! He is 1/4 coach and 3/4 motivational speaker

At some point this late in the season there is nowhere else to look but at the coach. Mental mistakes, lack of any cohesiveness on the floor, players playing out of control and the inability to shoot or defend. It's either lack of talent, lack of development or lack of composure.

Agau passed up a 15 footer for that BS 3 by MD He won't shoot a midrange J. Mind blowing..... he shouldn't be shooting anything outside the paint. he is a decent post player and good rebounder. just do that

So jealous of a coach who fires up his players... McDermott makes $1 million a year, according to USA Today.

Yes I said it. GU should be the best team in the BE - 2nd at the very least. But SHOULDs don't mean anything if you can't defend. This is just laughable. Nothing about this team says it should be anywhere close to the top 2 teams in the conference. You forgot to preface that with the words, In my humble opinion...

I think PE Jr should run the huddles.

Literally every game you remark on our a three percentage as the single biggest factor in our losses. Sure it's a problem, but there are tons of teams that win games shooting poorly for three. That's generally because they can rely on other aspects to win. We can't. We have much bigger problems than just missing threes. But it's killing us today I can sense the sarcasm coming through

Players consistently get worse under this guy. DerrIckson is just the latest. Peak has gotten better. Govan. Hayes until this year. DSR. Sometimes it is on the player. I am not defending the bad job putting this team together. But the fact that Derrickson bricks every shot is not on the coach. The fact that he's allowed to stand out behind the three point line and heave up prayers - and still gets playing time? That's on the coach. A better coach (even just a kind of good coach) would figure out how to properly use a player like MD.

Mulmore slow on the slide, then fouls their best foul shooter.

I don't disagree - we would be better off trying Trey, he literally could not be any worse.

LJ Peak is having another monster game.
Govan has struggled, but he is still the 3rd leading scorer today Can't see the team making a run with him on the bench.

How is that a stupid comment? We literally settle from three. We aren't even trying to run an offense. That's not a problem for you? It's stupid because nothing in basketball is more important than making shots. When you miss a huge % of the most valuable shot there is, and the one you are relying the most on (for whatever reason), then it's obviously a huge problem. Of course making shots wins games. As others have noted, when the three isn't working STOP SHOOTING IT. There is no reason to just be heaving like we are. Most of these shots aren't good open threes that just aren't falling, we are chucking them up and then saying "Oh well." The "for whatever reason" is because we have no offensive scheme. That's a much bigger problem than just missing threes

Hoping to shoot lights out from 3 to stay in games isn't a coaching strategy. It's a prayer. And on days when you're this cold, prepare the team to score another way.

We're the #3 team of P5 conferences in getting to the line...we typically are better at not being a 3pt shooting team.

I realize Ike stunk this year but right now I'd take him over MD or Johnson.
