Simmons is great if we can keep him. Kelly and Kuany have shown a lot of flashes. If Elliot can stay healthy, we just need a PG next year.
Simmons is average.

Ohio could’ve shot 60 percent and still lost. We’re doing the math wrong.

Yes all we need is a PG for another fifth place conference finish!

Brian, why would you wanna run up and down the court with Miami? Slow it down and get the score in the 70s and you have a chance.

Simmons is average.
If he’s your fourth-best player, you have something. A big man who makes the offense screech to a halt, needs seven dribbles and cannot finish cannot be your second-best scorer.

We are agreeing.

We are forced into needing to create a car crash because we cannot shoot. This is a recruiting failure.

Maybe my memory is failing, but it seems he was a lot better at Toledo. Maybe it was because they had an offense scheme.

Studer is better than any player we have had other than Preston under Boals and Preston was Saul's guy. Imagine if Ipsaro was healthy. How is Steele this much better than Boals?

Going to be fun to watch Burris develope. I like that kid, A little weight and off season shooting coaching and he will be fine.

Tommy coached Suder with Team Teague in Summer ball. Had players that went to William & Mary, CMU, EKU/Wyoming on that team. Fun to watch.

Simmons seemed like a supplemental player at UT. Not a six-figure centerpiece.

Borna he can shoot, but he is definitely slow a foot

If there is an Ohio player who deserves to be frustrated and has some reasons to argue some calls is Pavs. Teams have decided to play physical defense and bully him. And he probably feels like he has to do it all with minimal help from his teammates.

Can we all agree not to let Pavs be forgotten? Dude gave his all to this program and got nothing in return.

Good sportsmanship. He commits a foul, and then extends his hand and pulls up the guy he fouled. I like that!

As I said earlier, much of the discrepancy is in three point shooting. I know one time they had eight versus our four. That is 24 points versus 12.

Tommy Schmock would love Travis Steele. This Redsqwauk team is a bunch of varied sizes of Schmock.

Agree completely. Simmons is serviceable. Keep Kelly, continue to develop Kuany and Burris. Simmons plays a role...then what???

BBIQ, strength and agility work will make up for some of those. He will be fine.I like him. From Mingo Park to the Convo. Nice, down to earth kid as well. NO drama or antics that I have seen

What has Breath contributed today?

I'd rather see Evans get 5-10 minutes instead...

Interested to see if Steele will pull a Cignetti and port over all his undergrads at a bigger program. I’d be looking to do that if I needed a coach.

Of all the times to lead off Sportscenter…

Studer is the Bennett Stirtz of 2026. Mark it.

We lose by 16. They have nine threes we have five. That is a difference of 12 points right there. As borna and I have talked about you need to guard the three and you need to make the three.it’s a much simpler game if you can do that.

And, since our defense sucks so bad they get 21 free throws to our 13. That is another eight points.
