Kinda can't wait until he's gone. AJ and IJ have progressed in different ways and JC isn't what he was. He can't play hard the whole game like he used to and that's probably due to cramping.

Waved bye bye to the crowd and put his hand to the ear. Zero maturity.

I endorse his behavior. Good for him. I would have done the same thing.

The Carter meltdown may have cost the team a chance down the stretch. But let's not forget the first 35 minutes -- particularly the first 15 minutes after halftime. This loss is on everyone. That was a lousy, shorthanded BG team playing with way more heart than a 23-win team until the final minutes.

This team's 6 men deep. I keep seeing posts from people who keep looking down the bench hopefully as if anybody else has provided any quality minutes. We lost two starters unexpectedly in Wilson and McDay, which obviously hurts.

This team goes where Sears, Carter, and Vander Plas takes it. It's as simple as that, and all three of them have played their asses off all year. They've played big minutes on a brutal schedule and without any of the three of them we're probably a .500 team. Carter isn't the problem.

I said it a month and change ago, but the biggest flaw in Boals so far is that outside of Sears, he's failed to bring in impact players. He's gotten way more out of guys than Saul did, but his recruiting classes haven't stepped up this year and it's left us with a very thin team. That's showing very acutely given we've played 15 games in 11 days or whatever.

I may be missing somebody, but Boals' recruits thus far are Roderick, Brown, Granger, Clayton, Ezumah, Towns, Adelodun, and Sears. And Wilson, Schmock, and Carter as grad transfers.

Outside of the grad transfers (and it's easier to hit on 23 year olds playing against 19 year olds), that's just not a good enough rate of identifying impact players.

Wasn’t much different then getting a UNS from the sidelines against CMU. Was a killer move.

Cool hot take.

I could be wrong but didn’t BRod and McDay commit while Saul was coach but agreed to stay committed once Boals got the job?

It was only McDay that did that. Roderick was one of Boals' first commits.

The story I heard is that Boals learned about his availability via his contacts at Ohio State. Reportedly OSU had him on their list of people to offer, and he was the last one cut from the list. I believe they had something like four scholarships to offer at that time, and Roderick ended up being number five. He has obviously not lived up to expectations, but maybe tonight can be the starting point of a renewed Roderick.

BRod was not committed. McDay was, but when Boals let the son of his High School coach go (did not retain him on the staff), he had to re-recruit him.

Jeff...you can't be serious? Which part do you endorse. The two technical fouls with 3:50 left that cost his team momentum and any chance to finish the comeback off with a win?

Or his pro wrestling antics with the crowd leaving the court?

If that were my kid, I would have been embarrassed. As a die-hard Ohio hoops fan, I was embarrassed. To not think of your teammates in the heat of battle and control your emotions is baffling to me for someone who is 25 years old. To battle back with a 12-0 run and piss it all away because of a selfish move is inexcusable.
