Time to go to Dixon and find somebody that can/wants to play. I believe David Lucas was found there. Does Dixon even allow basketball right now? Don't think two people touching the same object is allowed there right now. (I'm kidding... mostly...)

The team gets called out as soft in the paper, proceeds to give the best supporting game argument for said softness. Speaks very poorly if this locker room.

Yeah... wow!
So you lose by 25, give up 15 3's, score only 59, to a team that's 1-11 in Pac12 play, was on 10 game losing streak?
Oh, a road game, at altitude, players not listening, no leaders, only year 8 (and is it 32 games under .500 in league play?), and ??
Transfers are common place nowadays, but what's the over under for the potential exodus after this season?
Losing (5) seniors, rumor says Hunt. That's 5-6 of 15. Another 2 never/hardly see the floor... Hobson, Johnson. Marial didn't play.
Guesses on who stays? Lucas Akanno Rand Williams Johnson Hobson Marial Davis Taylor Jr Hunt
Knowing the past recruiting level, that's not a promising group!

Glad I did not follow this game. Embarrassing. Hard to pinpoint the problem except to say it is internal. The transfers likely will all be gone. The Coach took these guys. As was said we are not a hotbed of basketball. Many opinions some not very nice or very smart. Let’s just say we will have our worst year ever. From elite 8, which I loved, to a case study. It is obvious some fo not care or play for each other. I feel sorry for Cizches who never saw this coming. If it could be fixed it would have. Tuned out selfish kids that care only about themselves. Well at least baseball soon. See You in surprise after valentines. Fitting.

Lucas Akanno Rand Williams Johnson Hobson Marial Davis Taylor Jr Hunt Knowing the past recruiting level, that's not a promising group! Do we want any of them to stay? lol. I'm genuinely curious what WT saw in someone like Williams. He's a career 44% FT shooter. He's 3-20 in 3's. I haven't been wowed by anything defensively when I've watched. Not sure what he brings to the table? Reminds me of my high school baseball career. I used to joke that I was a 1 tool player (or just a tool) - I was fast. Steal bases, cover some ground in the OF. Couldn't hit worth %&$#. Had a noodle arm. On top of the glaring lack of any chemistry or fight, I feel like we have an entire roster of 1 tool players. Lucas can shoot 3's, can't play D.. Alatishe is athletic.. can't shoot. Davis can pass, can't shoot. Rand has hops, can block a few shots, not going to be a big rebounder at 185 lbs. Silva can take up space and make a layup but he's a glacier. Calloo? I have no idea - he's shooting 30% on the year and even less on 2's. Can't shoot, doesn't rebound or play D.. not athletic. What a dumpster fire.

Things could be really bad or maybe the poster who seemed to be arguing early in the season that the Beavs strength of schedule was the real culprit was correct.

Like playing any D1 team with a pulse? I think an earlier poster may have been right. The season was doomed when WT didn't have to assure fans they wouldn't finish 12th! But, anybody who thought this roster was good for enough to finish 4th was ______. The fact that the media picked this team 4th had to be more of a public reward for the E8 run. There's no way a basketball fan who saw returners and recruiting throughout the entire Pac12 could put OSU that high. But...

Preseason polls tell even less now days with the portal in play. I think the only given this year was that UCLA would be good, but I don't think anyone thought that Arizona would be that good.

If some players are causing issues then dismiss them from the program. I don't care how good they are because the bad things always are worse than the good things. The transfer portal will have a number of Beavers on it if this stays a dumpster fire.

Problem is if the better* ones leave. *one trick pony or not, we do have better ones 😏

He has some potential and I would like to see him playing ahead of some of these transfers so he could develop.

Franklin, Silver, Tucker world of all helped this season. All made key contributions late in the season. I'm going to guess Johnson won't stick around. If Hunt transfers/doesn't return to hoops I believe that Lucas is the lone HS recruit left for the past 3+ seasons!

We know WT is safe this year, imo the big question is if next season is another dumpster fire will he survive? I would like to think he would be fired, but nothing would surprise me. WT is the Michael Meyers of college basketball coaches...the ultimate survivor.
