Hoiberg experiment

Verge isn't the guy who want to facilitate an offense. But most of the shooters have been festering asshole all year and none of them give a shit about defense.

Fun pieces for next year though
Haven't watched a single minute yet so fill me in... Is it the coach or players? I know you were excited about this team.

There is a circle drawn around Lincoln that when crossed very good men’s basketball players become very bad. It’s the only explanation I can come up with.

There’s no other explanation for being as bad as we are at shooting. No offense is going to work when you shoot something like 23% from the 3.

The talent on the team is exciting, but they haven't put it together for whatever reason. Defensive effort is abysmal at times and that's on both the coaches and the players. Very early in the season some defensive rotation fuck ups are easy to attribute to chemistry, but we're beyond that points.

The offense has also been pretty disjointed and their assist numbers are terrible. It's no great surprise they're shooting like ass as a team because they don't move the ball which leads to an excessive number of yeets from way downtown. Verge seems content to be an empty calories, good stats, bad team guy instead of a guy who facilitates an actual offense. Bryce has been fine, but honestly, I'd like to see him be on the ball more and be even more assertive because he's a more credible threat going to the rim.

Injuries and illness haven't helped and the players need to do more, but it's at the end of the all on Fred. He's too good of coach to have a team this fucking bad in the third year, but at some point you become what your record says you are.
