Pokes vs. UC-Santa Barbara Game Thread

Man this is a bad shooting Wyoming team. Again. Ugh.

Nothing really stands out for this team...shooting, Rebounding, defense,...what does this team hang its hat on?

 

[ItSucksToBeACSURam]

Gonna be VERY long season if we can’t score....

Gonna be VERY long season if we can’t score....

Justin James looks good but we look undisciplined and shoot too many 3's again.

Hope we win this game but the fact we are losing at home to UCSB and they are missing their leading scorer doesn't provide much hope.

 

[jsmoke2215]

Welp, losing on your home court to one of the worst 351 teams in all of America... at least there's no getting worse from this, because this is truly rock bottom.

Every single player should be utterly humiliated right now. They should honestly consider whether they have any desire to continue the season. I hope they really consider it.

 

[ItSucksToBeACSURam]

This isn’t good... this doesn’t bode well

 

[jsmoke2215]

Oh wow.

Humiliated at home by one of the worst teams in D1 basketball without their best player.

Sorry folks. But this team is at best gutless, and at worst the most humiliating group of "athletes" in the history of this university.

See y'all next year.

 

[ItSucksToBeACSURam]

Jesus. This is awful. It’d be nice to see Edwards encourage his players instead of screaming at them...

 

[laxwyo]

Justin James drives, gets double teamed and makes a sweet pass to mueller, who should have scored but just stands there and then gets rejected

 

[Wyovanian]

They're a young team, but Edwards seems blind to what's wrong. Going to be a long season.

 

[nashvillepoke]

Garbage

 

[ItSucksToBeACSURam]

That’s a bad loss. Never been a fan of Edwards but was open to him getting another season to implement his system fully with his guys. It doesn’t look good

 

[jsmoke2215]

wow...

skull ****ed at home by one of the worst teams in all of America without their best player.


This is the kind of game where you seriously question whether the program should even exist, it brings that kind of humiliation and embarrassment to the program.

 

[Subcanis]

Same old, same old.

 

[jsmoke2215]

Hire a diversity hire and then wonder why you suck.

 

[ItSucksToBeACSURam]

Another game where we die by the three and do nothing to change it up.... good god

 

[seattlecowboy]

I have never thought Edwards was a good coach after I saw his style. His x's & O's are horrible and he may yell at his team to play defense in practice but he obviously doesn't know how to teach it or coach it because they have never been that good at it since he has been the coach. His teams always shoot too many 3's and are undisciplined turning the ball over too much.

Problem is he is going to probably get 2 more years after this because he won his 20 games the first two years he coached which was just smoke and mirrors.

 

[LanderPoke]

Man this is a bad shooting Wyoming team. Again. Ugh.

It’s incredible how bad we are at shooting. Especially when our entire offense is predicated on shooting contested, low percentage threes. How can we not get better shooters? This is going to be a painful year. Can we get a new coach?

 

[nashvillepoke]

I never thought I would miss Steve McClain, but here I am in that exact scenario. I have a real hard time understanding what Edwards is trying to accomplish on offense or defense. The rotation was 7 tonight, I dont get that either.

We were gassed halfway through the second half, how the hell does a team that plays at sea level have more energy than we do?

 

[stymeman]

Might be a looooong season, ugh

 

[FarmerPoke]

I commented in another thread that if Edwards was figuring on playing Redding and Mueller 35+ a night we are in big big trouble........
Mueller 35 minutes, Redding 34........
I honestly have zero faith in Edwards ability to put the best possible team that he can on the floor..... As others have mentioned, Edwards x's and o's are seriously middle school level.
