I don’t like how many 3s the Beavs shoot…they need a slasher who can get in there and dish for 3s that are within the flow of the game rather than forced.
I was saying it was pointless to bring it up. He plays McShane and starts Brandt. There was just no reason to even think of it. He’s not John Thompson.
Our best player plays too passively, because;
Our offensive system is a passive piece of shit that make us shoot horrible jumpers.
Our 2nd best offensive player just jacks up bad jumpers all game.
Our defense doesn’t box out for rebounds, and thus TOWSON is kicking our asses on the boards.
This is so painful sometimes. We’d be down 10 if Towson were a real team.
Roberto is by FAR the best player on the court right now. He is carrying the offense, attacking the zone and taking good shots. He also caused that steal last possession.
And I wouldn’t even let Collier or Moreland practice. They get to shoot FTs for 3 hours a day instead.
We replaced Starks’ possessions with Roberto, and we were about +14. Then Starks comes back in, and our offense dies again.
This is why Starks was not projected as a starter, Roberto was.
And Burton still contributes nothing. He doesn’t rebound, doesn’t play D, doesn’t have any real offense, and tries to make too many pretty passes instead of easy ones(that last hook pass, for example, when there were two men open outside instead). Replace Burton and Starks with Roberto and anyone, and we’re 10x more productive.
Do you think Roberto should become the starting PG? Starks has open looks, he just can’t hit with any consistency. Burton still can’t shake some of his bad habits.
Really hoping for Roberto to have a break-out game today to get his confidence flowing. He came in and broke that zone open. He’s also playing well on defense and is alert. Poor kid has had some hard luck in the last few years and it’s about time for things to start going right for him for a change!
Offensively things are fine. Rebounding is the thing that needs to be worked on. The lack of effort on the glass is not acceptable. Real lazy and not boxing out. This will undoubtedly improve, IMO. Craig will work on it and things will get better in that department. Other than that things are fine.
Yup, kind of shocked at the lack of effort on the boards…man to man was supposed to help with that. Offense much better in the second half. Kind of sluggish, but it’s been a long road trip.
You guys are tough. They’re winning by 20, and last year’s team would have lost this game by 20. Overall good, but need to improve rebounds and free throws (Collier is horrible at FTs).
I’m fine with today, aside from the rebounds and free throws by Collier as you mentioned. The team is good. Can’t play great every game and they’ve been on the road for over a week. Things were bound to be a little sluggish today. I didn’t expect some 40 point win. Plus, Obama is there, Towson was gonna play their asses off. I like this squad.
Nelson’s been really good today, Burton continues to improve (where’d his 3point shot come from??), and Barton looked confident/good. I don’t understand why Collier or Moreland can’t make FTs…both guys have good shots.
I don’t know, but they need to improve fast. They both are going to get a lot of opportunities with how live they are around the basket. Could become an achilles heel for this team in games that count.
Roberto playing better has a lot to do with health. His ankle has been a problem and he didn’t trust his ankle. Now he seems to be trusting the ankle and is back to just playing ball.
Vs. Texas he was attacking continually, especially off pick-and-rolls with Burton. When he has to just sit on the outside in the stupid Princeton offense, he loses most of his effectiveness.
GO BEAVS!!!
Stream of radio broadcast?
It’s on ESPN3.
We don’t believe in layups, btw.
I don’t like how many 3s the Beavs shoot…they need a slasher who can get in there and dish for 3s that are within the flow of the game rather than forced.
Starks and Jared both could, but Jared is playing passively, and Starks would rather dribble around and then jack up 3s. Fucking playground baller.
I hate how they don’t do the “penetrate/kick out”, isn’t that a staple?
They’re running a zone, and we refuse to attack it.
Collier makes 1 of 2 free throws every time…
Hopefully the Beavs don’t get into trying to show off for the Prez and national TV.
Starks is casting off again.
If they do get into a “show off” mode it’s up to CR to get them under control.
We’re shooting like CRAP right now, but we’re so much more talented we should coast to a win anyway.
That dunk was badass.
I like how he had someone ahead of him, and refused to pass it because he wanted the dunk.
Looks like pro-DC/politician refs–horrible charge call…horrible. The defender was still moving.
Best start Towson has had in all 5 games (4 losses)
A Pac-12 team came to Towson and the president is in attendance. They were gonna come out fired up ready to go. The Beavers will take over soon.
Which Beaver was that foul on?
Never mind. I see McShane is in so it must have been Brandt
Starks casts off again. Is CR doing his job?
Get Moreland in this game and go inside to him…Jeez
Moreland is going to have to improve is foul shooting or at some point it become a liability in league play.
Craig and the boys better get their zone offense figured out, they will be seeing a lot of it. Couldn’t Murphy be of help here?
I’m beginning to wonder if Murphy isn’t in there because he isn’t black. bwdik
That is stupid. Once you bring race into the discussion I can’t take you seriously.
Why? Are you saying that a black coach can’t be as prejudice as a white coach?
I was saying it was pointless to bring it up. He plays McShane and starts Brandt. There was just no reason to even think of it. He’s not John Thompson.
Fair enough.
Sure as hell I mention the race issue and Murphy is in there. hahahaha
Sorry CR I was just wondering, I didn’t mean it.
They’re getting way too many O Boards
Both posts have travelled. The two times we’ve thrown it inside this game.
But hey, their zone is “Making” us shoot outside shots. See, normally we LOVE to attack, but this zone is making us shoot stupid 22 foot jumpers.
/sarcasm. God I hate Princeton.
Murphy not McShane! I hope he can take advantage of the opportunity.
Roberto comes in and FIRST PLAY, attack and kick it inside for an easy shot.
Thank god.
Burton, Moreland, and Murphy, and NOBODY boxes out. Offensive rebound Towson. Pathetic.
Unfortunately it wasn’t any better when Brandt and Burton were in there.
This team is driving me fucking crazy right now:
Our best player plays too passively, because;
Our offensive system is a passive piece of shit that make us shoot horrible jumpers.
Our 2nd best offensive player just jacks up bad jumpers all game.
Our defense doesn’t box out for rebounds, and thus TOWSON is kicking our asses on the boards.
This is so painful sometimes. We’d be down 10 if Towson were a real team.
Anyone know of a link to the game? No ESPN 3 access here.
THEY get offensive rebounds and we don’t. Hummmm
We never ever box out. Our guys just watch the ball land.
Their players last name is really Flash???
Roberto is by FAR the best player on the court right now. He is carrying the offense, attacking the zone and taking good shots. He also caused that steal last possession.
And I wouldn’t even let Collier or Moreland practice. They get to shoot FTs for 3 hours a day instead.
BDC better not schedule the Towson football team in a non-con game!
Roberto dices the zone up again.
Rebounding is 19-7 them. Just pathetic.
I like this analyst, I can picture him with a little flask underneath the table.
LOL
Is Roberto finally getting comfortable playing for OSU? I sure hope so.
We replaced Starks’ possessions with Roberto, and we were about +14. Then Starks comes back in, and our offense dies again.

Jared should be the starting PG, and Roberto the 2. Jared is a better creator than Starks.
That was a godawful half of basketball.
They don’t play like a well coached team. Same concerns as last year. Lacking on fundamentals, discipline, etc.
Yeah, okay.
Really hoping for Roberto to have a break-out game today to get his confidence flowing. He came in and broke that zone open. He’s also playing well on defense and is alert. Poor kid has had some hard luck in the last few years and it’s about time for things to start going right for him for a change!
I like how Roberto came in and basically was saying “I’m not putting up with this mid-major bullshit”, this is how you play.
Whether you like the guy or not, that’s pretty cool that the president is at the game watching our team.
Burton had an EASY layup, and he shot that stupid ass hookshot instead. I hate that guy.
Judging by the commentary, we must be down by 25-30 points.
Is this just pre-kvetching because of the Civil War?
Imo if the team plays, like they played in the 1st half, against a Pac-12 opponent they would be down by 25-30 points.
Agreed with the commentator. Terrible crosscourt pass by burton.
More and more rebounds. Burton is worthless on the boards, and Brandt isn’t doing any better.
Probably a result of playing shitty zone D for 3 years; not used to boxing out.
Offensively things are fine. Rebounding is the thing that needs to be worked on. The lack of effort on the glass is not acceptable. Real lazy and not boxing out. This will undoubtedly improve, IMO. Craig will work on it and things will get better in that department. Other than that things are fine.

ALL BALL.
Horrid fucking call. Homers.
That little AI just went AI. Nice early-in-the-clock LONG 3, Starks.

Glad to see the improvement on defense in the paint.
score please?
55-36 OSU, 9’00” in the second.
55-36 OSU. 8:44 left in the game.
thanks to you both
56-36 Beavers
Roberto is getting healthier and playing some good ball now.
Did you hear that from the announcer: “They’re an NCAA team.” I love hearing that and boy do I hope he’s right.
Roberto with the gorgeous laser pass to Burton for an easy layup, then attacks the basket and draws a foul. Playing better than he has all season.
Roberto playing better has a lot to do with health. His ankle has been a problem and he didn’t trust his ankle. Now he seems to be trusting the ankle and is back to just playing ball.
Civil War getting ready to kick off. I’m going to move this thread down.
Noooooooo, I don’t want a football thread, I don’t want to face reality today!
Looks to me like Roberto is ready for a starting role.
Your team is down almost 30, but go ahead and celebrate you douchebag.
And these announcers are just insane. Complete homer assholes.
Cunningham is streaky…couple bad games in a row now. You don’t know which version you’ll get on any given day…
Time for CR to substitute, the guys out there have lost some focus.
Vs. Texas he was attacking continually, especially off pick-and-rolls with Burton. When he has to just sit on the outside in the stupid Princeton offense, he loses most of his effectiveness.
He does this every year, nothing new, I was just hoping he’d improve consistency this year.

Beavers win 66-46. Now 5-1 on the year. Great start to the season.
