Buckeye Hoops playing flat

Buckeye Hoops have some issues. They are not the same team they were in the first 10 games. They are playing uninspired and will be bounced early again if they don't wake up.

Start Scott, Sibert, Ross, Thomas and Williams next game, make them play for the first 12 mins of the game atleast, if you need a sub chose from ravenel, weatherspoon or mcdonald. Gotta make the four starters excluding Thomas wake up somehow.

Favorite Buckeye: Obviously BJ Mullens

If you heard Hubert Davis at half, like him or not he is right. The offensive style is too slow and methodical for their athletes to play. Craft needs to start shooting after peeling off a screen. Buford needs to sit his ass down and put in someone else when he's not scoring. Smith Jr. is alright but I don't see what others do. He is a liability on offense and ball handling and passing is atrocious. I can go on. Alot needs to change and I can see a bench player being upset sitting and watching this crap.

There are alot of guys on this team who are liabilities on offense...this team thinks because they have some guys who are gonna make it to the league that they can beat teams on pure talent. The problem is they are way too lazy to start the game and then when they go down by 10 they try to force everything. If Buford and/or Sullinger don't shoot over 50%, this team struggles mightily (the worst part is when those guys struggle the other guys continue to feed them). Unless we get an exceptional draw in the Tourney this year we will be bounced in the first or second round. Really unfortunate to have so much young talent on the roster because they play lethargic out there. Hope they get it together in the next few games but if they don't, we are in trouble.

sullenger spends too much energy sulking instead of running down the cout. If Thad would use the bench the Bucks wouldn't be beaten down the court so much.

Shot selection is horrible.

When Smith isn't hot, what does he do? I thought Scott and Thompson were going to be big time bench players this year and maybe Scott pushing Smith out.

I am not frustrated over the loss to tsun as I have had these thoughts for several weeks now.
