Cowboys in the NIT

[Popoke]

This was the most pathetic showing of the year. Bringing the suspended guys back was a mistake and we'd have been better off giving those minutes to Guetta, Crotty, and Cole. Anthony Roy really left a bad taste in my mouth with his lazy hero ball crap.

Lutz has one year to show that he's not the reason this team looked so poorly coached, and he better take a hard look at his returning roster. Who do we realistically want back? Clary, Miller, Vuk, and the freshman bigs? Do Crotty and Guetta really look like Big 12 players?

I thought the same thing regarding playing time last night. VJ Miller was the worst culprit, he absolutely seemed to be playing for himself, forcing up shots, and not giving a lot of effort. Crotty and Guetta absolutely would have played team first basketball and gave more effort and energy. When the game was getting away last night, Lutz didn't pivot when he should have and we ended up getting blown out.

Personally for me, Ahmed is the only priority to bring back. I like Clary, but he's undersized, isn't always a good decision maker, and he's not a good defender. Clary would be a good six man on a tourney team. Vuk based on his one year improvement and Ragland as a project would be okay, but neither are great rim protectors and that's what this roster missed the most this year. The rest of the roster is easily replaceable in my opinion.
