This really sounds different than Les’s tweet.
Exactly. Thank you for pointing out. I deleted mine. How the hell is Les Johns still reporting for us?

I see what you're saying but at the end of the day a road loss is a road loss. I guess it makes us feel a little better to say we were ahead at the half. It defies logic that a team can be that bad consistently in the 2nd half and let the home team just blow them outBut it’s not a home-road thing. It’s a road second half thing. The home team starts to play harder and we just disintegrate.
You might be too even keeled for this board.These last two games have just ripped our hearts out... I can only imagine how the team and coaches feel, and they're hurting 100 times more than us. I LOVE this team and Coach. It's amazing to me that Coach Forbes is able to not only get talented players but dudes that are just such nice guys. They all seem to gel and get along. That has been consistent since Forbes has arrived on campus. They are a lot of fun to watch (except on the road) and are right there for the tourney but then fall a game short. We need some magic!
I wish Coach had answers for the collapses but it's just damn hard to win away games. Now, the pressure just seems too immense. Guys are playing too tight forcing action and trying their best to make plays on D but are losing discipline and not maintaining their assignments...
Another factor on the road for all are the refs. Just look at tonight, the refs get caught up in the emotion and played a big part in the swing of the game. Not saying we lost due to them, but they put us in a much deeper hole. The missed an obvious tech on VT's coach and then give T to Efton, at a key point in the game. I would have hoped they would shown the same patience to both teams. But, they follow it up with the travel call on a 3 point play. And, it's game over.
I'm not giving up hope as I know these guys can play with anyone, but we need to find that next gear and they need to pull together, not apart.

Have you met the boomer crowd that pays for his content?
I wish Forbes would anticipate the other coach making half time adjustments when we did so well in the first half. Do exactly opposite of what was working in the first half. Catch them off balance in their adjustments for the first 3 minutes and see what happens.These last two games have just ripped our hearts out...

Worth a shot. Do something totally different; come out in a zone, come out pressing, do something to jolt the guys out of their start-of-the-second-half lull/mental lockdown.I wish Forbes would anticipate the other coach making half time adjustments when we did so well in the first half.

Pretty much the entire board 😂did anyone say like "hey, we are 9 of 10 from three and that may not last so let's try something else and go back to the threes later if they are open."
Forbes: "I'm at a loss as to what happens after half time."
As thin as this teams depth is, it’s odd he stopped playing a couple of guys.I hope Damari didn’t aggravate his injury, but that would at least explain his frustration. On the other hand, if selfishness and self-absorption got him benched, then he really boned Marion into minutes that he isn’t ready for today
