It just freakin sucks cause it felt so awesome to actually have a decent team going into March. Now we have to wait 2 weeks and pray we don't get upset in the first round. Don't give me the "well we didn't expect much from this team", that was before we knew KBD was player of the year and Jackson became a 40% 3pt shooter.

I'm terrified of the roster next year. I expect Kaleb to be a 15 ppg player but I can't imagine Andre Wesson having to carry a significant amount of the offensive load with CJ Jackson

We have significantly more talent this year than the 17-15 team due to the addition of KBD

Well all I can say is that if you lose to the same team 3 times in the same season there is something going on with the coaching staff and getting the players prepared for the task at hand. Yeah the refs were pretty darn shitty but you will have that in tournament games like this. It’s march basketball. But there is no excuse for a few things that I seen tonight: the first thing Is that C.J. Jackson is clearly afraid to take wide open shots and when he doesn’t he tries to force passes into players with like 3 seconds on the shot clock. I thought when we tried to play the wind down the clock game we started stalling in our offense which led to bad shots and rebound outs that led to penn state going down the court and having free reign of options to score mostly easy points. Also holtman needs to become a way better late game coach and learn to make adjustments more easily on the fly during tough games. This damn team had our number all season and it finally ended the way I thought it would with missed free throw after free throw followed by shitty defense and drastic over plays that led to easy dunks and lay ups and fouls within ten feet of bucket. Overall I was very disappointed to see how this game ended and how it was played and moreover coached by holtman and his crew. I think chambers just may be a better coach overall than holtman is but I may be wrong since we have been playing with a team of overachievers with no bench whatsoever and only two defensive minded players with one of them sitting the bench most of the time in Andre Wesson. I wish he would look to score more because he could become a matchup nightmare with some confidence. Well another game another pathetic loss that shouldn’t have happened. Imagine that. Go bucks

And one last thing, I really don’t think that Keita leaving is a done deal yet because he definitely needs to be more physical or he will be eaten alive at the next level where the grown men play. And he’s also to timid at times and looks like he doesn’t want to shoot the Ball. I don’t know just sucks oh well

For those who say "well we weren't expected to be that good". We have the B1G POY and a 2nd team B1G player, plus a kid on the All-Freshman team.

What there might be 2-4 teams in the B1G who had more talent? At least in the starting 5
