.....he had an off day. As the lone senior and soul of the program, he's the clear cut best player. You live and die with him unless others step up. Jack stepped up in the first half as well as Horne and Jordy and times, but the foul trouble was eventually too much to overcome. Jordy couldn't play as physical of defense as he'd like and it cost us points in the 2nd half. That was the difference, not Tai being selfish.
An off game? His lack of team play has costed us more than one game this year. He had sev, TOs and more than half his shots were forced. Also the last few games, he has gotten frustrated about the officiating and quits playing def.. If you remember, he was on the bench when we came back against Purdue. It's all about Tai, plain and simple.
....no.
No What! Also remember he had 2 TO to cost us a game.
While I will agree Tai has some Petteway-esque head scratching plays and shots, the guy is doing so much on a nightly basis to keep this team not only in most of these games, but pulling out W's in games that look like they could have gone the other way (remember he was the catalyst in that 14-0 run to win @ Maryland?)
2nd half in general was ugly and very tough to keep consistency with Watson only available for a few mins and major foul trouble. No way is this on 1 single player and we are a much better team with Tai on the floor.
