It isn't like we've never seen good basketball before. there are some obvious issues

True but I think these guys can get better as the season progresses to conference play. Team chemistry is vital.

This should be the key for any longsuffering Bulls BBall fan.  If we can just improve throughout the season that is progress  (especially with a key player coming back from injury and a shiny new guard at the helm).  It is also, unfortunately, very unusual at USF.  Our best seasons have been those rare occasions when it has happened.

To me it just seems that on the offense they have no system

what are they trying to do get the ball inside shoot a three or mid range jumper pick and roll I have no idea. just seems like they pass the ball around the perimeter  until the time clock is  under 10 seconds and then they take a panic shot

also it’s uncanny how they can’t finish around the rim ever

Watch Villanova play. They seem to run the same set every time down the court with Gillespie handling the ball and running down the clock. They just have better players. With more talent our system would look much better.

My point if you don’t have the players to run a certain system find a system that they can excel at and run it.

makes no sense to keep beating your head against the wall

With the 30 second shot clock the old Princeton motion offense and North Carolina's 4 corners aren't available.  Older people will know what I'm talking about.

We lost to two teams...one who could win the AAC if they were in it and another who will probably be dancing. Just relax, let’s see how this plays out with conference games. 

I agree.  Rough start to the season but we have played that look to be pretty good teams.

Its going to take time for these players to gel together.  There are some red flags though.  But lets see how the next few games play out.

I doubt anyone is saying those last two teams we played weren't decent enough. I know that I am commenting on what I am observing directly about how our team operates and needs to work on.

Some are over-reacting and making some desperate comments. But there are clearly some issues that need to be addressed. The offense looks lost out there - like they are improvising the whole game plan. We need someone to step up and be a floor general on both ends of the court.

Right now we don't look like a team that knows how to play basketball
