I may have over-reacted to 1 loss in 11 games. There's just a lot of trauma still. I stand by the fact that it is just ridiculous that Loyer and Morton are playing D1 college basketball in a power 6 conference tho. 37 wasted minutes combined between them today - they combined for 0 points (not gonna count the technical foul free throws). Heide and/or Colvin should've been developed by this point in the season to take those middle schoolers' minutes. To think Loyer is SUPPOSEDLY good enough to get 3x the minutes of Heide is hilarious. Loyer-Stan's are hilarious at this point. Loyer is not better than Heide at almost anything, Heide has athleticism plays defense and is a better shooter. Did Heide do enough in his 10 minutes to get more time going forward, Painter? "No". Like just give me the athleticism and the defense for one damn season that Zach Edey is still here - I don't care what happens - and yes we had that with Ivey back when Edey was in a time share sophomore season, but Ivey doesn't play defense like Cam. Cam is the best of both worlds and painter still wants to flop around with white guys in a 12 year olds body aka Loyer and Morton. Cam is national championship upside and it doesn't take me to see that. Loyer and Morton do not play on national championship teams anymore. In the 12 combined minutes Heide and Colvin play in most games they just have to pray to god that they get put back dunks like this game. It's asinine they do this and painter still goes back to Loyer and Morton after. Can't imagine what Heide and Colvin are thinking watching middle schoolers play all the minutes over them. Colvin prob thinks it's racism - Colvin I get tho cuz he's sucked on defense, but Heide is just ridiculous. Painter KNOWS his best line up is Heide/Gillis/Braden/Edey/Lance - and every once in a while he has admitted it. Heide and Colvin just both gotta hope they make their one 3 they get in garbage time. Meanwhile Loyer can go 1/7 and stay in. Loyer is 3/22 past 5 games no joke. And has been burned for approximately 100 points in those 5 games not exaggerating. Sorry for the rants but no one will listen to me - painter sure won't. I try to contact him via the RUclips channels but I don't think he gets on social media cuz he doesn't wanna hear about all the double digit seeds he's lost to from playing white guys in middle school bodies. Someone needs to explain to him how bad Loyer is on defense - like it's just insane.
Fun stat I heard on Sleepers. Colvin since January 1st has taken 5 3s, made all 5. Kid is 5/5 from 3 in the whopping 4 minutes of playing time her gets every 3rd game or so. Maybe the defense would improve if he got to get in the flow of the game. He comes off the bench late in 1st or 2nd half, trying to guard guys that are warmed up and in a flow. Do I think there was some flaws besides that fact, sure. Either way maybe actually playing in a game would help develop his defense. It wouldn’t be that big of a liability considering Loyer does it every game without the same upside as Colvin has athletically. And as for Heidi yea give him minutes in the flow of a game and look what happens. I am listening to ya brother. Heidi Colvin for Loyer Morton all day. Those two can help them win now and also give them the experience for next year. Makes the most sense for the program as a whole.

@@Jlaw18653 AGREED. Saw that stat as well. Meanwhile Loyer is now 3 of 25 from 3 over past several games, unreal.
