I think he is a big disappointment. Tonight he looked like a little kid learning to play basketball. He has struggled all season shooting the ball. He should have a seat and maybe let Carpenter play a bit more. This is just my opinion.

At this point I'd rather give Bob The Builder the chance to play over Bobby as well. He has underperformed no question.

Bobby and the TEAM have work to do no doubt. You guys have made your points about Bobby and Amadi in particular all season long. At this point it's just laying it on. Mark has his 8 guys in the rotation that have won 17 games and overachieved in conference play. The team still sits in the #3 spot and has a very good shot of getting the coveted double bye. All of you guys who Monday morning quarterback every game need to lighten up on the personal critique of the same players. Neither of these guys start and depending on how things go they can play a lot or hardly at all. With the way Davidson ran a clinic on ball movement we needed all 8 guys out there. Welch did nothing all game long but picks up a few meaningless hoops at the end to fill out the box score and he played practically the whole game. Crickets from the board. Hopefully we get a win on Sat. so the bellyaching and finger pointing can subside for a while. Some teams have your number and Davidson has ours. Staying positive for the double bye.

I am with Dobber. No single player was responsible for the performance we saw last night. Lighten up on the criticism of individual players and stay positive. To do anything else is unhelpful and breeds more negative energy.

PLANUTIS needs to gain weight and add some muscle to become a consistent contributer.

PLANUTIS needs to gain weight and add some muscle to become a consistent contributer. This would definitely help but my concern is BOBBY's decision making as of late. In the past, BOBBY got more PT over JUSTIN because of better decisions on the court, but in BOBBY's last two games, he has made some cringe worthy passes. Also, BOBBY is not a shooter that can hurry his shots, which he has been doing in the last couple games.

SIP you are correct about PLANUTIS not rushing his shot.he is a flat-footed shooter who needs time to get set to shoot it. he also seems to need a bit more arch on his shot. the bad passes are a result of him losing confidence. he needs to take a step back and regroup himself.

He should just stop shooting. I’m sorry but it is a wasted possession. Maybe his shot will come back next year or something but at this point he shouldn’t be shooting unless it’s at or near the rim

my concern is BOBBY's decision making as of late. In the past, BOBBY got more PT over JUSTIN because of better decisions on the court, but in BOBBY's last two games, he has made some cringe worthy passes. Really agree with the above from Sipo. I actually think it has been more than the last 2 games. I remember Bobby softly passing a high-low pass to Osun that was easily picked off and Bobby attempting an alley-oop to Osun that was 5 five short of the basket. Here is a stat, which reflects Bobby's struggles the last 9 games. Over last 9 games Bobby has more turnovers (12) than baskets (7). In comparison Justin only once this season had a game with more turnovers than baskets. Last 9 games Bobby is playing 16.7 mpg, shooting 22.6% from the field and 13.3% from behind the arc and averaging 2.6 ppg. Last 9 games Justin is playing 24.6 mpg, shooting 47.1% from the field and 36.4% from behind the arc and averaging 11.1 ppg. During this time period, Justin even has more rebounds than Bobby 34 to 28. www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/bobby-planutis-1/gamelog/2020www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/justin-winston-1/gamelog/2020

Park Bobby P on the pine. Give Carpenter an opportunity. Can't do worse. P looked utterly lost last night.

I think Bobby hustled and he hits the offense boards well. He just hasn't proven to me to be the prolific shooter he was suppose to be. He may not be the catch and shoot guy but he needs to shoot it quicker. At times he hesitates,takes a shot then he isn't sure whether to shoot or pass and screws up his rhythm. I agree he needs more arc on his shot. I hope he finds his stroke and his shots start falling. That would give us underscoring threat.

A visit to the shot doctor, the legendary Herb Magee, would really help P. Herb is still going strong at PhilaU, now Jefferson. In his 70s he still has one of the smoothest strokes I've ever seen.

I think Schmidt has a bit of a dilemma. Justin is much better on offense, but absolutely makes me cringe on defense and rebounding at times. Plantutis has lost all confidence and on offense can predictably make a pass every time, and one that has no chance of fooling anyone. Carpenter is a pretty raw freshman. Schmidt is left without a lot of good choices. If Winston is hot, he's left in, but Schmidt gets very frustrated with the many poor decisions he makes every game. At this point, I'm wondering if Carpenter should be taking a few of each of the other's minutes.

What if Chef was still here ? Really thought he had potential to contribute. I wish he was here this season.
