The only explanation

I think I know why JBo and Connor are starters and get so many minutes.

In practice, Connor can easily score on Bohannon and JBo makes 9 theees on him.

Just kidding. We all know it’s nepotism and blind loyalty to a senior who is the leading 3 point shooter even tho he can’t play a lick of defense.

Its so sad that you can point to each loss and the most common denominator is Frans reluctance to pull Jordan....hey., he had 18 points tonight, but man that defensive intensity was trash...

I don't give a crap who starts and who plays what minutes.... but when your 'deeper' bench [Perkins, Ulis, et al] is the reason you win the game 2 nights ago, yet you completely forget about them until you need to "D up" at the end is just wth!?

Your starters obtain an 11-pt lead, but then play bad offense as well as (the usual) bad defense, and you don't call a timeout to rip into them and sub in JT/Perkins to spark some defensive intensity??

I'm not blaming the whole loss on Fran, but he gets a big percentage of it just by the lack of actual in-game coaching tonight. Could have used a TO during OSU's run to erase the 11-pt lead, but nope.
