We’d be a hell of a lot worse without him and we will definitely miss his scoring ability, his leadership and his ability to take over a game.

The criticism of Caver is warranted. His name should be Ahmad “Can’t Finish” Caver. Hate to say it but it’s true. When the game is on the line or there is a huge moment in a game. Rarely does he finish. Just like tonight against USM

Yeah tonight may honestly have been his worst game as a monarch.

He was agitated and awful the entire game.

Made it very tough to defend him.

A point guard air balling a free throw is almost unthinkable.

I’ve seen centers do it, not sure I’ve ever seen a senior point guard do it.

The last guard I remember doing it was bazemore as a freshman because he was awkward and lanky and a terrible ft shooter.

He worked on it constantly and he’s not a 70+% ft shooter in the NBA.

It’s mind boggling how our guys are so bad at it constantly.

Absolutely is...

Wade is not even close to being an average ft shooter

Green is an average FT shooter and is the 2nd best on the team. Let that sink in.

Here's a thought...if your teams have sucked at something for 6 straight years, try something different.

People are quiet in the games where he finished strong this year, but the one in a blue moon he doesnt, for some reason he gets the criticism.

And your name should be C "bad takes" Mett. This is horribly inaccurate. Did you forget the rest of his career after one game, or is this just your way of venting - spewing false narratives?

You're the WORST kind of fan. You bash him on here, but don't have the balls to say it to his face.

You probably shouldn't use the same name as your twitter handle

Here’s to hopefully seeing a big bounce back game for Caver on Saturday down in Birmingham.

This is a discussion board for fans to discuss, vent, speculate, commiserate, give hot takes among themselves. I would certainly hope our fans are not running up to players and saying the **** that we say on this board to their faces.

It is the coaches' job to coach the players, and nobody on this board, or really anyone else, should be directly telling these kids what they need to be doing. Its like youth sports, you let the coach handle his players and keep your opinions out of it.

These players are on full scholarship and play a revenue driven major collegiate sport. They are on television, radio, etc. I’m sorry but I think basketball related criticism is completely fair. To attack a players personal character is out of bounds...definitely. But to criticize a players actions on the court or on the field of play is not out of bounds in my opinion.

And Caver has had plenty of good finishes to games in his career. I left that out.. haha. Go Monarchs
