I get it. But hear me out. If we had kept on playing at the 13 minute mark instead of milking the clock, I contend the lead would have, at minimum, stayed at 18-20. But of course we didn't. And then we began to foul on every defensive possession, which helped them narrow the lead initially. I do know that they are a tough team. And AJ is a player. But in my opinion this game was a double digit game.
Bad gameplan - we slowed it down, they then pressed to counter, it threw us for a loop, walked us right into a very different pace that played into what they wanted to do and us out of. Not sure why Hurley plays not to lose at that point. We see it flop time and time again.
Can anyone explain to me why we stopped feeding Tarris in the 2nd half? BYU had no answer for him.
No idea - none.
A fourth option off the bench if doesn't start producing.
This is the MOST IMPORTANT part of the Huskies schedule. This is a chance to beat P4 programs. I really don't get excited about Seton Hall, Xavier, DePaul and even GTown. Just beat the P4s.
Do you remember Gtown last year? This is the hoops equivalent of playing prevent defense in football. It's basically an invitation to come back.
On Ross/Mullins and your point of Mullins being more of a 2G. I can see a VERY interesting lineup when Mullins is back by putting him at the 2 and Ross at the 3. Alongside Demary, you'd easily have your best defensive lineup 1-3.
Real time, I thought he took a bunch of extra steps. I replayed it and wondered how the refs didn't catch that. It was pretty obvious. Then again, they didn't seem to see any of the off arm push-offs throughout most of that second half.
Reminds me of Groff and Zulick
THIS! He pushed off on almost every shot. I was yelling at the screen.
Why are you questioning and acting like you know more than the coaching staff?
Bumped it to the app
They were looking for him. He wasn't getting good position the last 10 minutes.
I also think most of the team doesn't do a good job with entry passes. Tarris also needs to make himself available better. Probably some of both was the issue but I noticed a lot of the former.
Would agree on that. He needs to flash and be in sync with the entry passer more consistently, also have some intention on what he wants to do faster so that the double team doesn't collapse. He had one great move around BYU where he spun right on entry underneath for an easy layup. Need more of that.
A thing to consider, and this thing is often not spoken of enough in these sorts of discussion, is what happens in practice the rest of the week.
You find it tedious. I find it all very entertaining. HW is unable to help himself and people responding to him have the same problem. It's not like what any of us say is going to influence any outcome for the team. So why is this happening?
I simply said let’s see how the team does over the next 5 games, our toughest stretch of the season. I didn’t mention winning or losing so not sure where that came from. For instance, we easily handled MSU and I saw that they beat Kentucky soundly a few days ago. Last night Duke won over Kansas. I am curious to see how we fair against our
Feels like everyone on here finds someone they like to target and spar with - I know my bro Inyatkin loves to come at me, like I've been imprinted on his targeting. Warms me on the inside.
