Guess how many 3s New Mexico State make today?

Maybe just maybe Teddy Allen had a great game against us and we didn’t think he would have that big of impact on the game.

Easy for Mussleman to watch film from two nights ago and see one guy single handily beat us. His came up with his strategy based of how he played against us, we came up with our based on how he played earlier this season. Allen was clearly the best player but was he so good that it requires screening and doubling every play?

Did Allen have 37 against anyone else this season? The rest of the team were pretty lousy shooters all season, but they shot lights out against us.

Dude. Allen was anything they had all year. My friends casually asked yesterday morning about them and I mentioned that literally every possible news source says they are a one-guy show. Allen was literally all they had all year.

I mentioned Hurley would obviously be doubling and tripling him all night.

We let him go for 37 without doing anything different all game.

You'd think that by, oh I don't know, Allen's 20th point the braintrust on the UConn sideline would say Gee, this guy is dropping some max artillery on us, maybe we should change things up and try to deny him access to shoot at will.

He didn't score his 20th point until there was 7 minutes left in the game. He had missed his previous 6 shots. He then missed his next 2 shots. We had cut their lead to 1 from 14 by that point.
 
Posted this in another thread:

He scored 20+ In 16 games prior to our game
Scored 30+ in 4 games
Scored 41 once this year

During a a stretch from 1/15 to 2/21 he had this crazy stretch

1/15: 41 pts
1/20: 2 pts
1/22: 26 pts
1/29: 28 pts
2/3: 22 pts
2/5: 33 pts
2/10: 20 pts
2/12: 24 pts
2/16: 20 pts
2/19: 30 pts
2/21: 19 pts

During that 11 game stretch he averaged 24.1 pts/gm if you take out the 2 point clunker it’s 26.3 pt/gm

Anyone scouting this team knew Teddy Allen and what he does he wasn’t a secret. Hurley and the staff failed miserably game planning for him

He wasn’t all they had on Thursday lmaoo. This is revisionist history. Their entire team was on one. It wasn’t just Allen. They made it possible for him to get 1v1 opportunities by hitting 77% of their looks lol

Did every report expect his teammates to shoot 7-11 from 3? This is a massive part to this puzzle that many are refusing to acknowledge. Had they short they’re percentage we still win even if Allen dropped 50.

So you’re saying our strategy was to let Allen get his and not let the other guys beat us?

Okayyyy

Please don’t share what happened in context. No doubt we need to win that game. But this idea Hurley just sat on his hands and let Allen drop 37 is false. There was much more nuance involved

No. I’m saying all of you saying we should’ve triple and double teamed him are ignoring why that maybe wasn’t possible. I’m sure their was an adjustment that would’ve worked. Double and triple teaming him while his supporting cast is knocking down shots at an almost 80% clip isn’t the move.
 
They were red hot against us but we still needed a plan B for Allen and there was none. They're cold as ice tonight but only down 4. Amazing.
 
I can’t wait to see the narrative if they actually win this game over the great Nate Mussleman. Lol

Their Whaley aka McCants is playing great this half.

After I posted this he immediately caused a jump ball oreb, drew a charge, then pump faked and drove for a dunk, then got the defensive rebound.
 
Arkansas is playing pretty poorly offensively . It's a 2 pt game now

If they win, it means you need to play all 5 on Allen and occasionally take the intentional 6 man on the court violation as well.

I am a big fan of Hurley. I think he has the potential to be a great coach in the next 5 years. But it is imperative that Hurley understands how important it is to stop the hot hand. When you are playing a team with multiple offensive weapons, you have to be careful doubling. Against Villanova, you can double a few possessions to slow down the hot hand, but you cant do it the whole game. But against a team like NMSU, they really had no other offensive threats. So yes, he has to change that philosophy...We should have never lost to Seton Hall earlier in the season because the same thing happened.

Have an ongoing text chain with my friends where we basically copy and paste your thoughts. We never do anything different to stop it. Ever.

Watching NMSU struggle was predictable. But now I'm even more mad that the Huskies couldn't beat this team. This is going to stay with me all offseason. :mad::mad::mad:

Really? You think about hoops that much?

They just took 2 more charges and missed 2 more wide open 3s. This is incredible.
 
Anyone tell Arkansas you’re not allowed to bulldoze people? Or maybe take shots besides contested deep 2’s? They are ICE cold
 
State missing a ton of open 3's tonight. Something like 11of 39 from the field.

Really horrible shooting from both teams.

When I watched a couple of games of NMS before Thursday, I did not think they had a chance at winning. The stubbornness to not double Allen was a dumb gamble. Hurley does not like to put too much attention on one player. He was probably hoping he would wear himself out and go cold. But you have to physically chill the hot hand. They are not a very good team. They did do a nice job defensively in the first half denying the handoff to Cole, but it was a team we should never have lost to.

Hurley doubled Gillespie multiple times when he tried to back RJ down.
