Hurley and Creighton Game

[UCLJ0211]

It's cute the way you pretend as if being up 2 with an 80% FT shooter at the line, in the double bonus, is some hugely disadvantaged situation to be in. You've missed the point. We were still in a great position, regardless of what transpired before.

We were up 2, with RJ Cole at the line shooting 2, and fewer than 15 seconds on the clock, regardless of what happened before that, Cole needs to make at least 1 FT there, and really should be making both and sealing the win.

Our biggest lead of the game was 4 points. Blaming the loss on the events that led to us "only" being up 2 is...

Just. Dumb.

So you’re saying giving them an uncontested layup and like 3 or 4 offensive rebounds and 2nd chance possessions at the end of the game had no impact on the result?

Don't give up on this kid.

Nice to see that.

We had another poster suggest RJ missed the ft's on purpose so he could tweet about it and prove his doubters wrong in the future. This board is an insane asylum.

If he makes the free throws, he silences his doubters then and there. Why would he purposely miss, throwing doubts on his ability, and then try to rehabilitate himself in the future?

Better to tweet about your accomplishment and give credit of course to your other teammates for their contributions.

On the other hand, I cannot recall the poster or the post you are referring to.

Many fans are overeacting . We have played 4 games under unusual conditions , When things go well the fans think they are much better than they actually are . When things go bad they are not as bad as the fans think they are,. I may be wrong but I think we should all relaxand let this young team jell .

No.

But why stop with the layup and rebounds?

We also shouldn’t have spotted them a 12 point lead in the first half.

Regardless, we were up 2, with 2 free throws from an 80% shooter with under 15 on the clock.

That’s a great position to be in when you’re an unranked underdog playing a top 10 team.

This is one of the worst losses I can recall. To quote former Cardinals Coach Dennis Green (R.I.P) "They were who we thought they were. And we let 'em off the hook!"

Cole needs to realize where he's playing now and quit the hero ball. He's not the man here.
