lol - somebody's always gotta get a shot in. Never mind that we're a depleted roster.

 

[August_West]

8 more shots Rodney

Purvis.... sigh. 4 for 17 today.

 

[Silk31]

Purvis shot efficiency way down...that's what happens when Adams isn't out there

 

[JSM1970]

Brimah has 1 point, he's awful on the offensive end and puts huge pressure on other players.

He makes more bad defensive plays than good ones

Like that

Brimah is a special defensive talent. I feel bad for Brimah and Facey that coaching and guard play has let them down. They deserve better.

Special defensive talent

Special defensive talent

Is that like special education?

 

[yukonyc212]

Omg Purvis check yourself out of the arena and never come back dear lord!

 

[BUConn10]

August, Purvis is just really letting rip huh?

 

[Drew]

Purvis now 4-18 from the field and 2-12 from 3

 

[jibsey]

Game's not over yet. Still time.

Purvis.... sigh. 4 for 17 today.

purvis 3's from 27 feet away? Ridiculous.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Played hard just didn't hit enough shots

 

[UConnDan97]

Who else is willing to take the shots, again?

This board...

Needs to keep shooting

 

[upstater]

Purvis is having a bad shooting day.

That being said, those of you who don't want him to shoot are absolutely out of your minds.

 

[upstater]

To win this game, Vance, Purvis and Vital needed to hit 3s in the last 8 minutes.

 

[tcf15]

Yup - combined 14-56 in the Auburn, Houston and SMU game.

 

[Matrim55]

Who else is willing to take the shots, again?

This board...

1. When your PG is out, it's tough to generate good shots against a good defense
2. When you can't generate good shots, someone has to take bad shots
3. The guy who brings the ball up in that situation is usually the one who takes a lot of bad shots
4. See: DHam's shooting % the last two years, or Rodney's this year when Jalen has been out

I know you know this, but I felt the need to type out the context anyway.

Very happy we'll have 3 PGs next year, as well as a trio of wings (Vital, Jackson, Larrier) who can really pass the ball.

 

[8893]

Valiant!

 

[BugsyCT]

Welp, gotta win the AAC tourney anyway. Hopefully Jalen's back healthy & there are some upsets. Anything can happen.

Sink or swim it was our only shot at it.

We sunk, but he's the only guy who had a chance of getting unconscious. All those shots he missed even the deep chucks he's made tons of times.

 

[jibsey]

The 3's that Rodney takes are not smart. If he's near the line OK. Vance has passed up some line 3's today that he shoukd take

 

[Silk31]

Things that make me sad today:

- Jalen's Injury
- Facey's continued great play and still not coming to grips with his progression being wasted this year

Things that make me happy today:

- Vital & Vance

 

[Travelman6]

Well, they did not get creamed. Great effort even, but not enough shots fell. Simple as that. All things considered, not an awful game.
