Dan Hurley went small went Diarra, Newton, Hawkins, AJ and Sanogo/ Clingan with Alleyne as a sixth man. The rest of the half belonged to us and Freemantle was scoreless the rest of the half with AJ on him. They have one ball handler and we had him in a panic with many turnovers. Dan Hurley never played this lineup in the second half. We had a 7 point lead with the ball and Hawkins took a rushed 3 rather than look for a good shot. Karaban was totally outplayed, the Big East teams are exposing him, we really need Samson back soon. Karaban is a natural 3, not a 4. We had 4 starters play 33 minutes or more, Our guys are not used to playing that many minutes while theirs's are. I thought depth was our strength. I put this loss on Dan Hurley, he went back to his old style of coaching, relying on too few players and wearing them out. I don't care how one sided the calls were, no f.....g excuse for a coach getting a T with 2 minutes to go in a 2 point game. And our guys played the last 3 minutes like they had never been in a close game before, not a good sign. A lot of hero ball going on. Down 5 with a minute to go you need to make sure you get a good shot, not throw some crap at the hoop and hope it goes in. Lastly, everyone is saying Sanogo played terrible defense. It was not entirely him, our rotations on the pick and roll were awful. Joey C, got burnt and Karaban twice. Alex has a tendency to take his eye off the ball. [/QUOTE]
