Not really, we’ve done a much better job in the second knocking their bigs off the box. Have forced 3-4 TOs and a few misses. A zone would basically give them baskets
Agreed but right now this is what we got. We have to hope they keep trAveling and missing gimmies. Otherwise they are on the line or hitting five footers. I think in 2017 we need young badly and then a athletic wing defender with s high motor . That’s what this teAm needs. We need this free throw. Missed three lately which we need
People need to recruit Rochester ny. I’m telling you we have so many unrecruited, unranked hidden gems. If u saw the film you would agree. Wow clumsy white boys. Just gave them two points. Can’t blow possessions like that. Can’t Afford it
In the words of John Calipari…‘if you don’t have a post game, you’re a fraud’
This games on donnall bottom line. That’s why you play Wagner. He can at least score back
That’s why I liked 2-3. If it wasn’t for swanigan being a klutz they’d be all over us, five missed free throws late. Could be down six
How were we down -13
I thought it was eleven
We should have been doubling way more too. Dare them to beat us downtown.
Bad sub patterns/ strAtegy today. Also intensity wasn’t dialed on d till to late. Personally I thinking people really look at our top 100 losses our resume is not equal. Our top 100 games were all top 25 games bAsically. Lots of top 15
Game. Wish it looked closer. Hope this doesn’t knock us off the bubble. I’m worried it will increase the narrative ( rightfully so) that we often were out classed and destroyed by good competition. Not the look we needed.
Apparently it is a foul every time they touch the ball down low. Smh
Yea some bad calls. Anyone else agree that jump stop they do is a travel? They are galloping and then pivoting and then jumping off one foot
We blew our chance when they went scoreless for 4 and half minutes. We only cut lead from 15
To ten. Then we went on a mini run to get down to six. Had we converted on their sloppy play before that six point lead could have been tied or down two. With the momentum on our side/ pressure on them you never know
That is not a travel. It is taught and practiced and the move is brought to the refs attention before the game to clarify that it’s not a travel before they deploy it.
I have always been taught you must take off and kind on two feet on a jump stop. Then also take off to shoot with two feet. They are galloping and then stepping through off one foot for a shot. Irvin for instance does it correct. Part of the reason it’s not affective. Rule change?
Land not kind. Sorry the phone is hard to type so much
I believe in the nineties with mourning we started to see that move more and not be called. I don’t remember that being allowed in the eighties . Another travel popularized in the nba by wade and lebron is the fast break hop step they use as their first step followed by more steps to the rack. I can’t explain it any other way. But I think you guys know the move.
They called it as a travel several times, but it was still only 10-20% of the times that it occurred. I was at the game, listening to the Purdue fans snicker at just how often their big men were getting away with steps. They shuffle their feet twice, which actually leads to 4 steps. It is, by definition, traveling. But they, and most big men with moves, get away with it so frequently that it doesn’t seem to matter. I’d say we should just do it too, but we dont post up, so the lack of whistles hurts us extra.
I mean Caleb was definitely traveling but I refuse to believe that gallop isn’t a travel
