meh...stationary deep 3s early in the shot clock = no bueno

Notice that happened with CJ on the bench. Offense just doesn't run as smoothly

 

[BB73]

If they had waited a couple of seconds before inbounding that, instead of doing it right away at 33 seconds, they could more easily take the last shot of the half.

Has anyone told Washington when we get a good stop on defense that he doesn't have to wrecklessly drive to the hole with no plan in mind, particularly when we have a 10 point lead with less than two minutes left? He does that shit all the time and I don't get how we haven't told him he is to never do it again.

I think that's what Coach Holtmann meant by "sending me to an early grave"....

 

[BB73]

They needed to take a few extra seconds to inbound that and they could have had the shot clock off.

Yeah, since the rule-makers haven’t figured out to treat the last minute of the first half like the last minute of the game, stopping the clock after made hoops.

7 point lead at the half (it was 6 Tuesday).

Bucky shot 33% overall and 20% from deep. Feels like a missed opportunity, but we are ahead so there's that.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Terrible analysis about tempo. LMAO ok. How about we're shooting very well and playing great defense. Suck it!

 

[HenryMuto]

Well this is shades of Purdue all over again. Got an 11 point lead and had a ton of chances to push it from 10 to 12 or 13 and miss, miss, turnover, miss........

I really don't have good feeling about the 2nd half. I really hope I am wrong but I just got this gut feeling Ohio State blows this in the 2nd half.

True. What we have to do differently this game is continue attacking. Tuesday we just kept launching too much knowing we had their best player in foul trouble. Hopefully CJ is the difference in making better decisions this afternoon

Stop it. I know it looks similar but we have CJ on the court today and different players are making plays vs the shooting barrage last game. Stay positive, this ain't Kentucky

Yep, some bad possessions in the last couple minutes. We don't seem to end halves well, for some reason, even when playing well that game.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Yes. Keep going inside get the fouls and make free throws baby

 

[BB73]

Could’ve been an And-1.

 

[Bestbuck36]

EJ building that draft position. Kyle!

 

[Jake]

Nice response after Bucky cut it to six.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Love the attacking. Keep it up you can get a 3 anytime
