Matta doesnt know how to use his timeouts.

 

[MD Buckeye]

Come on fellas. Regroup during this timeout

 

[THEWOOD]

buckeyes cannot win with sullinger and buford on the bench at the same time...i am pretty sure both times PurDONT has taken the lead, both have been on the bench

 

[JohnnyCockfight]

Two thougths:

Deshaun is making bad decisions on both ends right now.

It's okay to use your timeouts.

 

[BlufftonBuckeye]

i'm beating a dead horse here, but deshaun should know why he doesn't get more minutes.

He was mugged. Absolutely mugged inside. The threes...*sigh*

But there is no reason not to call a foul when he goes inside and is sandwiched.

I was OK with that 3. He was wide open and wasn't forcing a shot (like he did earlier in the game), unfortunately it didn't go it.

Yes...

Does the coaching staff not say anything to him? If he is not hitting his shots then.........................................

 

[EidoloN]

I'm not soldon Thomas yet, all the games I've watched of him, he just seems to throw up errant shots and not makes smart decisions. The guys are flustered right now and lost. They will regroup.

This.

Bufford got called for a couple tick tack fouls at the beginning of the game.

Sully's second foul was an absolute joke.

Now we have no identity on offense. We have turnover Diebler dribbling around for 20 seconds.

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

That happens to Sully every time down the court.

That was not a foul.

That was just too good of defense.

sully's second foul was good defense? his arms weren't not straight up and he hit johnson on the forearm. it was a good call on a needless foul. sully already had one foul. johnson was under the rim. giving the guy his bucket would have been the smart play. sully does not block shots of 7-footers.

 

[Jake]

Deshaun shoots 26% from three. He needs to shoot from closer to the rim.

 

[Bucknut24]

some one from purdue finally missed a shot

 

[BlufftonBuckeye]

I expect a big shot from Diebs between now and half.

 

[Meyer]

Expanding on THEWOOD's point: We also cannot win turning the ball over like this. We are the better team. We have to do what we are the best at; Not foul and not turn the ball over.

oh, i'm sure the staff says plenty to him. the loudest words, though, are his lack of minutes. those words should be deafening to deshaun.
