Did Self just ask the team, "Who wants to play tonight. We'll get you all in randomly."
That's what makes me think Self doesn't know what to do with them at this late point...

How bad are we? Driving son back from bball practice
12 points 6 min left
yeah, we err lost in our heads
@Kcmatt7 we certainly are struggling to find an identity. I wonder if Self is scratching his head or if he's working a plan that they just can't execute yet...no way to tell from my untrained eye
Are we just completly lost on offense and half the time on defense?
oh my

You have to run something that resembles an offense to get shots.
Agreed 1oo%

I'm not sure if I can blame Self at least from a coaching perspective. This team just can't shoot.
What's our action to try and free up shots?
I still think that Bill Self needs to adjust his strategy with this team and it needs to be freeing Vick on the perimeter for catch and shoot to better open up his DLas inside game and drive to the hole.
This needs to be go-to srategy whenever DLaw is being crowded and double/tripple teamed inside and the D is laying off our reluctant (or should be reluctant) outside shooters - think Dotson and Garrett and Grimes when he's showing passivity - then you run action for Vick for catch and shoot.
We ran some late in UK game and he hit some shots getting to 10, but it was too late. Adjust sooner. Open up the inside more. Tonight, Self let Vick get marginalized. Sure, some is on Vick, but if Self designs and calls action/plays for Vick, he will get going. He was invisible for much of the game and that is on Self. If the team isn't doing what he wants and is calling, then thats another thing, but I dont see evidence that they ran stuff to accomplish that.
That changes the dynamic of the game and takes some of the pressure off the inside game and their size advantage.
Foul and FT disparity is the game...everything else is window dressing. That's 9 point differential since both teams shot similar %.
Refereeing matters
@Kcmatt7 True...I don't want Vick dribbling too much or rely on his passing...
run action for catch and shoot

About what I expected missing two bigs and playing on the road with youth. It'll be okay.
I agree. But we need coach to step up his game. Ran action for Vick too late

Don’t shoot the ball well enough to win a game where we are so undersized. Not a good matchup for us.
I don't think we run enough action on the perimeter...we did late and Vick ended up with 10 but waaayyyy tooooo laaattte.
Get that going earlier in the half and the rest of the game plan opens up.
Is that on Vick or Self? I put it on Self cause he can call the action and the plays!
Pink and Orange - how hideous is that
Need better Offensive plan
Bill Self still hasnt adjusted to outside in mentality. Runnign stuff for Vick now when its too late. Instead, drive ball or get into Lawson. meanwhile, on the ranch, UK packs in and makes it difficult for us.
If he can make that mental switch. We'd have started with lots of action for Vick and brought their defense out, then pushed in and drive woudl have been more effective

That's going to be ball game. This team isn't good enough to overcome this deficit in this environment. Good fight, but the youth and inexperience of this team isn't there to make comebacks this late.
Doesn"t seem we have an offensive identity that we can establish. They're basically denying the ball to Vick and cant see that we tried all half to really get that going.
And on cue on my delayed feed, Vick hits one.
REFEREEING HAS BEEN AWEFUL ALL GAME, ALL KINDS OF MISSED CALLS BUT BY ALL MEANS, MAKE SURE YOU GET THIS FRICKEN CALL RIGHT.
I'd love someone with coaching insight to explain our offensive strategy...I cant figure it out
So is Bill not running plays to get Vick open?

7 point game, 3 1/2...hmmm
So let's see if the refs start pulling in our direction to keep it a game
7 point game, 3 1/2...hmmm
Lawson only 4 points this half...Dotson 2
Grimes is the one keeping us in on the scoreboard at the moment...as much as we are
FT% even. Attempts not

@Bwag same for the second
True, but for wrong team
Rebounds though are now giving them more attempts...3's we got a 1 point lead
3'z were the difference on the scoreboard in first half...

@Bwag he’s 1-3 and the last two haven’t been close

Not arguing...just saying, we need 3's
12 - 8 foul count

More of that from Ochai. Less shooting 3’s
