@KansasComet He had 2 big steps, what I couldn't quite tell was if the ball was out of his hands before his foot came back down...

It was their Sr. day...
A win would have been amazing
Full length at the basket
@cragarhawk agreed
2nd time we couldn't close out a game with a full court drive at buzzzer. Great game andlots of heart.
I'm not proposing that's the strategy...just be prepared with O RB
Miss and put back 2?
1 & 2
I'd agree Mason or Graham whomever can get the best shot off. Oubre down low for put back and one if nceessary
Who shoots?
@Crimsonorblue22 yeeeep
Seldon went for the 3, not sure if he pulled onthat shot after he heard whistle or not.
@ajvan He's been blocked how many times though?
@Crimsonorblue22 That would be gutsy to draw that up.
Who shoots?
@Crimsonorblue22 Hope not
Game there i think.
@DCHawker loud squeal...it's used to try and keep birds away from industrial buildings....
Worst music ever in the arena. Sounds like a rabbit being attacked by an owl...
Too many bigs all going for the block...put us out of position.
Needed a stop there or 3 right there
Seldon needs to hit a 3 and get his confidence back
Traylor seemed hellbent to get his 5th foul on that possession.
4 of 5 starters in double digits and the 5th...0 points
Won't go as a RB for Lucas but this exra possession due to his hustle there
Seldon, invisible stat line pretty much except for shot attemps with a big 0
Lucas with 13 pts 12 RB's
GGGGGGritty
@drgnslayr particularly liked this line:
But at some point, we have to get back to Xs and Os. Our current strategy is one for teaching... and useful for winning. But somewhere down the road we need to get back to attempting to run effective offense.
Relying on 80% FT% with high volume is fools gold.
@HighEliteMajor FT% last 2 games: Tx 81.3% and WV 79.1% on a drive and get fouled strategy apparently (at least that seemed the case against Tx). I think Jesse called that WV fouling was a good bet for tonight.
@betterfireE Granted and thankfully so. But I don't think I've seen that translate in 1 and done tournament games when things are going well. Seems the player psychology is all different. Definitely take the win ugly over a loss. Will anything we did tonight carry over except play damn hard all the time? Maybe that's enough.
@Bwag @betterfireE 81.3% versus Tx and 79.1% tonight.
@betterfireE Relying on a 80% FT % to win the game.
Second game in a row that we won it at the FT line. I'm not a big fan of that being how we plan to win. Will take that over a loss, but come on...let's find an actual offense we can execute with some level of success.
Bill likes ugly then apparently. Gotta love the passion in the 2nd half but really...
@betterfireE I've read it, but i don't know if its' succeessful when we're in a 1 and done tournament scenarioa. the psychology is all different at that point.
@VailHawk "Damn, that 25K would have beena good party."
I'm not sure what we learned tonight other than if we play hard we can pull a game out. I guess it was thesame last game as well. So outside of hard play, what is our identity going forward?
You'd hope we'd come back around with some 3 point shooting confidence but how do we get there?
@globaljaybird And the Rabbit didn't die.
Switch to Makers Mark, worked.
Need our .769 FT % to go up.
Why did he pick up his dribble?
WV with 21 O RB's. We need to keep them off the boards the balsnce of the game.
How about we just close this out with a win? Big FT's.
@truehawk93 same could be said of us. They played their butts off. We decided to the 2nd half.
@Bwag And 20th ranked team in the country.
@truehawk93 2 of their best players on the bench for the whole game and they made us fight them into OT.
@Bwag Or go to the other side ofthe rim.
If mason can't dunk that he needs to pull the damn ball out.
