Harp_AU2013 208 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 We really need someone else who can handle the ball on the court. We need Justin back.. there is no way a double team should slow us down that much 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ArgoEagle 1,188 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Bad timeout call by BP. We could have gotten a better shot at the buzzer with a timeout. What are you thinking there Bruce? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jAUSon 1,985 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I've only gotten about 3 years experience watching B ball. Not emotionally prepared to see the refs win the game 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Randman5000 2,040 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) That half was freaking terrible. Coach needs to yell at everyone including himself. Ha. Edited January 21 by Randman5000 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ShocksMyBrain 6,034 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Even if they had called the foul, we should’ve never been in that position anyway because that was some trash basketball for half the game. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dual-Threat Rigby 3,633 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I think Jamal missed both, Cooper split, Thor split and Flan split on the last four trips 2 point game and you left at least four late Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AUBwins 4,517 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 As inconsistent as the refs were, FT shooting down the stretch lost it for us. Shot 50% on like 7 straight trips. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Never2Yield 500 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Yeah, bad lost to me - being up by 19. No answer for the doubles on Cooper. Weird. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tigeraddikt 842 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 A simple halftime defensive adjustment and we leave swirlmarks inside the bowl. Rarely happens but Bruce got outcoached that half. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

slyinsocal 301 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Ball handlers. Poise. Don't have enough. Yet. But to the Hogs' credit. They went into full desperation mode. Refs let them hack Cooper to death. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t like the way we looked at all starting late in the first and all of the 2nd. That ranks up there as one of the worst halves of basketball I’ve seen us play under Pearl. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rarely happens but Bruce got outcoached that half. I don't think you can say Bruce got out coached when passes were hitting players in the hands and they were knocking them out of bounds. Bruce can only do so much and it's up to the players to actually make the players. Unfortunately, outside of Thor and Coop, no one else stepped up. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jAUSon 1,985 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I just wonder if the post season ban is showing up in these lulls. Sure the hunger is there. But it aint that "real" hunger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jluvah 169 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 This one’s on Bruce. Seemed more of a spectator than coach. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We blew a 19 point lead but at the end of the day if the refs would have called it the same both ways for 40 minutes, we win. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It sucks now but will pay dividends going forward. Give it time. We're fine. This is a rebuild year. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AUnCullman 187 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Lack of adjustments as mentioned before left me speechless. Didnt control the boards (aren't we supposed to have more size). Sloppy with the ball and didnt clear out for coop on our last full possession. 4 white jerseys under the basket and our guys are just standing around. Unbelievable. Our guys folded like a wet paper towel when Arky started making their run. BUT, we are young and I guess going through growing pains. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dual-Threat Rigby 3,633 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 This loss is far bigger than just missing someone, but having a Powell would’ve allowed for you to still run your offense + have someone SEE the court when Cooper was indisposed 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
