If Sears didn't do that I think our momentum becomes too much and we win this game. Completely agree. If we had guards that were making clutch shots or pass down the stretch we could have spared a few., but it was obvious they were leaning on Sears to make things happen. A few missed rebounds hurt when he missed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He held up on a few possessions but no one blocked out or stopped the follow up.. Would also like to see Pearl call timeout to get the team together on what to do Edited January 25 by Randman5000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTNupe11 2,038 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 We shouldn't still be wondering why Bruce doesn't call a TO or take out key players in key moments. At some point someone has to call him out on this s***. No reason why Lior was playing in the second half during a critical comeback. No reason why Broome sat on the bench from minute 13 to minute 6. No reason why he took Tre out the game with 3 minutes left and put in Aden when Tre was the reason, along with Broome, for us even getting back into the game. If anything, the boys almost bailed Bruce out but he definitely failed them tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, our win streak was based on surprisingly subpar comp. Our first chance to man up tonight was a fail. UT, UK, USCe and Bama again await 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a ceiling but they can't have slumps like this in big games. They have to be able to seize momentum when it matters. Wasn't able to watch sadly but sounds like we also had plenty of dumb decisions in key moments. Hoping it is a learning lesson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't share any stats, just quoted him in the post. I just thought we had Final Four potential, and I don't feel so good about that after tonight.

cole256 17,084 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 We should have played them like teams played us the last couple of years.... Doubled Sears quick make him give up the ball and then make them have to score and be Smart without him. I don't know we didn't double him more 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e808 3,028 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 On some of the podcasts they were saying this team is deeper and better than the final four team. I believe the final four team was more athletic and had better shooters. This team still could prove me wrong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
