We might give up 45 in a half

OSU is getting great shots. Gotta play some defense if you want them to miss

Agree with that.

The offensive turnovers are maddening. Efficiency-wise they have not been bad even if some of the possessions look ugly.

Awful possession. Trice hits a three

midranger · Post #1465 » by **midranger** » Fri Feb 24, 2017 2:55 am

I really didn't anticipate a no show blow out coming tonight.

Nigel Hayes straight sucks

If only this team had some seniors ....could use the leadership

The seniors have basically all of our points.

Defense has sucked. I don't know if that is leadership or what. Showalter and Happ being out with foul trouble has been a problem.

We can't penetration again. They are driving at will.

Making a lot of contested 3s is the only reason we're not down 20

Just skip the B10 tourney and practice that week

Turk Nowitzki · Post #1471 » by **Turk Nowitzki** » Fri Feb 24, 2017 3:05 am

That was our worst defensive half of the year. If we were shooting our usual lousy percentage from three we would be down by like 20-25.

Welcome to college basketball, where semi-contested 3s are still probably one of the more efficient shots.

Yeah. They've definitely been a boon to our offense this year.

Look, if Koenig, Brown, and Trice are going to start hitting 3s, that's a great sign and I hope they keep shooting. It's not like Happ and Iverson are hitting them. It's guys that we know can hit them if they get going.

you can say that, but we're not a 47% 3pt shooting team. Particularly the variety we've taken this game. Regression to the mean will occur. THe offense overall is a mess

midranger · Post #1476 » by **midranger** » Fri Feb 24, 2017 3:20 am

Koenig back to lights out for 3 halves. That game off needed to come sooner

MilHammer · Post #1477 » by **MilHammer** » Fri Feb 24, 2017 3:25 am

What an explosive move by Iverson

Turk Nowitzki · Post #1478 » by **Turk Nowitzki** » Fri Feb 24, 2017 3:26 am

**** my life, mark down that possession where we missed three point blank looks that wouldve cut it to 7.

MilHammer · Post #1479 » by **MilHammer** » Fri Feb 24, 2017 3:27 am

Dear God everyone on the team missed on that posession

Kerb Hohl · Post #1480 » by **Kerb Hohl** » Fri Feb 24, 2017 3:27 am

There are a lot of offensive aspects that I may not forgive of Hayes but somewhat understand regressions (mostly related to shot).

The goddamn nonchalant flips up to the rim and shortarmed layups are **** indefensible.
