NCAA Tournament Game 2, vs. Saint Mary's (2016-2017)

Re: NCAA Tournament Game 2, vs. Saint Mary's (2016-2017)
Need to find ways to score. Get the ball to Lauri even if it's on the perimeter. need Trier to step up and create shots that aren't bricks. Looked like we were able to defend better towards the end of the half, Lauri was on Landow.

538 has the game 50/50 right now

Trier had a shitty, shitty half.
But anyone suggesting he should be on our bench and not be playing.... I don't have any words for that

Re: NCAA Tournament Game 2, vs. Saint Mary's (2016-2017)
Our % will improve if we stop rushing our shots. Our passing and timing has been off so when we get an opening we pull the trigger way too fast. If we're not going to go to the rim we need to move the fucking ball because they have real good on-ball D on the perimeter. We have a fair amount of O boards but we need to get more physical in the paint.

Especially with RA's splint likely to impact his 3 point shot. We're going to need the good Trier.

The Cats can win without AT. They did before he returned. I want the best players on the floor. If AT wakes up, fine.Gladiator Cat wrote:We don't advance with out AT contributing. Its that simple.

Sorry alieb, I'm all for giving him a chance, letting him find his rhythm, but he's just a terrible teammate sometimes.
That's tie when you playing the Washington states of the world, but not in a one and done tourney.
I hope Miller chewed him out, let's him start, but keeps him on a short leash.

I think when we get the lead in the 2nd half, momentum will change big-time in our favor.

OK. A second single malt for the second half. This one has to taste better or I'm gonna kill the bottle.

Not quite. St. Marys is much better than South Alabama/Charleston.......we need to step up our game before there is 5 minutes left in the game

If Trier could attack the basket and not take contested jumpers that'd be great

Ok, time to sack the fudge up. I call we win the 2nd half 37-31. So we win 66 -61. Call it!

Why are we doing this? Just letting them run their offense. We've already proven we can't stop them that way.

We have to grok their two and three man game. That pick and roll goes either one of two ways and we suck at both of them.

Ok seriously, is anyone actually worried? Is this not exactly the kind of game we always win in the end? Cats by 5-8, but heartburn until the last 20 seconds.

Re: NCAA Tournament Game 2, vs. Saint Mary's (2016-2017)
I already like the way Trier is playing in this half. He is not forcing it. And yes, Ristic is a huge liability on defense and the boards. I'm surprised he's never learned to block out. He isn't aggressive enough and becomes a liability on the boards. I'd at least like to see him dive for a loose ball.

Looks like last one to score wins.
Don't see any spurt of death possible against St. Mary's.
