Tons of time left, but not super confident we actually win this.

Koloko must feel so underused.

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Sun Jan 12, 2020 9:35 pm

Losing to a group of un- athletic overweight white guys is an interesting look.

This is where I start to be encouraged that this is will be a good loss, and we actually will go up in KenPom.

He’d be on court a lot more.

How's Barcello doing lately?

Hopefully they can still pull this one out tonight, but even if they do they still won't have beaten a quality team this season, just beaten up some cupcakes. I don't see this team getting better, more going the other way...

We should be pressing these guys on made shots..........double up Thompson and make the rest of the pasty white guys bring the ball up. Its not like they have a bunch of gazelles out there that are going to burn a press.

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Sun Jan 12, 2020 9:40 pm

We're almost to the stage of the game where we start jacking up bad 3s

Postmaster · Post by **Postmaster** » Sun Jan 12, 2020 9:41 pm

There is more than 1:10 left, too early to press

SabinoDrifter · Post by **SabinoDrifter** » Sun Jan 12, 2020 9:42 pm

The drop off between Green, Nico and Zeke and the rest of this team is significant.

We've been doing that since the opening tip. Its Millers standard offense against a zone. The only time its worked has been when NNaji grabs the rebound and puts it back in. Without his 9 boards the game would already be over.

What? We haven't taken hardly any 3s.... yet.

TatetheGreat · Post by **TatetheGreat** » Sun Jan 12, 2020 9:43 pm

No assists for Nico in the second half...

SCCats · Post by **SCCats** » Sun Jan 12, 2020 9:44 pm

I’m confident Sean can make the right adjustments in the last 8 min to make the difference

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sun Jan 12, 2020 9:44 pm

down 10 with 7:43 left.

oof

dmjcat · Post by **dmjcat** » Sun Jan 12, 2020 9:45 pm

The fat lady is warming up.

12, yikes.

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Sun Jan 12, 2020 9:45 pm

Did we just take our final timeout?

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sun Jan 12, 2020 9:45 pm

lmfao

CalStateTempe · Post by **CalStateTempe** » Sun Jan 12, 2020 9:45 pm

As choo would say, this is a special team this year.

I agree with him on the use of the team “special team” at least, if not the semantics.

yup

6:34 left

“If only we had played defense, we could’ve won that game!”

(Excuse warm up)

Yes, he will. Will the players execute though?

Beachcat97 · Post by **Beachcat97** » Sun Jan 12, 2020 9:46 pm

Well, I’m looking at Miller. Even after years and years of being beaten by a zone, he remains clueless as to how to play against one. It’s hard to watch.

And in a larger sense, man is this season not going how I expected.

Nope. And Gettings, and Smith, and Jeter, and...

dmjcat · Post by **dmjcat** » Sun Jan 12, 2020 9:47 pm

Did Miller just see how OSU attacked our zone????

SabinoDrifter · Post by **SabinoDrifter** » Sun Jan 12, 2020 9:48 pm

Oregon State made 11 of last 12. Smith and Jeter both have mental breakdowns on defense for easy layups.

But are metrics are sooooo fucking awesome!

Why attack a zone when you can just dribble around the perimeter and then hoist a 3; if you are good enough to have a shot attempt!

dmjcat · Post by **dmjcat** » Sun Jan 12, 2020 9:49 pm

Is Miller going to wait until under a minute to start pressing????

We are not a well coached team.

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sun Jan 12, 2020 9:50 pm

we're getting run off the court now

mannion getting beat and beat and beat

Beachcat97 · Post by **Beachcat97** » Sun Jan 12, 2020 9:50 pm

Trending downward. Decent chance we aren’t dancing, guys.

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Sun Jan 12, 2020 9:50 pm

I can't wait to hear the positives out of this loss.

CalStateTempe · Post by **CalStateTempe** » Sun Jan 12, 2020 9:50 pm

A players program!

(Cause you know there’re the ones the fuck it all up, Coach is Pope level infallible)

At least this loss will stop all of the ridiculous talk about getting a top 4 seed.

It's called moving without the ball. Perhaps somebody should see how easily it actually does break down a zone.

There's going to be no good way to spin this L if nothing changes--like a press, maybe?

Careful. Choos gonna come light all our ingrate asses up! I’ve been told we have a special team this year.

We’re special alright.
