Hope they can turn it around in the second half but that was a subpar performance.
ADO’s man scored like a dozen points that half. I know his D is bad but that was ugly.

ADO is NOT the reason for this halftime deficit. It was mostly due to sloppy passing causing turnovers, and lousy 3-point shooting - primarily by CB (1-7)...EastCoastCat wrote: Tue Feb 11, 2025 6:54 pm Hope they can turn it around in the second half but that was a subpar performance.

.. the team needs to play with more composure and run the offense (even when ADO is out).

I noticed that we call a set play, especially the baseline play, and we often make the pass whether it's open or not.
Re: (M) Game Arizona at Kansas State 2024/2025
Time to see how this team responds.

Re: (M) Game Arizona at Kansas State 2024/2025
Lots of time available for Awaka if he can keep from fouling
Re: (M) Game Arizona at Kansas State 2024/2025
Let’s see how we adjust - winnable game if we play to our strengths and cut down on the bad turnovers
Re: (M) Game Arizona at Kansas State 2024/2025
Well, one reason is that you only notice/remember when he's beaten, and ignore when others (e.g., CB) are too. BTW, CB's awesome block saved his awful D prior.dmjcat wrote: Tue Feb 11, 2025 7:01 pmI honestly don't know why opposing coaches just don't isolate on him and run their whole offense at himEastCoastCat wrote: Tue Feb 11, 2025 6:54 pm Hope they can turn it around in the second half but that was a subpar performance.

I will see you there, or I will see you on another time
Re: (M) Game Arizona at Kansas State 2024/2025
Sorry pc but your defense of ADO is falling on deaf ears tonight. He looks terrible. And Tommy sees it too.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Re: (M) Game Arizona at Kansas State 2024/2025
That looks pretty dirty
Re: (M) Game Arizona at Kansas State 2024/2025
Eventually we need to hit one or two of these open 3s

KJ and Carter shouldn't be allowed to try contested passes.
Re: (M) Game Arizona at Kansas State 2024/2025
I’ve noticed this for several years and from every top tier team…..players are uncomfortable shooting 8-10 footers. They practice dribbling and shooting 3s to death, but can’t hit the short jumper. And we had quite a few of those short jumper looks in the first half.Chicat wrote: Tue Feb 11, 2025 7:12 pm Sorry pc but your defense of ADO is falling on deaf ears tonight. He looks terrible.

Re: (M) Game Arizona at Kansas State 2024/2025
Missing wide open shots, getting sloppy with ball - not looking good at the under 16
Re: (M) Game Arizona at Kansas State 2024/2025
It's kind of hilarious how neither team can buy a 3.

The refs have made their calling clear.
Be physical. They’re allowing it.

Need Love to do one of those "we're not losing" dagger 3s to get us going.

Well ADO's defense is a liability. We just can't hit a shot. Let's see if Tobey can bring us back.
Re: (M) Game Arizona at Kansas State 2024/2025

Re: (M) Game Arizona at Kansas State 2024/2025
We need to get back on track free throw wise as well.

The 2 bigs to start the second half produced a quick bucket. We need to bring that back ASAP

Maybe it's a good thing this game got put on +. Not pretty.

Re: (M) Game Arizona at Kansas State 2024/2025
You can't run the offense through Awaka because he is also a terrible passer
Re: (M) Game Arizona at Kansas State 2024/2025
These refs are going to have to start calling some of the contact on Awaka down low. Tommy needs to shed the nice guy act here on the road and protect his player.

Re: (M) Game Arizona at Kansas State 2024/2025
Nice pass from love!
Re: (M) Game Arizona at Kansas State 2024/2025
We have 7 assists on 17 baskets - our offense is clunky today...
... That's how we lose

Lots of time. Just keeping chopping. Got lucky on that last KSU shot. We just look off and I can't tell if its defense or what.
Re: (M) Game Arizona at Kansas State 2024/2025
Bad time for a TV timeout. We were starting to get some rhythm.

I love how even with a blizzard there's more fans there tonight than during any Pac 12 away game with perfect weather.
