Disappointing game.

[GATA]

I, for one am PROUD of this TEAM for Fighting Back, after being down +20!!!!! 

Great, maybe we can show up in the first 30 minutes next time.

Stupid moral victories.

[atskooc]

Turned out like I thought it would, which is saying something after that start.

[Huskerone]

I'll give'em credit, they made me watch the whole game.  A moral victory I guess.

Wisconsin is a really good offensive team, and it didn't feel to me they played very well on offense.  We need to find offense, if that means pressing more, so be it.  We can't keep scoring 13 points in the first half, and think we can comeback and win.

Defensively, sure.

 

Sam must have watched just the second half.

Was just thinking this. 1/2 time ?

I would start Pitch, Tai, Shavon, Terran, and Benny, and press the crap out of teams.  We flustered one of the better ball handling teams in the country for the final 4 minutes of the game.

We don't have enough depth to do that though.

Yeah, not sure what that even means. Elite effort? We tried hard after getting down by a lot?

No kidding. I love Sam's work, but he's way off here.

We have to do it more than when we get down by double digits.  Maybe not the whole time, but we have to do it a minimum of half the time.

We have to do something different, pressing is a decent idea I think.

I would like to see that kind of effort offensively for an entire game. Taking the ball to the basket early in the clock > sitting around for 30 seconds and having Petteway hoist up a contested nba range 3. Who would have thunk it.

Maybe, if we get a different set of refs, they may call some fouls, and we get to the free throw line.

Now that Would be nice!      But it seems to me lack of Defense is not our problem!

Yeah, but it can get us easy baskets.  On the flip side, it can give the other team easy baskets.  Miles made a good point, though in his post game radio interview.  He said someone asked him why they didn't press more in the first half.  He said that you have to make baskets.

 

Maybe, also try to crash the boards once in a while and try to get an easy basket.  This team struggles in the half court.  Need to find ways to steal points.

I hear you!       We've got to find something that works on offense!
