And Parrish had to make it which is not a terribly likely thing. They made every huge shot when we had a great shot to win if missed

Sorry to the fans on here. That was a tough one. I am the last guy to get on refs but these non live ball variety ones where bs upgrading to flagrant and then a guy standing over our guy taunting him and then a guy bouncing a ball twenty feet in the air in protest are too much to take. All three were shitty calls that involved free throws and possession. All three went against us. All non live action calls.

Barring an upset at Ohio st. Going to be nerve wracking playing Iowa, who can score, in a winner advances to league tourney and loser goes home scenario. That meltdown in Iowa city looms large now.

You can't predict when he is going to hit shots or not. You can predict how the court is spaced due to teams not to want him to get open shots. Also essentially in the second half was I believe when we got down by 16 or so right out of the gates with wrong lineup.

Fred once again cannot figure out that if you are starved on offense you need to play your best shooter and spacer. Waited too long and it cost us. Just start him Fred. It is not that complicated. We play better team d when the ball is going through the hoop a fair bit. Shouldn't be related, but it is.

He excited the building if nothing else. And he brought a lot more than nothing else,

Some of this won’t be popular as short term bias is a thing. essegian needs to play way more. Spaces court which was all jammed up all evening. Michigan had tremendous game plan jamming it up effort was incredible tonight and that is all I really ask as we are a very flawed team. No matter what team we go with we are bad at something.

I am surprised he wasn't able to find more success there. I have heard they lack funding which makes it much harder.

Hearing good things on the Berke front.

Blake on there is my cousin. He does have some good sources this year .

Hopeful that he can give us 15 minutes of solid play. Would do wonders for our big man rotation against their big guys.

Any updates on original subject matter?

Speaking of Oats analytics I am not sure if destroying a clipboard on the court for a technical is sound analytics:)

Again saying things I didnt say. Can you stop doing that? I wouldn't have that kind of lack of respect for you. I never said play him staright through until he gets 5. So don't say that I did. But when game is getting away, you have to do what you can to stay in it. It does not matter who has how many fouls if you cannot win anyway right? When it gets to 12 or 13 tops you have to put what you think is your best offering out there IMO. We did not do that, nor did we until the second half. The more dire the spot, the more aggressive you need to be to stay in there. That is why in MLB playoffs smart managers go to their best pitchers earlier in games to try to keep the game in reach. Similar concept with fouls in basketball should be used.

I am very passionate on the two foul thing. You were not wrong. I was not aware sam had 2 at that point as well as we have more guards that can play than up front without Berke. I just didn't think we have ourselves our best shot sitting morgan that long. I can be a bit abrasive at times when frustrated. Don't take it the wrong way. Mad respect for you.
