They want the ball to flow through their big guy at the top of the key. I'd deny him receiving it there 100% & force him to cut into the lane & try to disrupt the motion they want.
But will unfortunatelyCannot lose on senior night. Cannot.
Yup. The crowd is going to need to be a factor.Just need to stack a few stops together and get Hilton roaring. Second half we will be better.
Why the f are we drawing up plays for a guy that plays five minutes/game?
Horrendous half. This team, at this point of the season, is only marginally better than last year’s and could absolutely get boat run by a 14 seed.
What, reasonable analysis in a game thread? The Eeyore Brigade will never allow that.BYU is basically built to counter our defense, but we’re not helping ourselves. Very tentative on offense and alternating between forcing bad shots and taking the first available open shot which is allowing them to get out and run.
Need to settle down on offense and gamble less of defense. Getting a foul call when we get knocked to the floor would help too
Can we please not go down the ref blaming rabbit hole? They missed several calls but BYU is straight up owning us on the offensive side of the floor. They make our vaunted defense look like a paper tiger with how they play offense.BYU doesn't play that rough and tumble on defense, but they are hacking the hell out of us, and getting away with it. I simply don't understand some of the blatant fouls these refs have let fly when we have been going up for shots. I'm not trying to whine, but Big Rob and Tre should have had some free throws
Yep. BYU isn't going to just forget how to make wide open 3s. It'll be up ISU to find a way to defend the weak spot: the 3pt line.Just need to stack a few stops together and get Hilton roaring. Second half we will be better.
