Above (or below) anyone else, bad Triche really stood out like sore thumb today. he seemed to practically single-handedly take us out of this game.
I decided to rewatch the last 6 minutes of the game, focus purely on Triche, and see if things were as bad as my immediate impressions said they were. They were and weren't. All the bad things, i.e. direct cause, I initially noticed were still there. However, there were a few positives that I missed. And also, there were some bad plays he was involved in, but was not the direct cause.
5:58 turns the ball over on a simple inbounds play.
5:35 Luke Hancock (referred to as the "dumb white kid" by the chat room intelligentsia) drills a 3 over Triche, as he gives the token, minimal effort, just gonna raise my hand on D
4:57 Thankfully, he hands the ball off to MCW, who gets a great score.
3:50 Part of a nice set in which Fair misses from the wing
3:48 Inbounds to Fair, whom tries to do too much, and ends up travelling. TO.
3:15 Reaches way in on Hancock, but Cuse gets the call, "pushing" on Hancock.
2:51 Part of a great set, ultimately giving it to Fair on the other wing, for a deuce.8-0 run for the Orange, up 1!
1:58 Team immediately looks out of focus after having gone up 1. Triche pauses for a few seconds to set whatever it is the offense is. 1st pass is to MCW, whom then gives it back to Triche. Triche dribble drives immediately, and short rims a shot he probably should not have taken. I would have liked us to work the clock there, and go to Fair or MCW. Critical possession.
1:53 Right away, Triche reaches in and fouls a Louisville player. Really unnecessarily.
1:44 On the same possession, Louisville misses a 3, Fair knocks it out to Triche. Triche starts running before he grabs the ball, gets challenged by the Louisville player, and dribbles off his foot. Great effort by Fair. Bone headed play by Triche. Turnover. Smith gets the rock, Triche is praying to his inner demons, gesticulating to nobody but himself, while Smith blows right by him. Foul on an interior Cuse player. Triche apparently thinks dribbling off one's foot is a foul on the opponent.
1:37 Smith misses his 2nd FT. Triche does not box out. Smith gets the rock, dishes to Bohannon, whom gets fouled.
1:28 TO JB. Triche goes to the bench grabbing his forearm, seemingly signalling that he was held at some point. JB is reading him the riot act.
1:15 Nice set, but Fair passes Triche the rock as he's under the basket, Triche misses a circus shot. Not sure I blame him for it, given where Fair's pass left him. Still, would have been nice if he settled, and either squared up for 2 and a foul, or reset the offense.
1:14 Triche inbounds to MCW, turnover Cuse. Really bad pass IMO. In the chat, some were arguing that MCW should have handled it. Elmore was as well. After a few re-watches I see his point. Still, it was a called play, but it didn't seem to be there. MCW couldn't squeeze off his man. Triche should have went elsewhere or called a TO.
:50 Triche gets caught up on a screen. His man blows past him, and dribbles to the "dumb white kid" for a 3, putting Louisville up 3.
:34 Even though we're only down 3, the wheels are off. MCW, misses a difficult 3, and Triche fouls Smith.
:27 Triche with an awful turnover. He dribbles into 2 players, Ware and the "dumb white kid" and Ware strips him.
:16 Triche gets fouled on a good drive to the rim. Makes both.
:14 We press the inbounds. MCW deflects the ball to Triche. Triche seems to get held by #10, but arguably should have handled the ball. Again, he was running before having a handle on the ball. Ball goes off Triche's hand, then foot, between Grant's legs, and out of bounds, Louisville ball.
Take it how you will. Whipping boy or not. You really hate the kid to wither under pressure like this, in his senior season of all things. He needs to guide us to a few wins in the tourney to clean his slate.
