Give Jesse The Ball

You can get mad at Joe for a lot, but not sure what he was suppose to do on the last possession. He got stuck with the ball because we gave the ball to Benny. That entire sequence made no sense.

hit the shot?
 
Justin Taylor is a 2. He’ll be really good for some school in the DMV next season.

He was 2 for 8 today. He has too many of those type of days.

The last possession just showed, yet again, that he can't create anything. Our offense is dependent on guards who can.

If we're sticking with one old man, then I think the other one has gotta go.

It's been this way with a lot of guards here for 25 years. It's a symptom of the crappy sets we run.

Joe doesn't. Not consistently. Especially for a 4th year player.

Go find someone in the portal. Everyone else does.

Okay, so go to the portal, that’s different then “give someone else a chance” as if there is someone on the team.

The nightmare season is over. It would have been nice to win this game, but oh well. Time to determine who stays, go or transfer.

Which one, this year or last year?

How about asking what the play design was? As noted here, the entire thing was off. From the start. And it went exactly as I expected it to go. Disjointed. Unclear what the main action was supposed to be.

None of it surprised me at all.

Just like the first half
 
Joe 9 pts 5ast, 4 TO and 2-8 shooting. Benny finally played like we so badly needed him to all year... but .

Along with being out coached coming out of the halftime, Cause they made adjustments and we did not...Same ol same ol...

I agree completely but would have liked to see him at least try to get more open before the last three seconds.

Putting the ball in the third boeheim brothers hand with the game on the line. Perfectly sums up the last 5 years

I think it goes without saying the play was not drawn up for Joe. It just ended up in his hands at the end of the shot clock because things broke down. I’m not really mad at Joe for that shot. Plenty of other reasons throughout his career to be mad at him for though.

Yeah Joe wasn't good today but that play isn't on him.
 
Not sure Benny should have been inside the arc, if that was girard inside the arc with 7 to go, and he kicked out to benny for a quick shot or pass back to Judah would of made more sense, but no need to double Girard today to make that kickout.

Whoever was guarding Girard today was playing out of his mind for wake, Really that matchup was the difference maker imo. A ton of positives today.

Joe kept standing around rather than moving around to get open. He did it at the end of the first half and at the end of the game. SMH.
Expand...
He was probably told to stay in the corner to spread the court and not bring his man in the paint. Once Benny picked up his dribble that possession was toast.

He pulled that move again where he gets ripped clean, starts whining to the ref about it, while his teammate is in a fight to the death for a loose ball two feet in front of him

Any decent defender can stay in front of Slo’ Joe

He was terrible. 8 points on 2 fir 8 and played most of the game. He had the ball with 8 seconds on the shot clock and could have tried to drive it but shot a terrible shot. He is awful on both ends.

I don’t disagree with any of that really but given his skillset, our odds are probably better with that step back he attempted than him driving.

Agree that he’s bad defensively and limited offensively. It was a garbage final possession but that wasn’t his fault.
