Horrible coaching decision by Dixon

[Eric15]

After we got the rebound up 5 with about 1:05 left in the game, TCU didn't foul and allowed us to run 30 seconds off the shot clock. What were they possibly thinking there? Why wouldn't they try to get tangled up with Moyer off the ball and put him (or anyone else) on the line for 1 and 1 and extend the game?

That combined with them taking an hour to get a shot up on their last possession were real head scratchers. I'll take it though

It appeared to me that our defense stepped-up their intensity and movement on that possession, and just didn't give TCU a decent look at the basket. Getting back to Eric's point, maybe Dixson should have called a TO (assuming he had one) and set-up a play to try to get someone open.

That possession was a microcosm of TCU's game. In that situation usually teams attack the basket for a quick. They couldn't even GET to the basket and they had no idea what to do. They looked completely clueless. Broadzinksy (sp?) had a few nice shots and Kenrich Williams had 2 nice putback dunks - but other than that it was nothing

It will be interesting to see how he evolves there with recruits. That certainly was not a traditional Dixon team

Dixon combed his hair back so tightly that if affected his brain.

On that last sequence, it looked like they were ready to attack as soon as they crossed halfcourt but we came at them like we were defending our homeland from invaders and they seemed shell shocked at our intensity.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Their guards looked like Hulls and Ferrell against us in 2013 trying to figure out the zone.

 

[NateW]

Bizarre mistake. You have to extend the game down 5 points with a minute to go.

Yes...I think JB might’ve tweaked the zone there to make them a bit more hesitant. (I keed, I keed)

 

[RandygoCuse]

They should have hired Hopkins

 

[rrlbees]

The 2 minute scramble defense.

Good question about Dixon having any more timeouts. It seemed to me that he was calling them when most coaches wouldn’t have. Is he that much of a control freak?

Cause he just got dunked on?

 

[StopCoolio]

The media was so focused on Dixon's record vs JB that they totally forgot that Jamie Dixon chokes every year in the tournament.

 

[Jake]

Yeah. That was not great strategery. I was preparing for a ft contest that never occurred.

Battle and Frank had subpar games, but those two drives to get us up 5 were the difference.

Jamie's crying

He wants to send us a letter.
Just tryin to make himself feel better.


But he know what that'll get him.

Oh, oh, oh......

I was surprised - you heard so much about their shooting, and they didn't seem to have much interest in shooting threes. They had us in scramble mode a couple times and didn't even look to pull the trigger. Still seemed more interesting in getting into the lane with the pass.

Their game plan seemed to be - hide that one dude in the corner! If they figure that out....uhhhhhh.....we'll get back to you next year. Surprising from Dixon who always gets credit for shredding the zone.

DILLY DILLY!!

 

[Chip]

It's become unfortunate for our opponents that they can't foul Chukwu. If they do, their only hope would be to trade 3 for 2.

Right now I actually have more confidence with Chewy at the line than Frank.

 

[tbonezone]

how many times did the frogs drive in and out thru the lane ? i lost count. turnovers ultimately did them in.

Have you ever watched Moyer on D? I bet it’s a little scary. He plays so close to the edge of sanity. He was a madman at at the end of the game. It has to be a little intimidating seeing this crazy man gyrate and run at you. I think we were a little better off with his energy, girth and psychoticness in that situation than if Marek hadn’t fouled out.

Ha! All so true. He covers his area like a deranged condor.
