The one time we want Joe to have the ball

[Cuse_NYC]

He doesn’t. Pathetic last possession. And out of a timeout…

 

[Cstate]

Our 1st rounder had it instead….twice no less

 

[Cuse181]

Judah is not the late game guy

 

[Orangefan1]

Why didn’t joe dribble the ball down the court

 

[Jake]

The next to last possession we looked soooo unorganized. Cope and Jessie were confused and Judah telegraphed a pass that wasn’t there

That was the killer possession.

Joe bringing the ball up the court would not have been a great idea against ball pressure. Judah needed to get better penetration. The design was for a kick out to a shooter.

Bottom line Jake!!

 

[Manleymen]

Judah had a bad look trying to blame Jesse for his own bad pass. Not a good look. Jesse had to foul out on top of that play.

I'm good with Mintz having the ball there, but he needs to take it to the hole, not take a contested 3. We were only down by 2.

 

[EnviroSciGuy]

Our guys played hard, but at the end the execution just wasn't there. Judah is a talent, but he needs some seasoning. It looked like some of the guys were getting frustrated with him in the second half. Too much hero ball in both halves.

The missed dunk was a 4 point turnaround. Lay the efffing ball in the basket

 

[Cuse_NYC]

Yeah that has to be a drive to score or drive to dish situation. That ain’t Melo out there…

He’s not a PG. I get frustrated at times watching him when he doesn’t see open shooters.

Undeniably talented. Gonna need some time to get a better feel for the game, though. And by time I mean he’d need to come back next season. Longshot.

I turned the game off for a while after that play

 

[orangezen]

That missed slam dunk was a killer didn’t need a grand stand play just score

 

[690West]

Jim just said “when you’re 15% from three maybe you stop shooting threes”

I could’ve sworn in the old days you could tell a player no more threes and they were compelled to listen.

 

[OptimusOtto]

Our late game execution has been miserable all year. Much different vibe if we pull this off plus Bryant and St. John’s. I know it’s a young team but that’s on the staff.

 

[Lukeyloo]

Judah seemed to play a different game than he’s been playing lately. Have to wonder if it was because it was against Pitt. Like he had extra motivation to show out, but it proved to be a detriment to the team.

He ain't wrong.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Judah did a lot out there tonight, but his missed free throws, missed dunk, and decision making down the stretch is a big reason we lost.

 

[UpstateSM]

Judah isn’t a pure point guard but our roster construction has been garbage for five years. Our forwards throw better entry passes to Jesse but you can’t have the ball in their hands in that situation, I guess.

You’d hope they would but now they just transfer.

The bigger issue is that coming out of a timeout twice our offensive possessions were horrific. Mintz needs the ball in his hands but that turnover to Jessie then the off balance 3 with 2 seconds left are exactly what you don't want. I am sure we drew up something different but late game execution the last few years has been god awful. JB has to do a way better job practicing these situations

 

[oTTo113445]

Aggressive is usually the best option. Especially when your coming back. Slowing down the ball and Throwing into a double in a spot that's really tough to make a post move ouch. Copeland Wow! Girard super Tough!!!

Taylor/Copeland were the only wings who didn't have any(I think) let alone multiple 3s shot over them today in the halfcourt. At one point we missed 3 straight free throws.

I would love to see an SWC75 breakdown of close games/final possessions the past few years. It "feels" like we lose almost all of these. Would be great to see an analysis.
