Never a fan of letting teams do that. Wouldn't have been time for that shot
You give pressure coming up court to chew up time and force a tough shot.This team is so annoying
Its like this team isnt coached sometimes. How do yoi let rhem roll the ball to almost half court. Pikell has really had some brain farts at end of games.
He is not composed late in games. Misses free throws, turns the ball over, has lapses in judgment on defense that he normally wouldn’t.Defensive player of the year McConnell sure makes some terrible decisions on defense. Also why was the in bounder not covered?
And that was directly on Spencer. Instead of denying him and make someone else shoot it he decided to try for a steal on the guy with the ball and left him all alone. Not very smart.And if anyone but Battle shoots i can live with that.
Caleb stopped his man driving. He doesn't need help. Cam left his man when he shouldn't have. A contested long 2 with Caleb on him was the shot we wanted to forceDefensive player of the year McConnell sure makes some terrible decisions on defense. Also why was the in bounder not covered?
That was a big mistakeAnd that was directly on Spencer. Instead of denying him and make someone else shoot it he decided to try for a steal on the guy with the ball and left him all alone. Not very smart.
Definitely should have had at least token pressure. That was dumb.yep Purdue did like 99% of the teams should do it...yeah they had 4.4 instead of 5.8 but it was a wild desperation court from half court not a comfortable step in wide open 3
All they needed to do is have McConnell stay where he was after hitting the free throw. Automatically wastes an additional 1-1.5 seconds. Battle either shoots quickly and contested or Cooper has to make something happen.Definitely should have had at least token pressure. That was dumb.
I don’t get it. So simple. No downside.All they needed to do is have McConnell stay where he was after hitting the free throw. Automatically wastes an additional 1-1.5 seconds. Battle either shoots quickly and contested or Cooper has to make something happen.
You are clueless . Caleb was not the culpritDefensive player of the year McConnell sure makes some terrible decisions on defense. Also why was the in bounder not covered?
He had no lapse on defense. 2 other guys did.He is not composed late in games. Misses free throws, turns the ball over, has lapses in judgment on defense that he normally wouldn’t.
You must have missed the ball rolling to half court and him deciding not to help on the 3 after Cam flew by on the last possessionHe had no lapse on defense. 2 other guys did.
not anymore...coaches these days leave the game in their experienced players hands, in case they need that canned excuse. we saw it all the time last year with iso-Geo.Basic stuff. That’s on the coaches.
Battle made 3 pointers in the last 43 seconds and has by far taken and made the most 3 pointers for Minnesota. Someone should have kept a close eye on him.And if anyone but Battle shoots i can live with that.
Congrats, this is the most incorrect assumption of the nightnot anymore...coaches these days leave the game in their experienced players hands, in case they need that canned excuse. we saw it all the time last year with iso-Geo.
takes pressure off them. deflects.
What? Caleb was no where near that guy. He was on his man. Just like Spencer should have been.You must have missed the ball rolling to half court and him deciding not to help on the 3 after Cam flew by on the last possession
