Go for a quick 2 here and then foul.

 

[sleeperpick]

It always is. To be fair he covered well on that one but we haven’t been able to rebound defensively all half for whatever reason

Yea he covered super well there… what are you talking about. The guy got to the exact spot he wanted and bricked the shot

He contested well but his man goes wherever he wants all night and that kills us.

pretty amazing that for all his points and minutes, Cooper somehow has zero boards.....

Least of our problems tonight.

 

[Herndon]

Good for them, hit their ft's down the stretch.

Doesn't bum me at all. It feels good to finally feel like it wouldn't shock me to see us win any game on the schedule again. It's been a LONG time.

 

[Quentin Daniels]

Gotta shoot it if they try to foul early

 

[He15man]

I'm sure it has already been said on here numerous times.... i'm just getting online here while watching this play out... but man, I just have not been able to get over how recklessly our guys have handled/passed the ball and essentially given UW at least 16 easy points. Turnovers... absolutely killers. I hope KE does whatever it takes to get this resolved because the TOs have been noticeable these past few games.

Yeah. Good fight. But giving up those two big runs, one in each half, off turnovers, is what killed us in this one.

 

[Irish44j]

uh....WTF.

 

[gmutom]

Don’t rule out a play to get Oduro a 3 here. They will be overplaying our guards.

 

[Irish44j]

The fact that this game is so close even with GM playing badly does give some hope for later in the season if we can get the turnover problem dealt with a bit.

 

[Haxormax]

how do you people have hope? I saw a bunch of kids who were careless with the ball.

 

[He15man]

Turnovers are the story of this game. If we don't turn the ball over with sloppy passes and give them easy fast break dunks/lay-ups, we win this game. Very simple.

 

[Irish44j]

Great idea, give it to the shortest guy on the court when everyone is getting face coverage. I liked gmutom's idea much better.

 

[sleeperpick]

Jamal getting blocked and Kathy McKay ending the night as obnoxious as she began are just fitting. Wins are gravy this year because we have a good coach and some nice pieces here and coming in this year but damn everyone DP recruited sans Oduro still left on this roster absolutely sucks.

 

[MasonSAE4]

Wonder if the

he looks like he weighs about 150. It's no surprise he gets knocked over easy by bigger bodies. They're probably not flops...

He went all the way across the court on his a** like he was shot out of a cannon after a guy did a spin move. 100% a flop. Also, he’s gotten dinged for it three straight games by three different ref crews.

 

[Patriotsince81]

Tough loss. Gave up 70+ for the first time this year. Points off of our turnovers lost the game.

 

[He15man]

how do you people have hope? I saw a bunch of kids who were careless with the ball.

I'm with you in the the turnovers were/are infuriating... but we're only 6 games into the season. There's lots of time to fix this problem, and with this coaching staff, I actually have faith they will. What we do in conference play is most important.

 

[Patriot Lawdog]

Yea, I will say UW hit all their FTs down the stretch. That’s rare, but solid… Also smart strategy to foul because Cooper was open.
