im not disagreeing with what you said....i was talking bigger picture with houston
byu, tulsa, cincy, smu, and now memphis we were down 1 possesion with a decent amount of time to go...every single one we ran the exact same play..run out the clock, put mills in iso for a long 2 or 3 as time ran out...all 5 ended the exact same way...my bigger point is why do we run the exact same end of game play every time, even though it never works...a better end of game situation/play for just 1 play in all of those and we potentially only have 1 or 2 losses
no one denyed memphis effort or defense...you guys played a great game... but if the shoes were flipped and you kept losing games the same way, youd note it aswell
Because Mills had hit a bunch of one of one plays tonight.
Why wouldn't you go back to essentially what has been working for you the whole night.

This all started with you looking for that magical point in the game you lost by. Precious Achiuwa made one free throw more than his average.
You know how whiny and stupid that makes you look. Maybe he made that magical free throw because it was a close game and he was more focused knowing how important every point was.
I will say this though, and I said it on the Org during the game. Memphis has this uncanny way of getting 6-8 point leads and then giving it right back. They don't know how to put their foot on their opponents throats yet. That's what you get from the youngest team in the country I guess.
Go to bed.
you missed the "magical point" i made
we lost to smu by 1, memhis by1, tulsa by 2, cincy by 2, byu by 1...we had the ball with about 25secs in each to win or tie, ran the exact same play and lost the exact same way in all...my point was that we have to find a better way to end games
memphis fan came in with..we all have "ifs"..we missed freethrows, we could have won by more..i responded to that saying you shot above your average from fts..its not really an "if" since you technically had a good freethrow game for the memphis standard ..no one makes a 100% of their freethrows....memphis fan responded that precious only made 1 more than his average...it had nothing to do with my point

we want him to shoot as much as he wants in regulation...all of us are just ready to see a different play with 30 seconds left
every single loss (except oregon) ended with a mills missed buzzer beater for a long 2 or 3...he hasnt made 1 yet ...you cant keep going to the same play when its not working
it wouldnt be a issue if it was the 1st time.. we are now 0-5....sasser made shots too, maybe give him the ball see how he does..and if it has to be mills, shoot it early in the clock and win on defense..or allow for more chances if he misses

Did you see the Memphis/Cincy game? The SMU/Memphis game we blew an 11 point lead and got outscored 16-0 to end the game?
The entire conference is beating the **** out of each other. It's a weird year.
The most consistent team is Houston. They've been healthy for the most part. No defections.
They lost a close game to a team that has had defections, and a ton of injuries that is hanging on by a thread. They had to win this game, and barely won at home.
You're still in good shape. Just let it go.

just this game, he could have played this game but the risk reward wasnt worth it for sampon with a 8 day rest right after memphis.
its not official he'll be back for cincy but he's already practicing again, i have a hard time seeing him miss a game with a full week of rest
Lolol I love “Sampon” . It’s the kelvin Samspon Tampon brand and the name of his patented defense... the slogan is “Sampon.... we stop all offensive flow”
As for UC Houston game. It’s interesting the league gave both teams a week to rest up for the game.
Unfortunately they f’ed by having us play would war 3 on Sunday then go to USF on Tuesday. Just 1 day in between

you cant expect to make 100%
Look at you. Looking at the game under a microscope to see where you can get an extra two points.
If precious went 7-12 he would have hit his average. I guess he's improving. He went 8-12. One point more.
Memphis shot 16.7 percent from behind the arc. 3 for 18. If we would have shot our average, we would have done a little better than 6 for 18 giving us 9 additional points.
Using Pesik logic we should have won 69 to 59.
Wrong!!!!!! Using Pesik logic you win 68 to 59. You still have to take away the extra free throw by Precious.
do we want to use houston averages on offense????
we are aware houston shot 34% from the field, way below our average... free throws are unguarded.....and you shot above your percentage...
but we are are well aware your defense played into our fg%..the same way our defense played into your 3pt%
same thing with Wichita in our game.. we have really tall guards, we put our really tall guards on shooters...most of your missed 3s werent even close..because it wasnt an off night it was difficultly shooting over tall players
not sure whose logic you are using, but it sure aint mine
We were throwing up bricks all afternoon. Yeah I'm sure you're holding your opponents to 16.7 percent from 3 on the season. The only guy hitting them today for Memphis is a midget. I guess your amazing length doesn't work against little dudes.
We just missed shots. We were open. Lomax missed two free throws at a crucial time and you were unable to capitalize on it.
You shot about what Memphis holds all their opponents to. We turn the ball over all the time, but we play great defense. One of the best defensive teams in the country.
And #1 in opponents' shooting percentage.

Having our defense what it is with all freshman for the most part and the missing players is nothing short of amazing. Most freshman would be much further behind on defense. Can’t imagine how good it would have been with wiseman inside. Could have approached past Virginia teams defense levels.

I just question whether Caleb isoing for twenty second before taking a difficult long two over a skilled 6'9" defender is really the play we need to run when down by only one. I'd much rather give the ball to Jarreau, attack for a quick two, try and draw a foul, and if you miss or don't get to the line you can still foul and. Or maybe have Caleb iso, draw out other teams best defender, then set an off ball screen for Sasser and get him an open jumper at the buzzer. Or run something other than iso iso, dribble dribble, contested jumper, buzzer, L. Because that's a painfully frustrating sequence to watch as a fan.

Wichita grabbing jarron around every screen. Really easy to see from the stands if you watch off the ball.
