Allows a guy to get by him for a putback off a missed FT and then inbounds the ball to the other team. Singlehandedly tried to give the game to Pitt. Felt like I was watching that loss to St John's 4 years ago all over again

I'm not sure putting Sanders on the inside to rebound was
a smart choice either,,i can't remember him ever in that responsibility.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Mick took David N. out after that dunk I assume because he wanted free throw shooters on the floor but it seemed odd and I hope it is not repeated.

Nyarsuk was playing great and on a roll, then Mick took him out. I thought it was odd.

He did the exact same thing to Cash after he hit a 3, SK when he hit some FT's and Rubles when he made a big bucket. MC doesn't seem to be big on momentum. But what the hell it worked I guess.

Couldn't understand the substitution when Rubles and Nyarsuk were playing great.
Guess Mick wanted experience down the stretch rather than staying with the guys who were getting it done.
Glad it worked out ok but UC gave up a decent lead in a matter of seconds based on the fresh guys that came in.
It almost came back to bite them in the a$$.
Great road win after a horrible first half.

I got that Mick wanted 5 guards for offense, but you can wait until after the second free throw...if it goes down you can sub if not call a TO.

I think Parker should have been down there over Sanders.

Glad I wasn't the only one that saw all that. Seemed like as soon as one of our guys got on a little roll, he was benched. Did like how Mick was giving the main guys that little extra break right before TV timeouts though. A combination of smart and strange that worked out in the end.

I think it may have been a conditioning issue with Nyarsuk as to why he got pulled. He had just expended a bunch of energy in the sequence before. I doubt if he has the ability to go for long stretches.

Guys looked tired was my guess.

Momentum isn't real. Its a narrative created by humans that don't understand math.

To me (and I would love to hear Mick talk about it because I didn't agree with the decision either) it seemed like Mick wanted free throw shooters in the game. But off the top of my head Rubles and Jackson seem to be just as reliable from the stripe as Jermaine. He just doesn't get there enough and still seems to lack confidence.

Anyway, love an opportunity to show that momentum isn't real...

Momentum is real, intangible but real. Santa is real too, get over it.

Momentum is real...ethereal but real

or at least it's perceived to be real...and preception IS reality to most

What drives me nuts about Jermaine is the lack of confidence on the court. How does an acclaimed player from NYC lack confidence??

If he'd just settle down and play I still think he becomes a double-digit scorer at some point in his UC career.

I agree. I expected so much more out of Sanders based on his high school background achievements. And like you, I don't see the confidence I thought I would see from him.

Cash had nothing left, he signaled twice to the bench for a sub.

will you guys get off Cronin's junk....he didn't press because he didn't think it was a good idea in this game; he subbed people because he felt subs needed to be made. good lord man

After hearing nonstop praise this offseason about Sanders, I am thoroughly disappointed in his play. He is extremely slow and it seems he lacks athleticism and coordinated. One good thing about him is still his potential because of his smooth shot, which again still hasnt translated to game days. But I dont really see the comparison to Bishop. Although Bishop did make some bonehead mistakes, his athleticism and all around play is miles above what sanders has shown so far.

I think we just need to give Sanders a chance. Even though he was from nYC, i don't remember him being highly recruited. Seemed like more of one of mick's under the rAdar types. Now he is buried on the depth chart behind Parker and Shaq.

But he is a big, strong guard who can shoot it a little bit and can bang down low. I hearken back to his great effort against Oklahoma last year when he played on the baseline in that zone and did a tremendous job rebounding and cleaning up garbage when Gaines was in foul trouble. I think he also had a really nice game against Texas in the tourney...

I expect him to emerge next year as a solid contributer off the bench.
