Title: We had a better shooting percentage, a better free throw percentage...... Post by: droner on February 22, 2020, 08:08:24 EST ……....We had more rebounds. And we still lost.

Post by: volsboy on February 22, 2020, 08:11:13 EST When we had the lead in second half, I thought we were going to win going away. TO's are the devil. Pearl just coaches with more intensity and it shows in his team. I thought we had it though.

I've never seen so many turnovers. Title: Re: We had a better shooting percentage, a better free throw percentage...... Post by: Black Diamond Vol on February 22, 2020, 08:19:35 EST The starting PG should be in high school right now. Comes with the territory.
But I still think this team looks primed for a huge rebound season next year. Title: Re: We had a better shooting percentage, a better free throw percentage...... Post by: VinnieVOL on February 22, 2020, 08:37:00 EST How about a timeout, Rick?

Title: Re: We had a better shooting percentage, a better free throw percentage...... Post by: SmokeyJoe on February 22, 2020, 09:16:32 EST Never felt confident, but was beginning too. Gaines & Johnson looked decent today. Fulky exposed. JJJ sucked. Pons with 3 in & outs & bad mistakes in the second half. Oh & the turnovers :banghead:
Title: Re: We had a better shooting percentage, a better free throw percentage...... Post by: murfvol on February 22, 2020, 11:19:35 EST Glad to see Bowden have a good game. I live Rick, but he isn't outcoaching Pearl, or any of the top tier down the stretch.

Welcome to the club! :naughty: Title: Re: We had a better shooting percentage, a better free throw percentage...... Post by: BanditVol on February 23, 2020, 11:06:14 EST No excuses for blowing a 17 point lead in the second half.
Barnes slowed down play way too early. TnPhil observed this in a different game a couple weeks ago (SC I think), but it was obvious that it ruined the rythm of the team. They were scoring almost at will but started milking the clock with like 10-12 minutes left Way too early! No sooner did they milk the clock than missed shots and TOs proliferated. Barnes really needs to go back, watch the film from both those games, and keep the pedal to metal till at least 5 minutes left, or 2-3 if its a tight lead. If a one point lead, only milk it under a minute maybe. Clark Kellog also commented that he didn't like the slow down. I agree! Hope to never see that again. If I do I am going to Twitter-bomb Barnes and the entire team. :naughty: Title: Re: We had a better shooting percentage, a better free throw percentage......

But he was the wrong guy at the wrong time yesterday. We went on our big run in the first half when he went to the bench early with two fouls. It was a smaller, quicker lineup, and AU had no answers for it. When he came back after halftime, we went back to our normal plodding style, and they were quite prepared to defend that. And it didn’t help that SV spent most of the 2nd half on the bench with foul trouble. Title: Re: We had a better shooting percentage, a better free throw percentage......

There was still a deliberate slow down, or at any rate the commentor mentioned it and it sure seemed that way to me also. Deliberately bouncing the ball near the half court more than they needed to, extra passes, etc. I am sure Fulky and the foul trouble for SV contributed, but it seemed very deliberate to me. And way way too early. Nothing wrong with running the clock, but not with 12 minutes left, at AUBURN of all teams (well known for shooting threes). |
