Vandy game

[parabrave]

Halftime. 36-35 good guys. we are shooting lights out. however they have made 7 3s, out of 18, and we have made 2, out of 4. We have 9 To's. though.

[parabrave]

Great drive by Tolu

[R2Dawg]

This team is very good; we don't have to wait to next year to make a run.

[Lord McBuckethead]

This has been a very well played game. Now we see if we have a killer instinct.

[Lord McBuckethead]

The refs continuously bail them out down low.

[Lord McBuckethead]

D smith gets raped. No call.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I hope Molinar gets two more rebounds for the double double.

[DDawg]

I really love how this team is playing, seems like we are gelling more every game. We seem so much more organized and consistent than the teams I?ve watched past few years. Stewart and Molinar have great b-ball iqs and know how to lead. Also love the effort we are putting in on defense and down low.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Ref just gave vandy two points. That was a clean block by ado.

[R2Dawg]

Good game till refs took it over for Vandy in the last 5 min.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Molinar getting hacked in a trap. No call. We have to use our last TO.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Good game till refs took it over for Vandy in the last 5 min.

Exactly. Two of the last 5 called were absolutely ridiculous

[Joebob]

Someone said a couple weeks ago the Ado was a foul machine. That's the most correct thing I've ever read on this board. He has absolutely no self awareness.

[KOdawg1]

I like this team a lot, but it takes us too long to make offensive adjustments.

Vandy has had this full court press on for awhile now, but we're still struggling with it. Ole Miss will pull out the 1-3-1 when we play them, and we'll look like we've never seen it before.

Still looks like we'll close this one out though. Good job on the road.

[parabrave]

Dam got to make those esp with the way Vandy hitting the 3.

[parabrave]

Big dunk Ado

[R2Dawg]

Another BS call

[Lord McBuckethead]

Pippen JR lowered his shoulder twice, to get a foul called. 17n refs.

[R2Dawg]

Refs stealing the game from us.

[Lord McBuckethead]

So an arm lock is a jump ball now. Good to know.

[R2Dawg]

Walked a mile and no call

[R2Dawg]

Vandy cant miss combined with ref help.

[KOdawg1]

I spoke too soon. Good grief.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Wow. We refuse to close out a game.

[PGHBulldogBG]

We can?t win games unless we are up by 10 plus with 2 minutes left. About our only chance because we can?t defend 3s and can?t make free throws

[parabrave]

come on guys we need to make all FTs in the last 14. We cannot stop Pippen Jr.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Possession arrow to Vandy.

[Lord McBuckethead]

You telling me, no time ran off.

[parabrave]

Xrap

[maroonmania]

Vandy cant miss combined with ref help.

Basketball is just so determined by ref calls. Last 3 minutes everytime Vandy has shot its been a foul. And they actually make their free throws. We lose this one again it will be due to missed free throws. Luckily we just got a steal.

[parabrave]

Thank you PPippen.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Fantastic call by Holland on the press.

[RocketDawg]

You telling me, no time ran off.

The actually added a tenth after the inbound and foul.

[parabrave]

Matthews comes through.

[RocketDawg]

-3 was right on.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright. Howland made a great call on the press coming out of the TO.

[maroonmania]

Of course we had to miss another one on that last free throw just to make it dramatic on the last shot. Free throwing will continue to haunt us in any close games this year. We really have nobody we can trust at the line.

[AROB44]

Without Ado, we lose this game. Just don't understand the complaining about him.

I used to coach YMCA 12 year olds that shot better FT?s than we do. I don?t understand it, especially since crowds are not an issue this year.

Been saying it for a while now, we are gonna miss him when he is gone. Ado is a force in the middle. MSU has had some good ones.

[Ari Gold]

Because we have low IQ basketball fans.
Yes Ado is very frustrating on the offensive end it is what it Is... but I wouldn’t take another big game in college ball over him on the defensive side.

[Ari Gold]

Matthews comes through.


Once he develops offensively he is going to be really good.. his ability to defend , and be in the right position on defense is very rare for a true freshman..

Sometimes no crowd makes it more difficult, and yes we need to shoot free throws better more so at end of games to close out teams
But we are shooting 73% from the line in league play ... thats pretty good

Our biggest issue is we aren't really making them consistently at the end of games when we are trying to put teams away. Its just going to be a liability of this team going forward because they aren't just going to wake up one morning and magically be good free throw shooters. Hopefully we do enough in the other facets of the game that we don't drop too many at the end because of missing free throws. We were very fortunate we forced some turnovers yesterday because in the last 4 minutes Vandy did not miss a free throw or a 3 pointer.
