came down to hunt stepping out of bounds

3/7/2018 4:34:51 PM

nc state shit got personally offended at KK's scoffing. Never doubt it again.

3/7/2018 4:34:57 PM

Failure of epic fucking proportions

3/7/2018 4:34:57 PM

no situational coaching ability

3/7/2018 4:35:00 PM

Doubt Louisville would want Keatts with this shit

Negative. It came down to playing like absolute horseshit for 33 minutes of the game.

3/7/2018 4:35:50 PM

We wouldn't have needed any of those final things if the team didn't treat the last 5 minutes of the first half like it was 7th grade street ball.

3/7/2018 4:35:55 PM

Well the rest of my week just freed up a bit.

3/7/2018 4:36:40 PM

That was in no way shape or form on Keatts. He didn’t call the time out or have al throw the weakest inbounds pass ever

3/7/2018 4:36:40 PM

Yeah, and that was it. We're a 1 seed in the NIT.

3/7/2018 4:36:52 PM

Brutal, think we had a good chance with Clemson tomorrow. Oh well, remember last season guys?

3/7/2018 4:37:39 PM

good news: the damage isnt that bad. RPI 64/65, we should be fine. although dayton is a real possibility

3/7/2018 4:37:51 PM

But guys. Don't we play tuff?

3/7/2018 4:37:53 PM

Dorn didnt foul out, btw.

Biggest coaching things were playing Abu and sitting Dorn and pressing too much. We started to retreat and force them to play half court, and thats when we made the come back.

3/7/2018 4:38:32 PM

its definitely on kk.

3/7/2018 4:39:09 PM

The press was not working at all. They got to the rim at will. Really didn't need to do it.

3/7/2018 4:40:44 PM

I'll rather have Yurt in there than Abu or Freeman. He may be slow as molasses but at least he goes for rebounds.

We should still be in the tournament.

And stfu about NC state shit. It ain’t real. We played poorly for 30+ mins and had to play perfectly down the stretch to win...and obviously we didn’t play perfect down the stretch

"Dug too deep a whole" is an all time great take.

Ya see, the other team scored a lot. That was the issue.

3/7/2018 4:41:36 PM

I sincerely hope we are still good, but that was awful basketball for the most part. I’ve never wanted Abu to be replaced more than right now, too.

3/7/2018 4:42:41 PM

I realize that with a first year coach most of our success this year is just all bonus. But I'm still pretty pissed about being one and done, shot down by the fucking #12 seed. Come on!!!

The game didn't come down to Al throwing a shit inbounds. It should have never been that close. If we play even an average game the rest of the way, we blow BC out.

The game came down to sitting down Dorn for the whole first half and us pressing for the first 10 minutes of the second all while continually getting blown by. As soon as those things were rectified, we came back quickly.

3/7/2018 4:43:10 PM

no point of having rebpunding in the game if youre going to give the best scorer in the conference whatever shot he wants

Dont say that. Keatts said that and he woke the beast.

3/7/2018 4:44:11 PM

Playing bad basketball against a team with great guards isn’t a product of some mythical NC State shit.

3/7/2018 4:45:17 PM

Think and do. And count.

Frustrating as hell.

The press played right into their hands. It gave their two star guards free runs at the basket and let them get in rhythm. I know everybody loves to press, and it's keatt's thing but this is one instance we should have abandon it early.

We scored 56 points in the second half. I guess that's something. Assuming we're going to tournament, this game definitely gives Keatts some coaching points. And hopefully it's the last time Abu has to play extended minutes. Hate it for the guy, but he's almost unplayable at this point

3/7/2018 4:59:58 PM

Yeah we either need to be able to press more effectively or adjust when it’s clearly not working.

3/7/2018 5:01:56 PM

3/7/2018 5:02:07 PM

IT IS REAL

3/7/2018 5:09:07 PM

No it's not. We just played a shitty game.

3/7/2018 5:11:19 PM

PinkandBlack must be really pissed he is suspended right now. Probably has a bunch of terrible jokes lined up.

3/7/2018 5:34:43 PM

Maybe this will give us plenty of rest going into the NCAA Tournament to make a run. That is what I am hoping for anyways.

A lot of things caused this, but the worst was missing 7 in a row at the line in the second half according to the announcers. If we made even 4 of those then they are probably fouling us at the end and hoping we miss at the line.

3/7/2018 6:06:26 PM

We play BC in baseball 3 games this weekend. We'll have our revenge.

3/7/2018 6:24:18 PM

the refs were in our favor overall but the play where it was tied and the ball went off bowmans leg was so huge. bc went up 3 and we were behind the rest of the game.

not shifting or changing the press killed us. they got way too many easy baskets off the press.

and probably the 3rd game in maybe 15 that we've played a little flat. 2 out of the last 3. might be wearing down.

3/7/2018 7:16:45 PM

hedging yurt the last 2 years has been dumb. you pull him 30 feet from the basket against a driving guard and he is completely out of the play. all a team has to do is set a screen with yurts man and they get to play 5 on 4 the rest of the play.

[Edited on March 7, 2018 at 7:31 PM. Reason : i also have a feeling some sick mind is going to put us against oklahoma just to watch it burn down]

3/7/2018 7:29:53 PM

everybody still glad we were 5 instead of 2 or 3??

abu is unplayable. He absolutely killed us in the first half. 3 fouls, 3 terrible shots, missed free throws, missed rebounds. I dont understand what happened to him and i feel bad for him but he is just a huge negative right now

3/7/2018 7:48:44 PM

^^Freeman is the only one of our bigs who can hedge decently. He's got surprisingly quick feet. Yurtseven just looks pitiful doing it.

I thought the foul Beverly picked up trying to take a charge on their big guy was a big momentum swing too. 50/50 call i know, but that's a David vs Goliath situation. It gave them some mojo after we were pouring it on.

3/7/2018 7:55:24 PM

that bowman's leg play, al had a huge push off, so probably a wash on missed calls there.

refs were fine today, prob one of the better games of the year for the refs. (at least in terms of not making me mad)

3/7/2018 8:05:15 PM

Abu was always a worse basketball player than he was an athlete, and he became a worse athlete this year due to injury. Not all that shocking

The really unfortunate thing is we chose him over Gary Clark

3/7/2018 8:06:28 PM

i only caught the second half on TV, thought we looked pretty good. wtf happend in that first half? their FG% and 3pt% were uncanny

3/7/2018 10:27:53 PM

I tried to warn everyone before the game that BC was a dangerous matchup for us. We have been bad all year on defense against guards that can drive. Terrible free throw shooting and sticking with the press after they repeatedly blew past us for lay ups were backbreakers in this game.
