sucked in to the tempo
and never shot their way out of it. If Arizona had anyone who could have hit the outside shot with any kind of regularity, maybe we see a different story. There were plenty of open three’s to be taken, just not that many made.
Was surprised that Lavender didn’t get a chance to make more of an impact but then again, you have to shoot it when you’re open, if you don’t get open….ahhh well, was simply fortunate to not break the TV while watching the game.
I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused....
This was a basketball IQ game
We got exposed (again). These kids just haven’t played together, and we’re not explosive enough to just shoot their way out of confusion. We have to grind. We can’t really force a quicker tempo. OSU kept switching defenses, and you could see the guys trying to calculate the 2nd derivative of something, all while running around. On offense, OSU hit some tough looks but mostly they Princeton’d our guys to death. The more we extended our D the easier their backdoor cuts became. The cherry on top is that Nic played the worst game I can remember since he was a chunky freshman. My hope is that this is as bad a loss as we’ll see this season, because it was bad.
On a related note, how awful is the Pac 10 this year? This loss probably isn’t even among the worst five. This OSU team got mopped by Seattle University. Sometimes—most of the time—the conference thing is waaayyyyy overplayed. But, this Pac 10 basketball season is just tragic.
