dlarry Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 A win is a win. That’s the most important thing but this game doesn’t help my confidence going forward. I really thought they were going to throttle them. The first half was nice...what happened in the second? Let’s get a win Monday then kick some ass for a few weeks!

If a 40% 3 pt shooter hits 2 in a row he'll miss 6 out of his next 8 on average. I'll take 9/4 all day long. Plus weren't we playing against a guy who is pretty good at causing turnovers and getting steals possibly the best in the country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Yuri is not in the game the offense stagnates. 9 to 4 is not terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billikenbill Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Didn’t get to watch or listen last night so watching the replay now. At the first half under 12 timeout and Bills look sharp with ball movement. Need to cut down on the risky passes and make some shots. Blake Francis, how good is that guy? Second coming of Calvin Murphy, and, of course, he airballs a three. Still, he’s gonna get paid somewhere. As expected Cayo is giving us fits early.

billikenbill Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 It’s obvious that French’s FT shooting form has improved. Instead of shotputting it, he’s getting some backbend in it. Keep that up and he might hit 50% for the rest of the year. Not sure why the offensive flow changed in the second half but the turnovers are maddening. Tied at 47-47 at this point. Francis 5-7 from the arc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perkins misses 1 before that? Unreal I had the exact same situation. Actually got me thinking....Perkins and Goodwin both miss free throws...point shaving scheme? Maybe why we've been playing so "poorly" lately? Yikes people taking this too seriously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clock_Tower Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Another good game by French who is looking more like he did last year. Improved health makes a difference for Yuri. Love the first half game plan and execution. A definite and concerted effort to pound the ball inside. And guess what, it worked. And no, I don’t expect the Travis Ford haters to notice it much less mention it. No shooting opportunities for our best outside shooter Still work to be done and improvement More poor defense by Perkins, Hargrove and Thatch but Fred redeemed that and his missed shots with a huge 3 pointer after being left alone in the corner. Game should not have been so close ... .but we are back on a roll Big game Monday !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad turnovers, sloppy defense, what some call bad coaching, can all be overcome with good shooting. Thats the one consistent thing in all the losses...poor shooting. Just get hot and we can win this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 A few observations from section 211 we gifted Richmond 3 or 4 horrible turnovers and they scored zero points on them. Think they missed a fast break layup and shot a couple of early 3s. I thought Thatch actually had a pretty poor defensive game for most of the night but then he absolutely locked Richmond down in the last 6 minutes and obviously scored some huge buckets. Credit to Ford for sticking with him Hargrove looks like he could be a corner 3 type of guy. If he hits those consistently, I can't wait to see him with a pump fake, blow by, thunderous Baseline drive dunk One play in the 2nd half, Jimerson curled around a double screen and all 3 defenders went towards him leaving the paint wide open and we got an easy layup. That's the type of effect shooters have on your offense. I do hope he plays more than 10 mins a game down the stretch here because he can shoot and he does open up the offense but Thatch and Hargrove are earning minutes too. I think you'll see some inconsistent lineups game to game to finish the season and I'm okay with that I think much of the board has been asking to play French with another big man at the same time for most of the season. It worked well last year and I was surprised to see us go away from that. I don't think you do that for 30-40 minutes but I do like those lineups to overpower teams I do think Richmond is overrated and I still don't think we played a great game last night but to me that was a huge win. We have the most talented team in the conference but we have played with no confidence lately. That needs to rebuild and then I like our chances to make a deep run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
