Lando Griffin Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 1 minute ago, dlarry said: Okoro had two awful plays at the end but his second half other than that wasn’t his fault. He was dominating and the TEAM choose not to use him offensively. First play of the half should have gone on the block to Okoro and let him work until they proved they could stop him. I It’s literally coaching 101. If they can’t stop him keep feeding him the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he usually has the courtesy to do it in the first half. The TO on the rebound I can’t excuse. But I think the second one is is shot attempt that he missed? I would blame Travis first off cause it’s the same old song and dance of a pick and roll and no other offensive plan in crunch time. If we are running stuff through Okoro when we need a bucket, I think it tells us all we need to know about how competent our coach is at actually “coaching” Xs and Os. gobillsgo likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgstl Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Difference between this and Iona is Iona we attempted 19 3s, we won tonight if we attempted JUST 19 3s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLU was up 8 in second half, never could shake F, got outhustled. Hard disagree. We played hard but our guys are constantly deployed to accentuate their weaknesses and minimize their strengths. That's on the coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okoro was best of a bad bunch tonight, but he still was bad when it came down to the wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perkins, Yuri, Sincere back to back to back like clockwork. No sets, just panicking. Did we score in the last 3 minutes? Id rather hoist 30 footers Panic is spot on. They absolutely panic. That’s on the players but mostly on the coach for somehow failing to recognize this (how!?) and not point this out and adjust. Shame because Ford had been masterful at his 2nd half adjustments the past 4 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah running the offense through our bigs at the top of the key is so dumb. You’d think we had Nikola Jokic out there based on our system. But Okoro and Forrester are basically walking turnovers out top. couple that with how quick the hands of the Fordham guards were, as well as all the hand checks/ holds they got away with, it was always a recipe for disaster.

It’s like everyone except Ford and the players can see that it isn’t working. And you need to make threes to come back late. Did we even shoot any??

wgstl Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 The game felt over when THJ fumbled the rebound on the front end of the 1 and 1. It just felt like yep, it’s gonna finish out as a wtf game willie likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I’d have been okay if he drew 5 fouls bc you kept feeding him and he end up getting charges. Just feed Okoro the ball. Did Ford just not watch the game?
