WSU at SMU Game Thread

[XManCometh]

The major problems with this team are a few things:

1) Nobody can drive the paint so Gregg's offense doesn't work

2) Everyone is too unselfish outside of Stephenson and he is the most streaky shooter on the team

3) Gregg never calls time outs and so games just snowball with this team. They're not Fred and Ron who can just fight through adversity

4) If Jaime isn't out there we have no offense at all because of #1

5) We can't defend drives without fouling

That's just a few. Gregg needs to full court press all game and hope to force turnovers and get in transition. He refuses to do it until the last 3-4 minutes. I can guarantee if we're down 10+ with under 4 left today and he presses finally we'll cut it to a 2 possession game at least.

Stevenson needs to ride the bench.

His defense is almost as negative as his offense.

[ShockerFever]

Well hey.. at least we likely have more than 1 home game left

Is this where some pumper comes in and says an NIT Championship is better than losing in the first round of the NCAAs?

[Dan]

if we could get better players, we'd already have them

And therein lies the concern.

[im4wsu]

You draw up a play that gets you a high percentage shot?

21 percent is not high

[ShockRef]

Convince me with statistics how calling a timeout makes poor shooting better

If you are running the same **** every time down the floor and its not working, how about a T/O and talk bout a different set or approach???
No, lets just sit and watch them go 16-1 and keep doing the exact same fricking thing 10 straight trips down the floor.

Brilliant...makes sense to me!

Total bullshit.

That is all.

[BostonWu]

Coaches and players look like they want no more of this miserable season to continue.

[Aargh]

Houston has 5 So's and 3 Fr, so I guess it is possible to win with a lot of Fr and So.

[Shox The Revenant]

I think it’s confirmed, we are not an NCAA Tournament caliber team. If the what if’s and maybes stop, that’d be great.

If someone says that, that’s some Doug McDermott level stupid.

[capnkirk]

We need to full court press the whole second half. Just keep rotating in fresh players. Need to change up what doesn’t work........

And a very good in game coach...

If the set hasn’t been practiced, it would do no good. If it is in the playbook, call out the play and run it. There’s no dirt to scribble a new offense in the huddle

If these guys have any bball sense, they could run it. If HS coaches can, then HCGM can too.
