Oso planning to go pro
MU up 55-45Butler makes a two, cuts it to eight.Every single MU possession from that point on was milking the clock down to two/three seconds and having mainly Carlino chuck up a long jump shot. The possessions:-Carlino miss a three-Carlino made a three (a bomb)-Duane miss a long jumper-Carlino miss a three-Derrick miss a long jumper-Derrick pass tp Carlino in corner, turnover.That's three points in final four minutes. Some might say it was the offensive boards, being done by 19 to 10 and 48 to 33 overall.Some might say they ran out of gas, Taylor didn't play at all after one and JJJ nothing late.But the coach is the one who calls the plays and having Derrick dribble on top, watching the clock and waiting for Carlino to be open with seconds left, is just abit mind boggling. They play scared the last four minutes and were hoping to just hold on. Nothing inside to Fischer, just checkups at end of shot clock.Some will say Wojo is not the one wearing the uniform, etc, so be it, but he and his staff manage the game and instruct them what to do. Today, that management did not work. Shame, because these kids need to win one of these some day.
Lost cause this year, pure and simple.Not the first time Wojo has gone way too conservative with a manageable lead. You have to attack the basket until the other guy screams and then jam it down his throat.We don't, we lose.Lost cause!!!!!
Lost cause "this year" ? That's Bs. Right now it's just a lost cause with coaching like that. The team had the game won and in hand. A series of poor coaching decisions led to the loss. Led to many losses this year. Hopefully the coaching staff turns it around next year as well because they are as much to blame as the players for this one.
When we start winning next year it is going to taste that much sweeter!
Way to go Wes!
