I hate when we (or any team) gets the ball with 50 seconds left and "milks the clock. You've gotta go quickly and get 2 possessions to their 1.
COSIGN.
You should put up a shot by at least 40 seconds = 2 for 1.
Really depends on the shot you are able to take. You don't throw up a quick bad shot to let the other team take up the entire clock and than only leave us with 5-7 seconds to throw up another quick bad shot.
If its there take it, if not run your offense.
Agreed. But you gotta try to get something going. MU was out dribbling around half court for 10-15 seconds, killing time.
Yea but you are looking at 15-18 seconds for 2 possessions. Utah State had all of their players back. They are not crashing the boards.
with no postup offense, they are a run and move team. fastbreaks, quick ball movements, drive and dish. they're not a half court, slow setup team, not with their speed.
sure it ws only the first half, but they did the same thing against 'Cuse and 'Nova at the end once they regained the lead... and lost. mentality thing, keep doing what works.

most people were pretty upset at mcneal when he did this in the villanova game... just saying. i think it is always the right decision.
