This one is all on buzz - horrible coaching.  Why the hell are we taking the air out of the ball every possession?

BUZZ blew this one.

Is it just me or did every player on the floor look like they were trying to draw a foul more than run any offense?  The last Buycks play was complete BS...what the hell was he thinking?

This one's on Buzz.  You don't go into a shell that early ESPECIALLY on the road.

I don't mind burning some clock, but when you initiate the offense with 5 seconds left on the clock and we're chucking up prayers....wow.  Start attacking with 12 seconds or so.

That was an epic fail.

Its OK to take the air out of the clock, but you can't wait until there are 5 seconds left to start your offense 40 feet from the basket.

This one's on Buzz  and Buycks for that ill-timed drive that lost the game

Why?  You've built an 18-point lead by taking it to the basket and being aggressive.  Why back off, pass up open shots, etc.  Stick wih what got you the lead.  This is Buzz's MO - he goes into a shell everytime he get a big lead.

Start with 20 on the shot clock, kill a little time but plenty of time to get a good shot.

We've seen this time and again. We cannot run out the clock with 5 minutes left. Our offense after a timeout was atrocious. This one is on Buzz and our leadership on the court was absolutely unacceptable. Again we leave a man absolutely open under the basket to beat us. Buycks gave them the opportunity with a terrible choice. This is a sad dat for the program. Will we learn from this or just turn the page without cleaning up our bad game management?
