Lost another close winnable game and had no time outs at the end...Jacobson directed his team at the end with the fouls to win and we dont even get a shot off? Thats the game I watched. Granted, the effort (especially on D and on the boards) was there, this team doesn't have the confidence to close games out since the big one against Ill. -
I do not know if it is confidence, or fundamentals, or whatever. Bottom line, the team needs to figure it out and overcome that deficiency.Originally posted by Buddy Lee View PostWhen the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.Comment

Some criticize him for not taking enough time outs, others for taking too many. He can't win. I will say that he took another one last night after we made a big three, and I need someone to explain to me why we need a timeout when we have momentum. Maybe there is a good reason.Originally posted by Buddy Lee View PostComment

Agreed! The timeouts when we're starting to make runs need to stop! We are the ONLY team that does this...Originally posted by Buesch N Chips View Post

If I remember right that one was at about 17 min. of the second half too. Was trying to figure that one out myself.Originally posted by Buesch N Chips View Post
On a crushing personal note, I made a 5 dollar long shot parlay with Ohio St. and Bradley winning straight up and Kentucky thrown in for good measure. Needless to say this game stings a little more when you're a basket away from turning 5 dollars into nearly 400.Comment

I know later in the game, SM was winded and needed a break. I am not sure if this was the time you are talking about or not.
As for taking a TO when you have some momentum...I can see both sides to this. If my team is struggling a little and then makes a small run, but there are things need to be discussed, I sometimes will wait until a made basket for us. I do this to get the MO on our side as they come off the floor, something to build on!Some see a hopeless end, while others see an endless hope.Comment

Yeah I could see that. It's not like we were on a "run". We were playing pretty sloppy and couldn't get the ball in the hoop and finally made one shot. Maybe they're more likely to be upbeat & pay attention in the huddle if they feel like they are on the verge of coming back rather than when they are upset...as well as JL.Comment

I did not see the game so I will have to refer to the people that did. CB was adament that DSE should not have been whistled for the call.But then again CB like the rest of us may be bias. I'm not a big fan of Sanzare or Pollard either one. Not sure how they stay in the league.Originally posted by SaintLouBrave22 View PostComment

Could've been called in all honesty. Usually isn't when the game is on the line with about a minute left though.
Pretty much just ran in and jumped up for the ball along with 2 uni guys..he tipped it in but while jumping towards the ball he collided with a player in midair and that player fell down. Forgot who it was...maybe o'rear or something. I don't think it was an awful call....just usually it's a non-call type of situation unless it's hard.Comment

I was proud of the effort last night. Hustle for almost 40 minutes and played with wreckless abandon...almost TOO wreckless with 20 turnovers, which cost them. If they play with this intensity from here on out, good things will finally come around. They were in the game all night, which was a pleasant surprise. I haven't felt positive about a game since the NIU win. We can hope the guys don't hang their heads and regroup for Sat. for a tough game - a pivotal game - no time to sulk.Comment

It was Ahelgebe as O'Rear and Koch watched him go right around them for the tip....KA was clearly already under the basket and DSE didn't do anything that should've even remotely been considered a foul, and I guarantee if it had been on the other end, there never would've been a whistle!Originally posted by Bradleyguy10 View Post
Sanzere needs to go home and hope he doesn't get another game in Peoria...
Makes me long for the days that the PA would announce the officials before the games...Comment

Timeout
Why did Jim Les burn a timeout after a made basket in the early part of the 2nd half?
Maybe just maybe having that one time out would have helped out at the end of the game where it was a huge cluster trying to navigate their fouls and our communication from the bench on how to handle the last 20 seconds.
I have no clue why Les thinks it is a good idea to call time outs after made baskets early in half. It was not his first time he has done this and last night it really came back to bite him bigtime.Comment

I have always hated when he does this. Of course, UNI also called one right before a media TO if I remember correctly.Originally posted by houstontxbrave View PostComment

Because of the delay by the refs to check the remaining time, I think JL got the play called that he wanted. So not having a timeout probably wasn't a factor.
Jim does call timeouts after made baskets more than any college coach I can think of. It's probably from his days in the NBA, where coaches do this all the time. It's usually a move made to get a defensive set to try to get a stop or turnover.Comment

Ill buy the time with the review as enough time to get a play called. But they had 3 fouls to give before a ft. We were confused. Especially before the last foul and the time issue. We needed to take the ball directly to the lane and initate a foul, not allow them to guard us and wait for a foul.Originally posted by Da Coach View Post
They really did not have to even foul. SM was fouled 30 ft from the rim with less then 1 second to play. We were not prepared at all.
A timeout would have calmed things a bit, given a little direction. Game management, be prepared and dont burn timeouts when there is not a need or reason to burn one, and our game management was not good in the last 30 seconds.
BTW if he is still coaching college basketball off of his instincts from playing NBA basketball 20 years ago, then we really have a HUGE problem.Comment
