Final: USF 61 Bradley 57

[Da Coach]

As soon as walt understands its a team sport, and not 1 vs 5, we will have a chance ro win some games.

But it seems that is what the coaches are calling- they had a timeout to call some drawn-up play in the final minute, but still everything is the same- Walt 1 on 5.
The team played well, and came back in the first half when they could have gotten blown out.
Pickett & Lemon scored 33 of Bradley's 57 points, and took 30 of Bradley's 52 shots.

Anyone want to guess what was the deal with Omari Grier? He did not get off the bench until after 10 minutes were played in the first half, and sat a lot of the second half, too. He's been our best shooter.

BU might have one less season ticket holder next year.

I'm not shocked you would say that based on most of your posts.

Turned the game on when we had a 5 point lead with just a few minutes to go. Awful hard to listen to. Glad I didn't have to watch it.

Its the end of the game/ 1 vs 5/ dribble into traffic/ face first into charges my 86 year old grandmother would have called that must end.

I'm sure the calls are to get the ball to Ty and Walt. The problem is.....Dont force it.

Not sure what was up with Omari??¦he didn't make a shot though??¦We played better team ball in the first half but not the 2nd. Walt will not trust his teammates with shot clock winding down or in the guts of the game??¦.at this time of the year that's on Geno IMO??¦

Wells had a dunk and a block in close sequence??¦.but other than that he's slow to react in the lane defensively. He's got a great attitude, tries hard, and everyone wants him to do well but he's pretty limited IMO

Thought the 1st 10 minutes of the game was same ol, same ol from what we've seen this month. Geno took 2 timeouts to try and get the guys going and during the next 20-25 minutes we looked as good as we have all year. It looked like we had some new offensive sets that we ran. Walt was very patient in running the offense and we actually made some 3 point shots. We even had a 5 point lead with the ball 3 times around the 6 minute mark but couldn't convert. Then Walt reverted back to form and from there the offense was just throw it up and hope. And can somebody, anybody explain to me why we don't have an inbounds play of any kind when we're inbounding it from under our basket. I've never seen a team have more trouble getting the ball inbounds. Other teams can score easy baskets on inbounds plays. Why can't we? For the most part I liked our effort. It was the execution that sometimes left something to be desired. The Valley season is now upon us. Hopefully we can press the reset button and start over.

Have to disagree.....XT had a poor game with the ankle, Blake gives you nothing at the 5......Wells gave the team a spark, had 4 rbs and made SF bigs works to get the ball...I M O he should get in the games before Prosser or Blake get off the bench!

[Big Mike]

Now on the inbounds plays, why is Barnes in bounding the ball? He is without a doubt the softest passer on the team and tonight was not the 1st time his inbound pass was stolen!

[Big Mike]

I think both Wells and Swopshire will get better with more playing time and could help out down the road......a three here and there....a block, a rebound, a nice screen....there is hope!

They have earned some minutes.....I was looking for some minutes from Fields but I do not recall him getting in?

[Da Coach]

Yeah Mike, there is simply no excuse for these issues this late in the season, and especially with all the time between games this month to work on these specific plays.

By the way, the missed dunk by Ka'Darryl Bell turned out to be very costly. Not only did he miss the dunk, a USF player chased down the rebound and then Bell immediately fouled him and he made both free throws. It was a 4 point swing that really hurt them.

I agree on the Bell play??¦??¦we aren't good enough to overcome missing easy layups

maybe??¦.but I gotta feeling if Nate plays more he'll just foul more??¦..he was pretty slow reacting in the paint??¦.I agree he's not bad straight up defending but when he has to react to help??¦he's pretty slow it seems??¦.not that the other guys do well on help either but Taylor has the ability to move??¦so does Blake although Blake is a liability offensively

Fields didn't play at all??¦??¦and we didn't have a good sequence when Walt was out either..maybe around the 7 minute mark???¦..and when Walt came back he didn't play well at all to finsih the game
