The last three minutes were an exercise in fear, the Cats just about blew it again. They look like they are terrified to make an move in the last few minutes.
agreed, nobody wants the ball in the last minutes. They seem to clam up, miss easy shots and make stupid turnovers late. Cant put the nail in the coffin like other great /good teams. Plus why is it that every time the team we play has a lights out game from the 3 point line?
Agreed Marc, we look totally confused, I don't know how we'd fare against a team applying real pressure.
They make 3's because they have WIDE OPEN looks! We have too many players that do not get out or lose their man in the switch.
Also, Harrellson spends WAY too much time going out to get the big man and NEVER get's back to his man when the roll off the pick comes. I cannot understand why he can't get this done. Surely Cal has taught this.
I'm telling you I'd be pulling my hair out if I had to sit on the bench and watch this happen OVER and OVER. It drives me nuts from the couch!
I'm beginnnig to wonder if these guys just have a low basketball IQ and just can't get what Cal wants, or shudder to think that we're not teaching basic basketball.
