ECU game thread
- Thread starter nevadanatural
- Start date
Despite 12 turnovers in the first half we’re still up by 3. Heck of a half by PJ with 12 points, 3 boards and 3 assists with the ECU defense focusing on him early.
Recruiting found good free throw shooters but pitiful handlers and passers. A lot of that should have been taught in high school. Makes us appreciate Pooh Williamson who went through 3 NCAA Tournament games one year without a turnover. (UCLA, OSU , and Arkansas. )
When Carlous jumped and tried to pass the ball to Cobe in the corner and it was easily caught by an ECU player I had a flashback to the 4th grade game I just finished coaching earlier this afternoon.
It is frustrating at that level, it is comical at the collegiate level.
I am hopeful we are going to get the road win monkey off our back today though!
PJ was 6 of 7 that first half and the miss was halfway down and popped out. I don’t know if you can call him a great shooter but he’s an elite scorer.
Oddly enough in practice this summer I felt P. j. Might be our best 3 point shooter. I didn’t see all this “and one” game which is the best in the NCAA.
Statistically doing well except getting to the line, turnovers, steals, and points in the paint.
I think a lot of our turnover issues, not all of them of course, are due to the relative youth of our team. If we can hold them together I think those stars will improve next year.
Right now you look at the stat leader in points, rebounds and assists it reads Haggerty, Haggerty, Haggerty.
I didn’t say all but that last one by Hall and one earlier by Archie are prime examples of young players not knowing where to go with the ball
Now we’re the ones missing the bunnies and they’re hitting the tough ones. We’re only shooting 30% this half.
Weird. We were down 14 to Memphis but it didn’t feel out of hand, we are down 4 here and it feels too steep a hill to climb.
Chris and I were just texting and he commented that schools were going to throw a lot of money his way after the season ends.
