IMO it's absurd to say McGuirl is or isn't anything when he's played like 40 minutes all season

It's factual that he hasn't spent a single second as our primary ball handler this season.

I've been very hard on Stokes the past 6 weeks. He had a really nice game. Scoring our first 7 points was big, but his 2 driving layups in the 2nd half also were hoops we needed. Nice to see #3 play well. Hope it's not a 1 game thing

That lob pass Diarra sent to Wainright from 60' was incredible

JO would have no fewer than 10 dunks per game playing with diarra and mcguirl

Even if that's true it doesn't mean that he can't or won't ever be the primary ball handler over the course of his career. He's barely played.

Y'all still trying to take my guy's scholarship, or no?

so hard to decide sometimes

edit: and this posted before he hit the side of the backboard on the corner 3 (granted, not a great pass by Diarra)

Haven't seen a double dribble in a good while

not his fault

Why did our coach tackle stokes when he was coming off the floor?

Hopefully because he declined to take the wide open corner three

"That dub drib was hilarious and it's been way too long since ive seen one so part of me enjoyed it, but it was not your fault"

michigancat · « **Reply #89 on:** March 18, 2018, 08:57:58 PM »

Was it a negative or positive tackle?

maybe his best game as a wildcat on the biggest stage imaginable.

michigancat · « **Reply #93 on:** March 18, 2018, 09:34:58 PM »

Honestly what pissed me off most about Stokes was his complete fear of attacking the basket in any way. No matter what, every catch started with a nice second and a half hesitation before looking to pass away from the basket. Ugh

That an a decent amount of this team during this game, except when we finally turned in around late in the first half, it was like we pretended their defense was an impenetrable fortress and attacking the rim was forbidden or something.

I kept yelling attack the rim. I have no idea why Oscar went slow ball against an inferior team.

An inferior team that also had a thinner bench than us and was exhausted from their previous game

Cause Barry was tired AF and carti has butterfingers so I would have much rather play at that super slow pace rather than the speed of light

Even at a slow pace we are prone to fumbling the ball over.

Overall I feel like vs. Creighton, we played to win and with gusto, we weren't perfect but we did really well, probably in the top 3 games we played in terms of being efficient, smart, and making good plays. Vs. UMBC, we played like we were scared to be the 2nd team to lose to a 16 seed, and didn't know how to handle them and the situation. Though, given how I heard that UMBC didn't even really scout us, I bet we didn't even think to do so against them either, so it was like throwing two teams into a contest they knew nothing about each other and see WTF happens. Moral of the story though is, we should've attacked the rim like we were here to collect some outstanding loans.
