Not an UnderStatenment, Cats take a turnover for the worse; WVU 2 ADV

[kso_FAN]

Got a lot of good looks today. I wish we tried to run more often.

Also, this team is perfectly fine at close games. OSU and OU were very nice close wins.

True, it generally evens out.

[EMAWzified]

Win close games at home, lose them on the road. Who wouldn't expect this. Seriously, the Cats talent doesn't separate from any team in the league except TCU.

This is oscar Weber.  Enough talent to be respectable at home.  Will not win on the road

the perfect post

You don't get to be quantified as perfectly fine at close games if you can't win any of them on the road. Not saying the final script is written for this team but that's what it is right now.

I think we might have won today. I was just looking at our remaining schedule on the official site, and it says that we beat WVU 71-81 today. Nice.

Doesn't anyone want to talk about this? Our official site says we won. Why keep arguing amongst ourselves?

Does this game even qualify as a close game? We lost by 10. I mean, I realize it was closer than the final score, but if I'm just looking at scores and putting stats together, I'm not sure I count this one as close.

I suppose it was close since we had a chance to tie or take the lead late but you do have a well made point that in this game and the ISU game we spent the entirety of the second halves down and down big at points.


that was a hell of a run-on

[kso_FAN]

I suppose "close" is relative, but possessing the ball with less than 3 minutes to go and within 3 points seems like you are in a winnable game to me. Of course, I also agree with oscar that poor play in the first half is just as important to losing these games as individual plays after the under 4 timeout.

"perfectly fine" and "not saying the final script is written" are really just two slightly different ways of saying the same thing.

I can't believe Frank lost some home games 2 years ago!!!!! Now the Frankites are upset at oscar? What the heck guys? #daxlogic

[Lefty]

throw data out the window when you have a point guard in a tight game slugfest. they had one, we didn't. ours isn't ready for big time ballgames yet. we had shane dribbling and trying to create in crunch time. that doesn't work.

Frank had Denis and Pullen. We won the majority of games because of those two. Not necessarily Frank.

oscar's point (jevan) isn't ready yet. When he is, we'll start winning those games.

Angel wins that game. easily.

wtf???

you said they are perfectly fine in close games, I politely said they blow in close games but have the opportunity to get better

Today was the first time we crapped the bed down the stretch since N. Colorado.  Losing at ISU and UT on a buzzer beater does not qualify as blowing.  Today blew.  We did play well vs both okie schools and Gonzaga though.  Ok at close games is a fair assessment.

We're close to turning the corner on the road bros

The perimeter was locked down today. MC is dumb for saying we got lots of good looks today. They shutdown half of our offense from the perimeter (southwell, sprads, foster, etc.).

Offense was not the issue today.  We shoot over 50% from the field and score 80 if we hit our free throws.  Dumb TO's down the stretch were huge but our help D on Staten and consistently going over screens 30 ft from the basket on a guy that made his 5th or 6th 3 of the season was our problem.
