is saturday winnable? (WVU edition)

[dal9]

Weber timeout cost s a possession.

they were reviewing that anyway

[8manpick]

What a horrendous final possession

[renocat]

SHI*HOLE.

If oscar can't win this game then he should be fired immediately. Even texas tech whipped ku's ass, shameful

Because T-Tech is better than KU. They also they whipped our ass too. The issue I had with this game is Barry walking down the court with 15 secs, not looking for Wade in the paint, to take a forced 3 only being down 1. No chance for a reb and putback...terrible guard play.

[TheTruth]

Another in a long line of WFT moments when trying to get off the last shot.

[SkinnyBenny]

It's my favorite thing to laugh at about oscar. He is absolutely awful at final possessions. I'm still LOL'n at his attempt in the NCAA tournament game against La Salle, and that was....six years ago? Jesus Christ. Having Barry lazily walk it up the court and then throw up a contested last-second three was a hilariously bad way to try to win today's game. Color me stunned it didn't work.

[CHONGS]

All I know is that it will be the refs fault.

[CHONGS]

I know its very fashionable to talk crap on future HOFC oscar Weber on this board, but if not for refs he would have beaten KU at Allen Fieldhouse two years in a row.  That needs to count for something.

[LeggoKatZ]

What a kick in the balls.  At least we got it over with early to ruin the remainder of my Saturday. 

[Whisker Biscuit]

I know it looks cool to nonchalantly walk the ball up the court like you just don't have a care in the world but what. the. eff.  There were 15 seconds left and Barry crossed half court at 8.  I'm not sure i understand why we wouldn't want to get into our set as quickly as possible.  drive the basket and kick or shoot with 4-5 seconds on the clock so there's at least a chance for a put back at the buzzer.  It's not rough ridin' rocket science.  We looked like a bunch of rough ridin' retards the YMCA that last possession.  Dribble around till the clock runs out and throw up a prayer from 25'

[Lucas Scoopsalot]

Can't blame the refs this year. Its all the fault of our loser coach.

[MakeItRain]

hey graham has 2 fouls, 5 minutes in.  let’s avoid him at all costs and try not to draw his 3rd

This pissed me off, there were even a couple of possessions that he switched to Wade but the guards never got the ball back to him.

[MakeItRain]

Weber timeout cost s a possession.

No it rough ridin' didn't, JFC.

You actually think it was planned for Barry to do that? LOL. I'll ask you and everyone else, what should have been called there?

spread the court, drive and crash the boards. I thought that was obvious to everyone in the world

sure but it starts with getting into your set and you can't do that at 4 seconds and expect to get a good shot let alone a put back.  you can't walk the ball up the rough ridin' floor like it's the start of the rough ridin' game.

[brm7070]

OU just did it right. Down 1, penetrate, kick it out and hit a three with 5 seconds left.  Don't know if the will win it, but they have the chance now.
Edit---- TCU scores to force OT!!

Guys, it was winnable. Then it wasn't.

I mean I would think a coach would have told them to be cognizant of the time remaining in the timeout or like practiced a similar situation in practice or something

ku has no depth either which was evidenced by the fact that he was playing w 2.  i am not invested enough to get pissed today but coaching really can be as simple as keeping the opponent’s best player on the bench and our team has more than enough players that could have drawn that 3rd and 4th on devonte. 

[michigancat]

graham is a better post defender than our bigs

He was KU's best defender on Wade. By far.

That's the deal. The play call was the right one. The issue is that we don't operate in a manner that Barry would be comfortable going quickly there.

I'll be critical of oscar for this but I'll also leave as a possibility that Barry was prepared for this but he got tight because he was playing KU in AFH and the moment was too big for him.
