San Francisco (3/26/18)

How in the world is Woolridge hitting FTs on the same night we can't hit anything else?

.....Sigh

It's amazing how little has gone our way tonight. Some our fault. Some just chance. 

Yea - so many loose balls have bounced their way. We've also knocked the ball out of our own hands multiple times.

USF 58 -------- NT 47

 

7:02 to go

 

 

I will say...the second half has given me a lot of hope toward Game 2.  If we could grab a freaking rebound we might have this game to five points now.

[Mean Green Matt]

Time for a big run. 

[greenminer]

I've only got the audio feed, but I take it that we can win the series if USF isn't hitting on all cylinders.

[RiseUNT]

Good God Woodridge drives me crazy. SHOOOOOOTTTTT THE BALLLLLLLL!

 

[diehardUNTfan]

Yeah, can Woolridge stop driving?  That'd be great

At least 4 times now.  Unbelievable.

San Francisco falls apart late so let’s see what happens. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[emmitt01]

As much as we are driving I am shocked we are not on the line more.  There is certainly sufficient contact

Duffy has done very Little’s tonight. He is a huge liability defensively. I would get Holston in there because we need some height and some defense. We are to short and our guys are not hitting the three. When it works it looks great, but we need to change it up tonight and get back to feeding Holston and Lawson in the paint. Work it inside. 

Not sure if this is in the same vein, but I believe @BillySee58 posted something about this being counter-intuitive.  Having Duffy in there - when he is effective offensively - equates to better defense overall.  Offense is more efficient, shots fall and we get set defensively better.

Maybe he can clarify or say otherwise.

[greenminer]

If we can steal 2 minutes from the JackSt game, we can get back in this and win the dang thing.

[FirefightnRick]

What in hell is a foul?  

They drive out front and get touched..foul.

We drive to the bucket and get hammered and poked in the eye...no foul.

I don't think Simmons knows he is tall.

Simmons looks a little lost.

[Mean Green Matt]

We really could have won this game.

USF 61 -------- NT 53

We have a real shot to steal this if we can make some shots down the stretch.

If these are the refs we get Wednesday...going to be another long night.

I'm hoping its just home cooking.

[Green Lantern]

It’s amazing to me this is a 8 pt game given the horrible outside shooting, untimely turnovers and lack of situational rebounding.

[greenminer]

Don't wanna jinx this, but this is winnable.

[Wookies]

I don't understand what a foul is anymore.

[emmitt01]

Regardless of how it goes from here on out, I have confidence for Wednesday and Friday.  We took a haymaker from them, on their floor, and didn’t buckle.  

 

A Benford team would be down 40 in this game...ok, to be honest a Benford team never makes it to this game

[TreeFiddy]

What the F is Woolridge doing tonight?

[greenminer]

Dons w/5 in double figs

[Andrew]

Simmons does have a ton of rebounds, but honestly I feel like Arikawe is more attentive and aggressive on the court. He wouldn’t be losing these passes from Woolridge and he would body up anybody in the paint. Why doesn’t Grant play Arikawe more?
