How Many Times...

UNOPrivatr · February 9, 2007

So UNT has lost 4 straight games to New Orleans...and 6 of 9 to New Orleans since McCaleb came into the league (although McCaleb was absent for the 2 games last year).
Those losses have been by 1, 2 (in 2 OTs), 3, 1, 4 (in 2 OTs) and 2 (on a last second shot). The wins have been by 6, 1 and 3 points.
McCaleb has scored 31, 18, 39 and 25 in the New Orleans wins he's participated in. 18, 25 and 24 in the losses.
Not sure what this all means...but this series with New Orleans has been extremely close to have 9 games in 4 years and none of them decided by more than 6 points.

Thanks for posting this. It's obviously been a crazy series between the two teams the last several years. I didn't realize they have ALL been within six points. Incredible games.

your leaving out one thing....the guy throwing the ball in can run the base lineif he puts a quick move on the guy guarding him he can still get a good pass off and with mccaleb's quickness he has a good chance to be open.....what yall dont get is there is no right or wrong in that situation....there are a lot of coaches who put someone on the inbounder in that situation there are a lot who will do what jj did....if he made the shot and he had someone on the inbounder yall would still be bitching..i do agree he shouldnt have called time out after the freethrow and that that was a big mistake and cost us big time.....and ill say it once again we were lucky not to get beat 15 or 20 in that game i find it somewhat impressing that we lost by 2 when we shot as poorly as we did yeah we made some mistakes but jj made some good decisions as far as running the offense and working the posts when we werent making shots....and i think im on record as saying johnny hasnt done a good job in a lot of games this year

I've never seen the inbounds pass left unguarded. How many in your estimation do you mean when you say "a lot" of coaches do it?

I've seen it left unguarded before, though the smarter play says to guard the passer since Kentucky/Duke in '92.

umm watch college basketball on tv and you will see it i cant put a number on it because it is what the situation dictates not just something you do.....with a guy like mccaleb i do what JJ did....except not call the time out
