Question? Why is Jeremy Barr touching the ball 5 times a game? Every time we go down in the paint to him, something positive happens. He's not an awful free throw shooter (he could improve a bit, but he's not terrible). He makes the jump hook, he has a drop step, he shows power moves. It's basic basketball ROBERT LEE. Give your C the dam ball!!! My god.. They went to him twice in a row down the stretch, AND LO and BEHOLD, we scored both times down.. It sucks in the defense, and hell, if you're going to have a jump shooting team, you mine as well get the opposing defense looking in the paint to space the court!
Major Coaching Error (one of many) of the night: This could have cost us the game. With under a minute to go, following a missed jumper by Jarvis (#10, another guard that absolutely lit us up.. he does deserve alot of credit tho.. that guy created his own shot all night), La'Ryan Gary is isolated on a guard in the post, about 15 ft from the hoop. Lee calls TIMEOUT. THEN, proceeds to run an out of bounds play, in which Bureau curls off of a screen, to shoot a 28 foot jump shot, which rims out, and costs us a possession. This guy is unbelievable... You don't play for the win with a struggling team at home. You go with whats been working, play for the tie, and see what happens for the final 39 seconds.. THIS WAS NOT A ROAD GAME!
Good to get a win. Very impressed with the Defense down the stretch. We're still throwing up prayers out there, and fortunately, a few went in at opportune moments for the first time this season. Folks, Oral Roberts is not a good team this year. If we don't fix this offense, we might win 10 games. _
