clock so it wasn't as bad as we sometimes get with 20 seconds left on clock.

How about this adjustment by Dave Rose:

Shortening the possessions at that point puts so much pressure on Gonzaga

Id like 2 see them initiate offense at 15 sec, not >10. Alot of garbage shots

What Cougarclaw said. Mikas probably below 40% on the season from 15ft out

Shteve

subtract out the crappy fadeaways where he's out of control and there aren't...

icecougar

but do you really want a 15 footer to be your decisive play?

Cougarclaw

From a "hot" Eric Mika? Absolutely. What would you prefer? An Emery forced 3?

Mika was only one on floor at that time with a >50% FG line.

It's not the ideal shot but I've seen us take a lot worse than a wide open...

Probably Nashiff's idea.

2/27/17 4:56pm

I want to hear more about this.

Bob Vance

2/27/17 4:59pm

I think it was - he deserves a lot of credit

2/27/17 5:00pm

He appeared to be doing a majority of the active coaching down the stretch

OGSuperfan

2/27/17 9:22pm

He calls specific sets - probably discussed in huddle to slow it down

Shteve

Another key, putting Mika up at the high post.

i much prefer those elbow jumpers to the back to the basket then turn around

oryguncoug

2/27/17 5:01pm

Yeah, much better to put him there than Kaufusi

nephicoug

2/27/17 5:06pm

It drew the mountain man away from the basket

CougarThug

2/27/17 5:33pm

Probably Nashif's idea as well

icecougar

2/27/17 8:05pm

Actually, it was per Dave Rose post game

Bob Vance

2/27/17 9:14pm

It was great to see and absolutely helped the starting 5

Cougar TD

Wife looked at me and said, "what is this" Rose slowing down???

Samuel Hall Society

Very good observation. Kaufusi was fresh and locked them down defensively also.

Celeritas

2/27/17 6:45pm

Before Jimmer we weren't an up-tempo team and were much better in the half...

And truthfully, long overdue. Teams adjusted to keep us from running game 10

jkccoug

2/27/17 9:08pm

The bigger adjustment I've seen.

ClassicCoog

2/27/17 9:09pm

I so agree with you about Mika catching the ball and kicking it back

BYUJoJo

2/27/17 9:39pm

I don't necessarily think that the players are trying to block the 3 point shot

BYUCPA

2/28/17 6:55am

It was a perfect move at the right time
