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

Anything from Corbin? Refs swallow whistles in last minutes usually so it is best to not think you are going to get a call going to the hole unless Carnowski is not in there clogging it up. Mika from 15 to pull Carnowski out is absolutely one of a few options I would want. Don't want a fadeaway through the lane from him. Haws got a good look on next possession from 18 ft and missed.

Mika had the hot hand. Go with him.

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

Shteve

But Mika had a good look from elbow with a second or two on shot

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...

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

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

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
