The last two shots were both good shots and Gonzaga got less opportunities. The strategy worked.

If they were going to do it the whole game then yes. They should switch it up.

Many applauded "slowing it down" the final 5 min vs. Zags. Here are the results.

We were gassed. We had mostly the same guys on the court the whole game.

Now this I get and can get behind. There are times you need to steal a breath

Which is why we don't stand a chance in the WCC tournament. No bench.

Yes, agree. But if our guys are so tired that the extra 3-4 secs of rest

Less conditioning than bench issues. Mika played 39 of 40 minutes.

I'll be honest, I noticed the same. Now, I had the luxury of knowing the final,

6. Rested starters on court without a timeout, which allowed enough defensive

Yes, that was good. But to run a quick PNR with a long 3...

Bingo! Shortened the game.

Very evident you and others didnt read the post.

It's not just what happens on the offensive end.

Did not say to not slow it down. The few additional secs make a big difference.

Shteve

Don't deliberate possessions lead to more offensive rebounds? (4 Reb and 7 pts)

I've never seen any data that suggests that. You dont "count on" OREB.

Shteve

3/1/17 12:09pm

Noone's counting on them, but if you're running to shoot, there won't be people

Still Questing

3/1/17 12:15pm

So, the data suggests we lost the game? Lies, Dang Lies, Data

I agree that they should have given themselves a few more seconds. 8-10 sec didn't leave enough options.

did you forget Bryant's layup? Also, need to look at what our defense did on ..

icecougar

3/1/17 1:43pm

no, Bryants layup wasn't a possession where we slowed it down.

Shteve

3/1/17 2:05pm

yup. I've been a vocal advocate for a while now that we waste way too many...

How many points did Gonzaga score during that period?? That's the real

Omits Kaufusi put back on Haws miss.

Clearly stated "excludes extended possessions." An OREB is not offense.

Shteve

That's slugfest ball against a great team for ya.

Yes because the offense is so efficient when jacking up shots

I'm sorry but the results are, we won the game
