Game 24, at Oregon (2016-2017)

We should cut down the lead to 13pts or less with 15 mins to go. Deficit should be less than time left. Else it's too big of a deficit with too little time

Markkanen would be a good choice to be "white" hot!

Cats got punched in the face, not out yet. Yeah L Mark needs to step it up in the first 4-5 mins. Cut the lead to 9-10..then we might see a great game. Let's see how much heart this team has.

I think there's a decent chance we get the lead to single digits at some point in the second half. The interesting questions at that point is how long did it take, how much energy did we expend getting it to single digits and how does Oregon respond (like do they get mad, mad two stops and two baskets and extend it back to 13 or do they panic a bit?).

So Oregon decided to channel the college ghost of Jimmer today.

Lauri has no chance defending Brooks

2 on Markkanen. . .

Our two big lineup is getting eaten up by Oregons small ball..........We need to get Trier in for one of the bigs

Why does Duck U shoot anything but 3's?

NYCat · Post by **NYCat** » Sat Feb 04, 2017 3:18 pm

-23pts > 15 mins

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sat Feb 04, 2017 3:19 pm

oregon has had plenty of their 3's come from open looks too.

and why are we still giving them open looks now?
for fucks sake, cover the 3 point line.

Our stubborn desire to keep two bigs in is only going to make things worse..........Comanche and Pinder have ZERO chance of guarding Dillon Brooks. Miller is being seriously Out-Coached by Altman

need to press

Yeah. Don't understand what SM was thinking here. No where near quick enough

CatFanOneMil · Post by **CatFanOneMil** » Sat Feb 04, 2017 3:21 pm

Hard to beat a team hitting 75% from three...its a flux but we've seen it before some team gets hyper-hot against us and shoots lights out like they never have before...this will be a beating...

Last Time I was this fired up for a big game with this big of a total letdown was when we traveled to UNC in 2007.

Can't do that effectively with 2 bigs in the lineup

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sat Feb 04, 2017 3:23 pm

so many stupid turnovers too.

ghostwhitehorse · Post by **ghostwhitehorse** » Sat Feb 04, 2017 3:25 pm

Note: non-blow-outs in this series have been rare in recent years. This is. . kinda normal.

3goggles · Post by **3goggles** » Sat Feb 04, 2017 3:25 pm

14-19 this is god damn insane!!!

And. . . that is the last timeout.

and yet, not the first time a team has done this against miller's vaunted pack line defense.

They like those wide-open dunks too?

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sat Feb 04, 2017 3:29 pm

there isn't 1 single thing AZ is doing better than UO in this game.
not one.

coaching, nope.
shooting, nope.
moving without the ball, nope.
ball security, nope.

complete failure all the way around.

dmjcat · Post by **dmjcat** » Sat Feb 04, 2017 3:30 pm

I don't know if Millers ego can handle it but I would love to see him be proactive and bring in someone like Coach Montgomery as a "Beat-the-Zone" consultant for 1 week. Its obvious that our staff has no idea how to attack one.

HiCat · Post by **HiCat** » Sat Feb 04, 2017 3:30 pm

Ducks the best team today. Tip my hat to them, but still like to see Az compete, play hard, and not quit.

NYCat · Post by **NYCat** » Sat Feb 04, 2017 3:31 pm

Yeah they're shooting at unbelievable levels, but the offense is garbage. Still haven't gotten 30pts!

There's no fucking way he'd do that. none. zero. Just like there's no way we'd ever employ the zone.

we "do what we do".

At some point you have to foul a guy hard at the rim. Where is Kevin Parrom when you need him

84Cat · Post by **84Cat** » Sat Feb 04, 2017 3:34 pm

Was it Trier we took over Dorsey?

hmm, i wonder if the ducks will triple our score here. they're certainly capable of doing so.

i also wonder if BC97 is regretting not making his ban-bet on this game instead of that ucla one lol.

dmjcat · Post by **dmjcat** » Sat Feb 04, 2017 3:36 pm

Can we please at least try a 1 big lineup for 5 minutes????

Catintheheat · Post by **Catintheheat** » Sat Feb 04, 2017 3:36 pm

This is absolutely demoralizing. You just have to throw the tape away. This definitely got the Cats attention. They can throw away the press clippings because they won't be receiving any more. They weren't even competitive in any way. Lauri seems overwhelmed. They can take this pounding in two ways. Either they will trend downward, or take it as a lesson that nothing can be taken for granted. They need work because they aren't even close to as good as they thought.

NYCat · Post by **NYCat** » Sat Feb 04, 2017 3:36 pm

30 points!!!!!
