blowing a 14 pt lead

Yes, he needs to take time outs and reset everyone.

We won that game because Miss St tired defensively. That would not have happened by calling time outs and allowing them to catch their breath.

I know we out rebounded MSU tonight, but there were some critical moments where we failed to come down with a lose ball, that resulted in major points for them. A missed rebound is the same as a turnover. Hopefully they tighten up on that and box out more consistently so they can put teams away earlier. Glad to get the W

It probably was Pope’s worst coached game of the season. He sat Robinson way too long during that 14 point meltdown and didn’t call a timeout either. Then he stayed in zone too long. Love the guy but he isn’t Jesus and he made some mistakes tonight.

This isn’t really on Popebecause the players seemed to take on this mentality late in the game but we had like 5 trips in a row where Robinson didn’t even touch the ball. Thats borderline criminal when a guy that’s hot. He made a huge basket to basically ice the game. He should have had a couple more opportunities down the stretch to touch the ball and take a couple shots. Just glad to get out of there with a win

Disagree with that last point because if you were watching how MSU was defending they were doing EVERYTHING to keep him from getting a good look. And we used that to our advantage with his action OFF the ball (i.e. he didn't need to touch it to make an impact) and that freed up dudes like Almonor and other guys to get great looks

He sat Robinson because he was suddenly feeling it a little too much. And he was right. Seems like the guy he brought in did OK with there threes. Then when that guy started feeling it a little too much he put Jax back in to make the dagger

This is total ****ing bullshit the bias ref last 2 games the hook on Perry the hack across both arms of Williams on the baseline in front of refs and NOTHING

The Hook and foul on Perry was the most egregious one, IMO.

Another freaking flop by that Mendez

It’s Melindez. They took his first name, Melinda, and his last name Menendez and put them together and got Melendez.

Do we trust coach Pope or do we not? Early on everybody said they did. Now all of a sudden people don’t trust him making decisions? We won the freaking game.

Make those free throws
