Terrible, terrible game. Doesn't matter that Brooks had 22 and kept us in the game. All of those made 15 footers could have been 3 point attempts. Even with misses, it increases our overall attempts. I know we would have been down by 8 or 10 at the half, but it just makes our shot chart look something awful. Brooks can't be on the floor, made midrange 2s or not.
Also very disappointed in TyTy's performance. He was missing his 3s early, which is ok, but then he stopped shooting them. He hits a midrange jumper, which may have got him going to his big game, but was really fool's gold. He started driving, hitting pull ups and getting to the line. Unacceptable! Imagine if all those drives and pull ups were 3 attempts? Even if he kept missing, it increases our attempts and makes our shot chart look better.
Not pleased with Mintz either. I saw him pass up a few threes for drives to the basket. He may have scored, but shit Davion, you could have shot a 3. He even had a late 3 that he faked and took a pull up jumper. Yes he hit it, but does that really matter? We need high 3 point numbers. Taking 2s instead is just plum dumb. We would have been better off running stuff non stop for Grady in order to get 3 attempts. It doesn't matter that he wasn't being aggressive. It doesn't matter that he was making zero impact on the game. He needs to be in there firing up 3s non stop.
I know Ohio is a good team. I know we got their best shot. I know they had a bunch of guys who play like me and hit everything they put up in the first half. I know they got all the calls. I know Oscar was out the whole first half. I know we showed great hustle. I know we fought like hell. I know we won by 18.
But just imagine if Nate Oats was coaching this team? We may have only won by 5 but we would have shot nearly thirty 3s and our shot chart would look tremendous. Instead, we're stuck with an idiot coach who has no idea what he's doing. This may seem like a quality win, but we would have been much better off with an L with 30+ 3s in the long run. Gonna be a long season.
