Sac State Game

Vasquez (Vaskwez? as our favorite color announcer likes to say...) is the MVP. Great early and clutch late. Really happy for him this season.

Think it's Vazquez. Huge key to the game tonight. So bizarre he hardly played last year. Martin scoreless tonight. Remember when Vazquez started?

Oke too...did he suddenly get quick and active on defense with a presence on the boards? Would he be better if he'd played a bit more all year?

Oke's really coming on strong. It was great to see him give the Jordan shrug to the bench after his second basket.
 
The Griz late-game inbounding is horrible decision-making. Basketball 101= don't pass the ball into the baseline corner when you're being trapped. The clock was at 1.5 seconds and Sac had no timeouts left we passed the ball into the corner nearly resulting in a turnover.

Travis coaches like crazy before these ob plays. Not sure what he's coaching.

Send everyone to your free throw line. Wing it down let anyone on either team touch it and if the other team somehow beats you from 75 feet in 1.5 seconds so be it. Or send one guy long or two or three. Get it out of your own end! And especially don't allow the trap in the corner!

Too much coaching makes for late game nerves!

No disagreement here.

But the funny thing is, we saw the same damn thing happen in multiple games yesterday, right at crunch time. In one game (can't recall which one), we saw it twice in a row. First time, the trapped guy managed to call a time out (the team's last, BTW). Second time, a defender plucked the ball out of his hands, turned and made an easy layup. They held on, but what should have been a fairly easy close-out, turned into a nail-biter.

The excitement and pressure is just too much, apparently. And we're talking ranked teams with supposedly top-level talent, coached by guys who are considered eventual Hall-of-Fame candidates.
 
…no different than a pass play in football…
…the inbounder/quarterback knows the routes…
…go deep..button hooks..slants..no excuse for failing…
