So when the game is in the balance you can't give Hollis Thompson the ball. He took a horrible 3 against Missouri and then there was that drive tonight. He has proven to be a complete liability at the end of games.
I was screaming for 3 to call a timeout. Hollis drives it to the hoop, OK that's fine. The problem is that he is never looking to pass. Vaughn was wide open. Freeman was wide open. It's very bad basketball for Freeman to not get a touch on that possession.
What else sucked?
Freeman's missed free throw towards the end of the game was pretty big. So were all of Vaughn's misses around the rim. Not to mention his turnovers. How about the time he let a guy on the ground strip the ball?
How about letting Moore go off for a career high. Why was Benimon defending him for awhile? Why wasn't it Sanford? What does Sanford have to get more time?
What about the dude on Temple that shoots 31% from the line going 5 for 6 tonight? Reminds me of Mazzulla at the BET Final last year.
How about the ridiculous lineups in the first half? It's like they were holding a tryout.
Good Vibes
The good news is that they didn't play very well against a good team on the road and it came down to the final possession. I'll end this on a good note. That's all I got.
Look they were never going to go undefeated. A loss was coming. Hopefully there is something to be learned from tonight.
I'm also really glad that I'm not walking to my truck and about to drive home from Philly right now. That would suck and I've had more than my fair share of bad drives home.
See you on Sunday
Peace brah
