ORUalum Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 ridiculous that E-Man only played 13 minutes......other than the run to end the 1st half, Sutton's 4 guard line-up killed him still can't close out on the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Titan Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Gave up 49 points in the 2nd half, out-scored by 19 in 20 minutes - an unfortunate return to form on defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Titan Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 It is virtually impossible to hold a lead on the road and/or win a close game on the road without good guard play. ORU's guard play was atrocious in the 2nd half, and AJ's interior defense was nonexistent for fear of drawing his fourth foul. Would have loved to see a little full-court pressure with the lead early in the 2nd half, just to keep them off-balance and keep our guys from playing on their heels so much. But that's not what ORU does: only time the press is used is late, when desperate. So predictable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORU82 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Watched the game on ESPN3. Glad to see the posts above because as I sat there watching the game progress I kept thinking Coach would put Big E back in the game. The farther it went with both Bradley and Young on the floor, the more ticked I got especially at crunch time in the final few minutes. Outside of a "3", Young was pretty much non-existent and Bradley trying to attack the basket on offense in the last couple minutes killed us. If you are going to drive inside against their bigs, why do you keep a very talented 6'8" guy who is a good shooter and can play "D" on the bench? Of course I am talking about Big E sitting when Albert could have used more help inside. Take nothing away from NDSU but we gave that game away. Finally, why are we signing 2 more guards? Hopefully they are at least 6'5" each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounded very relaxed and confident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
