ManiacAlum Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Is there a stat for most blown second half double-digit leads? We may lead the nation in that category over the last 6-7 years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone watch the end of the game? Did ORU get home-cooked? No home cooking from my vantage point. The SDSU head coach announced in the interview going into halftime that they needed to be the more aggressive team in the second half by challenging for all 50/50 balls - and by driving towards the basket to garner more points in the paint. We must not have heard the interview (sarcasm intended) as we had no defensive answer for it. While they didn't usually score in the paint, the fouls piled up. Unlike the first half where the Jacks were a woeful 4-10 from the line, they hit 19 of 22 in the second. Ballgame... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlue82 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 First 26:44 of the game (2/3): ORU 52; SDSU 37 Last 13:16 of the game (1/3): ORU 15; SDSU 37 Let that sink in a bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue82 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Make no mistake about it, Mike Daum is a very fine player. But, the difference in this game was the emergence of Chris Howell and Tevin King in the second half. Howell 3 pts in first half (3-7 from the line); 17 pts in second half including 3-4 FG and 11-12 FT. King 1 pt. in 7 minutes first half; 7 pts. 4 steals, 3-3 FG in 14 second half minutes.

ORUIsbig Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 We had 3 possessions during the last 70 seconds of the game and were only down by 2 at one point. But we imploded, There were two horrible turnovers by Bradley who tried to be hero and one missed shot by Emannuel if I remember right. It was all free throws from there out. It was closer than the points indicate. We had a chance. We blew it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORU82 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Yes, Bradley did have at least 2 turnovers and I think another missed shot where he came up the floor with the ball and chucked up a brick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 If White is healthy next year, this team may be just one good point guard and one "junk yard dog" at ANY position from at least being competitive in the Summit League. Not having a point guard consistently running the show, and instead letting Bradley and Young share the duties with Anderson, has led to nothing but chaos in crucial situations and has cost ORU a number of games late.

That's some pretty stout competition for Mr. Evans' services - ORU must be promising him he would start from day one, just to be in that mix.

WingMaaaan Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 If being close to home is as important as he's said, that might be another reason ORU is on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oruvoice Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Would he have to be "promised" to start from day one? I mean, that would pretty much be a given...right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would think. Though, considering the egos a coach must deal with these days on the recruiting trail, one would also think you can't tell a kid enough how much he's going to play. Doug Gottlieb made a comment the other day about a point guard who averages 37.5 minutes a game. Said Douglas: "From most point guard perspectives, that's just two-and-a-half minutes short of ideal."

oruvoice Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Well, seeing how we don't have a true point guard this year and we lose AA, AY, & JB...once would assume that a talented point guard could get 40 minutes a game next year...
