Turning point in game

Post by Elkaggie » January 15th, 2025, 11:14 pm

Up 7 with the ball on a fast break and Drake throws up an ill advised 3 that wasn’t close. I wish we would have called a time out and settled everyone down and use some clock. I know hindsight it 20/20 but I hated the shot.

Drake also had a chance to tie and missed a fairly easy layup.

This one hurts up 60-53 and UNLV closes 12-2.

Well it was fun being ranked for a couple weeks.

Missed follow up by Falslev on the break. Could have went up 9.

I actually think he missed off the rebound on Drake’s ill advised three attempt.

Being ranked does nothing but put a target on your back. Honestly, we've had so many lucky breaks the last year and a half, we were bound to lose one like this.

Falslev missed the put back but there was an obvious alley oop to Martinez instead of the 3 attempt. That definitely was the defining decision of the game to shoot that three. Got greedy on that one. Hopefully learns from it.

Even that wasn't the real nail in the coffin. It was giving up a 3 when up 4 and missing everything after that.

Drake did that at SJSU too. I hate it when our terrible 3 shooting PG pulls up for 3 on a fast break.

Yep that one hurt. It is easy to look back and 2nd guess it but I would have like to see us run some clock and get a better shot. We really struggled to finish at the rim with their length. We missed several shots around the rim that we seemed worry about them blocking.

Drake Allen is the greatest thing to happen to the state of Utah since Brigham Young

Our 3 point defense is abysmal. We just watch guys shoot and then when they do miss we don’t box out. Hopefully having a week off will give them a chance to reset.

Also, can we just blow out a conference team for once? I feel like we always play to the level of our opponent. Which is great when your opponent is really good, but not great when you are the better team.

It sure looked like it. The angle was not great and it may have been a tough pass but it looked like a good option. We have had lots of those inbound layups this year.

Looked worn out at the end of the game…not a lot of life. We did about everything wrong after 60-53 lead. We need to figure out the free throw issues…can’t keep leaving those points off the board. Also not great at KYP. Rishwain is a shooter. Can’t lose him in the zone or close out short on him. We did both and he hit those 2 big threes. Make him make a play off the dribble. All in all decent effort for being sick. Tough to lose a game we had in control. Flush it, get better, and go forward. Go Aggies!!

Luckily they didn’t make a lot of threes. Although I was screaming at the TV for someone to find Rishwain on the last 3 he hit. If they shoot even a decent percent from three we lose by 12 plus.

I was yelling at the TV he had his guy pinned and would've had an easy right handed layup the play was literally designed for him and the inbounder choked.

Didn’t realize until the broadcast showed it that we were 18-1 in our last 19 close or OT games (as they defined it).

That is unsustainable. We were bound to drop a close game before long. Hopefully they regroup and get healthy

That's what happens when you are unable to blow out teams. Every game is close. Our last big win (more than 10 points) was over a month ago. Our average margin of victory for conference games is 3 points. We've won by 3, 1, 5, 6, 7, 2 and -2. We aren't exactly crushing the conference competition.

Coach mentioned post game about how bone headed that shot was from Drake. He was playing hero ball instead of using his brain. Honestly think if we use some clock there or he dishes it for a lay up we win going away. That was a really bad mistake by Drake. Besides the shot was an absolute brick! I think it hit glass first.

I agree, it was a bad shot in that situation, but if he had made it, it could have been a serious dagger.

Driving in for a layup could have also been a dagger.

Or a bounce pass to Martinez for a dunk would have been a dagger.

OR, thinking he didn't have either a layup or a pass then slowing it down and running the offense could have been a dagger. Even if you don't score it doesn't allow UNLV to run down and score to get some momentum back.

BUT, shooting an off-balanced running three is not ever going to be a dagger if you can't hit more than 5% of the time, which is about the odds I'd give Allen of making that shot.

Agreed on this that Drake made a real dumb decision... especially since he shoots under 30% from 3.



But the turning point was when we decided to put those stupid-(I can't express myself without swearing) black uniforms on.

We have won in them against UNLV before. And one good thing that came out of this football season was breaking the black uniform curse in football.

Our winning percentage in the black uniforms sits around the same percentage as Falslev's free throw shooting the last five games.

Turning point in the game is when we built an early lead and pissed it right away. I love this team, but we’ve got to extinguish all hope and teams like UNLV would fold.
