[QUOTE="CEB, post: 935166, member: 4905"] I completely agree with your second paragraph... killer instinct, strong with the ball when we know fouls are coming, absolutely right. I am not sure what game flow has to do with fouls getting called or not. A foul is a foul... or should be. How a game has been called for 30 minutes shouldn’t change the criteria for foul calls in the last 10. That said, WF and the officials clearly knew fouls were coming to put GT in the bonus and they called two very quick ones on the same OOB series before Sturdivant was “stripped.” WF intensity didn’t change, but as soon as 6 team fouls were committed, the refs had a harder time blowing the whistle on #7. You’re still right, Sturdivant has to protect the ball and be stronger in that situation but they let them play a whole lot more on the 7th team foul... I will say that we are notoriously bad as a team at getting to the FT line. We don’t challenge defenses very well. We play late in the shot clock and take contested shots a LOT. That is not a good recipe for getting to the line. As far as killer instinct and closing out games... I’m not sure our guys really understand where shots should come out of this offense. We tend to find shots early in games and either because of defensive adjustments or lost intensity, we don’t get shots out of the offense later. Several trips late in the WF game, we abandoned offense altogether and played 1on 1 or just high ball screen. I think Pastner makes that adjustment to make sure he has the ball in his best scorers hands but when you have a lead and the basketball, that’s the time when you ought to be able to run your offense, use clock, and get good shots. To me it’s telling that we abandon our offense in that situation... we don’t have confidence in getting good shots out of it. It just feels like we don’t have a real good understanding of what we’re trying to do. [/QUOTE]
