Sha postgame quotes

[Gohall129]

all it took was one point to win. you cant leave other players open closer to the basket for an easy 2. absolutely cannot. making them beat you from 3 was the move. having an all time defensive breakdown was not.

Derkak was near half court. I’d rather give derkak (25% career 3pt shooter) a 3 from 25-30ft uncontested than Harper a shot at all

losing because you left a guy open in your side of the court would be so so much worse. the plan was not to have dual take a massive load on his pants.

Based on the responses here. Sha can do no wrong and every coach you listed would’ve had 1 on 1 defense against the guy who is a top 10 pick

The player assigned to Harper, who -- yes -- ended up wide open was unable to cover the top 10 NBA draft pick. This isn't hard.

i also think the move was to go for the 3 ourselves the earlier possession. take the risk and live and die by it. didnt think we would win OT anyway , on the road with this team.

had more respect thank tears when that shot went in.

Dual is an average at best defender with limited college playing time. It’s not like we asked Wusu to lock him up. If it was Wusu who fumbled the coverage and Harper hits it, different story

wusu probably would have smashed into harper

i dont want him anywhere near the ball on the last play.

Does anyone believe that Smart,Pitino,Hurley or McDermott would have left Harper wide open for a 3 in the same circumstances?Sorry but a poor coaching job by Sha in this case.

I get your point but McDermott probably would haha

Crazy if you think those guys will never lose because another teams best player made a play on them in an end game situation. It's happened to them and will happen to them again. Players make plays. SMH. Jay Wright, Isaiah Whitehead big east championship. Wright didn't get the ball out of Whiteheads hands. He must suck too. Oh wait 3 weeks later same moron got Jenkins a wide open 3. Roy Williams not having anyone go up the floor with Jenkins....another moron.

Yeah a lot of top notch coaches on this board. Dual got turned around on the inside out dribble but Harper was still forced to the sideline where he made a 28 foot bomb. As noted above Harper had plenty of time to get into the paint for a play around the rim or, the way the whistles were going, get fouled. Tough, tough loss on the road.

Rutgers had no timeouts. How bout denying the inbound hoping to force a turnover. Trapping if they get it in. Playing for OT there is a losing strategy which of course was confirmed..

This! Exactly what should of been done.

 

[JTSHU]

double 2 guys??

When they have the ball man. Yes double them. Get it out of their hands

 

[SHUSA]

This! Exactly what should have been done.

you cant foul in that situation, thats a huge foul risk. at that point OT is best case scenario.
