What’s so amazing about Tempo is his incredible confidence when speaking on topics about which he’s clearly ill-informed.
Sure, we had a couple bad possessions when they made their run, but frankly our defense just lapsed for a stretch and Michigan made shots. Basketball is a game of runs, and it seems like it becomes more and more apparent each season.
Thought Trent was going to choke Grandison after one of their transition opportunities cut the lead down to four I think. While backpedaling, Trent pointed out to Jake precisely where he needed to be, but Jake completely spaced and let Jones go right by him. Had he been where Trent told him to be, he would have cut him off. I watched that play about five times on replay and it just goes to show how incredible Trent is.
The best part, though, is Tempo bitching about the offensive sequence during the possession Trent knocked down the sick crossover step back to ice it. If this doesn’t totally encapsulate the dude’s lack of basketball knowledge, I don’t know what possibly can.
We ran the clock to 10 and then ran a phenomenal play to get Jake a WTFO look on the wing where he likes it, but it was long. Hawkins sailed across the court from ~25 feet away and snatched the board to give us a reset.
It got kicked back out to Trent and they ran the same set to give Trent an option to go left or right with the bigs trailing. Only this time Houstan pushed Trent out to the center line and was absolutely hounding him with the kind of defense it seems only desperate players get away with in the waning moments of a game they’re losing. (The same kind we played late against AZ in 05, Purdue on Feb 8, and Thursday against OSU, et al)
Houstan’s length and quickness are a major problem when he is allowed to reside in someone’s cylinder like that. Nevertheless, Trent got to his spot, got him on his heels, and did what he does best.
