If Brown could score.....

Not a huge scoring night for Joel Brown. Goose egg.

9 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals, 0 turnovers. I'll take it.

USC didn't miss many shots and i thought we played good defense. There were a lot of contested threes and fadeaway that they made. When they did miss they grabbed the offensive rebounds, and that decided the game. it's hard because we spent all of our efforts staying in front of their men (thought defense was fine actually). Players don't have that second jump to grab the defensive rebounds (which is the part when yall pointed out we got out athleted). Pretty encouraged by this loss

Mobley's herky jerky ball handling style makes him tough to guard…..not to mention the 6'10" part.

---

yeah, not to mention his long range shooting too

but the player who really is herky jerky is Peterson, although he would often drag his pivot foot when doing that

I hate it when players do that herky jerky thing, and then step through and under hands the shot... seems so undignified for a D1 basketball player, but it's so hard to defend when that same player can step back, or hit that fade away shot, and he can certainly do that

---

Peterson has that sweet Larry Bird fadeaway that is becoming a lost art form like all jump shots inside the arc. How about his put back on his own missed shot. It happened so fast that you could only see it on slomo playback.

That was on Grant. He didn't block out the shooter and Peterson simply followed his miss and tipped it back.

Someone has to pencil out for me what they think Gonzaga vs USC would look like.*


*IMHO, part of the look would involve this cocky f@uck crying harder than Tom Brady did on the day he got drafted in the NFL:

Yes, Grant didn't block out, but as I said that type of herky, jerky, step through under hand shot when the player has a fade away shot is very hard to defend

I thought Grant actually did a good job on that play, and the fact that Peterson had to resort to his last scoring option and missed shows that

But he probably just got Grant moving the wrong way or caught off guard

I can relate as I've had a ton of problems defending that situation
