Not sure I agree with this. When rabb is on the bench with 2 fouls and he has Moute in for one of the wings there are not alot of options out there. I WOULD like to see Rooks more involved but have no problem with Wallace taking shots when the bench is getting minutes. I would totally agree that when the STARTERS are on the floor Wallace needs to facilitate.


Don't we have Jaylen Brown, Jabari Bird, and Jordan Mathews? I sure they'd love to shoot the ball every once in a while. They probably wouldn't feel the need to force shots if they felt they'd get the ball when they are in a position to score. Combined they don't have as many shot attempts as Wallace.

Wallace shooting the technical freethrows? WTF?

Bird and Mathews were not on the floor at the same time because we had to bring in Moute to defend Adams. Brown hasn't show (yet) great skills in the half court when the other team is zoning.

I thought the CHARGE was ball hog in the extreme. I hate that he was stripped trying to drive into all those bodies at the end of the half but I generally thought it was OK.

Exactly. LOL. If I didn't know any better, I'd think there's a conspiracy in trying to pad his stat line.

+1. Were both Bird and Mathews out on that possession?

We were well coached. It was Called Monty. that is why we have no depth at the 4 or 5

Moute has been the unsung hero with his D on Adams.


agree...I think Moute is getting it on defense now, and he's worked so hard on his shooting that I'm okay with him taking an open catch and shoot

Some of these "touch" fouls are killing college hoops

Wallace is about the only perimeter guy hitting shots, though. I guess I was a bit hard on him. Good decisions on his shot selection in the second half so far. Brown and Mathews having a really tough time putting it in the hole today.

I've said for a while that Wallace needed to develop a pull up jumper
seems like he's done that. overall his shooting is improved from last year
looks like a good decision for him to return

also, we FINALLY ran a pick and roll for Ivan, and guess what...

Good start. Took the punch and didn't get rattled. Love the pick and roll 2 man with Wallace and Rabb. But hey, Martin can't coach.

Also keep in mind. This is just game 2 of moving Rabb to the 4. The smurf experiment was exposed against SDSU,

A lot of these "foul" calls are borderline at best. You can tell Rabb is backing off on D to avoid getting hosed.

Those jumpers inside the arc are open all day..Wyoming is just packing the paint big time.

and that is OK. Understand the way the game is called and hope they call it both ways. More pick and rolls with Rabb.

Yup. He's a special player.

Yup. Just amazingly soft hands for a big guy. I also like that Brown is figuring out against the 2-3 that the elbow seam is there if he wants. Next step is for him to look for the dump off assist to a cutter.

Come on guys....don't try to milk clock. We need to stay aggressive. THey shoot the three ball too well for that.

No. Rooks started at center. Bird on bench

Yeah - second game with Bird as first guy in. Sadly as a way of keeping Rabb out of foul trouble didn't work. Better in the second half but now is sitting with four. I fear for the outcome.

Adams has decided to drive rather than look for the three. Not a bad idea when our guys are on the bench with fouls.

Domingo has to be hurt...I think he played a few minutes and thats it.

Why is Mathews out there? He's been terrible.

Brown really has one move. Spin move.

Roger just did a Bruce Bowen. Too bad for Adams.

Damm. Ivan HAS to let that go.

With 4 fouls that is a bad foul for Rabb to take
