Arkansas outcoached

[WCS Coach]

Mike was horrible the last 3 minutes of the game. Terrible offensive sets, if you can call them that, that resulted in multiple last second shot clock shots. Williams was clearly the better coach in a game Arkansas could have won.

High school teams would have done a better job.

I'm pretty underwhelmed at overall team play in these games..a lot of 1 on one and out of control, forced 3s

 

[have an idea]

Lots of great athletes that are not necessarily great bb players.

 

[WCS Coach]

I tend to root for teams and not individuals. Watching Arkansas reminded me of MA's teams at Mizzou. Terrible half court offense when you needed it. Cost them bad today.

I enjoy watching st. Mary's, very good team that has to do it off skills and iq over athleticism. I've seen SO many bad 3 pointers today.

especially at the end of the games when attacking the basket is still the way to go.

I think overall, the way it's officiated allows for athletes to just take off running toward the goal and draw fouls. Definitely a different game from 15 years ago

This reads like a barbershop conversation between 2-3 old dudes.

I have no problem with up tempo games or that style of play, but he clearly has no clue what to do when he needs a bucket with the game on the line. After the first horrible possession I would have thought he would have taken a timeout to set something up, but he allowed it to happen a 2nd straight time.

I don't mind up tempo...there is a shot clock...but surely they can do better than just driving one on one and jacking long threes off screen or 5 feet behind the line.

 

[WCS Coach]

The shots Arkansas forced themselves into were simply horrible. They were so interested in running clock they had no clue how to score. That resulted in a couple of long and off balanced treys. They did Carolina a huge favor. I can't believe anyone watching didn't just cringe.

I'm not a huge fan of Roy Williams (Kansas how could you be....) but there is a reason why he has led his teams to 5 championship NCAA games and won 2.

What he said !
Would love to see an old fashioned game where finesse and no contact were expected and rewarded.

 

[WCS Coach]

Good luck finding that.

You won't find it. You would have to stage it.

I miss bounce passes and bank shots and players raising their hand when they get called for a foul.

There are a lot of ways to win basketball games. That is the beauty of the sport.
