WG has got to start spreading the ball... I think I heard one of the announcers say their coach said we had selfish guards.

You see it all the time. It’s horrible basketball.

You know, it's alright, we really need zep back. This will give us a chance to maybe have some games that aren't the opponents best effort because they are facing #1

Honestly I didn’t think we were going to win this one anyway. No Zep and being so leg tired. I thought we held ourselves well except at the free throw stripe. This will do as good moving forward. We needed a little humility. And we get Zep back for Saturday hopefully. Now the pressure is off and we can go out and play ball.

I never understand why any team settles for a last second 3 if you dont need it.

Well, we all kind of expected a another 1-2 losses.

Poor FT shooting and then some sloppy play and a missed box out on the FT in the final seconds of the OT is fricking inexcusable

Absolutely. The announcers mentioned one weakness Musselman mentioned was that our guards are selfish...he was proved right tonight.

ETA: Squatch beat me to it...

Do we stay top 5, I say we move to 5, but I dunno. 2 overtime losses to decent teams. This was arky's 9th straight dub

37% from the field, 25% from 3, 47% from free throw line, 19 turnovers, 28 fouls.

When a team doesn’t let us run, we have no idea what to do. Offense just stands there and watches someone dribble. Our final four team had a similar problem around this time of the year. If memory serves.

We do have selfish guards but they have been producing. They bodied us all night outside with no calls we drive the lane and touch someone it’s a charge. I’m not complaining about the refs but definitely changed our guards going to the basket. We made enough mistakes to lose. Was an all out war and not sure how you call over the back on a rebound against Kessler then not on Williams over our own Williams. They hit FTs we didn’t

That’s not really true.

We do have selfish guards. It’s a good thing and a bad thing. I wouldn’t call it a weakness

Damn, Arky played a tough game and continue to win. Hit their free throws big time.

Their FT shooting was clutch. Kessler missed 5 straight.

The offense needs to run through Jabari in those situations imo. I know Green just scored in a similar situation against UGA but he got really lucky the ball basically fell back into his lap after nearly having it stolen.

KD was basically absent.

Was something wrong or did Arky shut him down. He didn’t even look confident tonight.

We’ll recover. Kinda nice to see another school storm the court after they beat us. Feels like we’ve arrived as a program.

Slick back hair ref group has always been selfish on KD Johnson type fouls. They were the same way at Coleman coliseum

Agreed. We are still undefeated in regulation and no home losses.
