ust my preference to get a look earlier in the clock when you're losing. Miss the shot and/or put back but have 5-8 seconds remaining for the win or tie. Just how I see it. No knock on Bruce or anything.



This! 2 games in a row where we had virtually no chance to tie it at the end after their free throws. All because of poor clock management. That is squarely on bruce for not instilling a sense of urgency for the sitaution.

I actually disagree. Priority #1 is to get a good shot that isn't rushed. Priority #2 is to leave enough time for an offensive rebound and second chance.

And Bruce Pearl pointed out that before that shot by Okeke w/ 5 secs left, that Brown and Bryce had good looks, but decided not to shoot it for some reason, even though we were only down 1.

So it was our 2 veteran guards who passed up the shots that you wanted w/ more time on the clock. That's not on Pearl to me.

wtf? What you are suggesting is stupid clock management. What if we made those shots with more time on the clock? Than UK or SC would have plenty of time to take their own last shot


You always want to be taking the last shot
