But, I think they will spend a lot more time in the paint on offense. It seems that USF is a one half team on offense. Defense, believe it or not, won this game. they scored 86 points. 41 in the last 8 minutes. defense almost lost this game. the and ones, flagrant fouls and wide open threes in the end let them back in.

I think FAU comes back much stronger against us and we don’t have that early 25 point lead to play around with. I’m worried about a potential rematch. At this point, our path to the tournament goes through winning the conference tournament, which likely means a rematch with FAU. I’m not increasingly confident we can beat them a second time. Let’s see how the rest of the season plays out for us. If we can bring it together and play two full halves in the remaining games and prove to be solid heading into the postseason, my confidence will grow. Great new kind of learning experience today for this team. A lot of be proud of and a lot to look forward to. we let them back into that game. didn't go for the kill. they had 16 field goals made with 10 minutes left in the game and 14 the rest of the way. we didn't attack on offense. we kept pulling the ball out and waiting for 10 seconds left on the play clock to run our set offense. results in bad shots hopefully we learn that we need to be aggressive until the final whistle. move the ball and keep shooting 3's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won the game but FAU, after learning that the press will be problematic, will feel good about their chances. And then there is the memory of hearing "over-rated" for added motivation. we played passive in the last 10 minutes. think we realized a game isn't over until it's actually over.

I hate the hanging back until there's 10 seconds on the play clock and then the rush is on to beat the clock. I bet we turnover the ball without a score 75% of the time in that scenario. GO BULLS!

GO BULLS! drives me crazy anytime a team does it. you're right. either results in a turnover or a bad shot that's rushed to beat the shot clock.

Totally agree. Until it mathematically makes sense with the shot clock, amount of lead, etc. go with what got you there. And please put your best foul shooters on the floor at that time when you do start to milk the clock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBull Posted February 19 Group: TBP Subscriber III Topic Count: 207 Content Count: 3,467 Reputation: 1,435 Days Won: 19 Joined: 09/09/2007 Share Posted February 19 Just got back from weekend celebrating 10 years with my bride, whom I met at a USF basketball game. That was the best thing that ever happened to me being a Bulls basketball fan ... up until this year. Games are fun again. I am looking forward to seeing where this all leads but, for now, just enjoying the ride. Very proud of what the Bulls have done this year and they have shown they can win in many ways -- come from behind, hang on at the end, etc. The key is they are actually winning the games instead of just coming close. Who knew a USF team could shoot from both the three-point and the free throw lines?. And who knew all those Dome seats could actually hold human bodies? Truly a remarkable season. Go Bulls! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just talking about the optics and getting people back in the building to support the rest of the season - and next. after the win, I am sure others will finally admit how much that win meant. A sold out building at USF delivered. This program needed that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USF has never been in the men’s top 25 so this would be another amazing accomplishment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
