Sasser got hot and made 4 straight, 3 of them very tough And then Grimes made a tough one, and then Mills made a tough one, and then Hinton made a layup. 4 straight possessions 4 different guys did it. that sorta seems like exactly what we're talking about. |

Put Keith or Harvey (right now) or Jaevin or Tre in the play maker iso and see what they can do. None of them have the ball skills (nor does Jarron) to get themselves open for a good shot. Jarron does it with brute strength and getting his man off balance. He can't use the cross over or quickness to blow by someone. Keith has some potential if his ball skills get better. MAW is next in line. Harvey has some work to do. Gabe and Saunders have some promise. Probably even Eason if he is guarded by a 4. |

Overall we have underperformed in the NCAA tournament. But our results are not even close to significant enough to dismiss random variation. |

Also I dont think sampson is a great coach on offense. And I dont think doing what he did is smart. He also did it here and it cost them the game.
Iso'ing for midrange jumpers is terrible offense. I hope he doesn't develop more of an offense than chuck it up and go rebound with all these stud athletes. Imagine what houston could be if they weren't 222 in eFG% and 254 in 2 point shot %. They have the talent to be a lot better than that. But they are 22 in overall offensive efficiency cause their offensive rebounding is so crazy. |

We can go on and on about luck and randomness but the best coaches can out perform random variations IMO. And most of them don't or won't attribute results to it...or they will have lost the battle before playing. I don't think the movie Hoosiers was about luck..it was about the idea of opportunity meeting preparedness...and adding some motivation that other teams can't replicate. |

"Blame" and "excuses" only exist in narratives. They're fun to talk about, but are little more than pareidolia in my opinion.
