Playing scared and losing because of it

[Westcoast]

Just not ready for prime time.

They are not playing scared
Sometimes other team doesn’t miss
Our fans are sometimes clueless

This live-reaction diarrhea couldn't have gone in the game thread?

 

[Westcoast]

Scared/lack of confidence. When you miss bunnies and dunks and are fumbling passes and short arm 6 footers, you are tight - afraid to miss. I.e.., playing scared.

Were we playing scared when we jumped out to a 15-5 lead?

 

[Westcoast]

No, as I mentioned in another thread, when Iowa switched to zone, we started throwing up bricks and the confidence was gone and never came back. Missed a lot of open 6-8 rooters plus some layups.

Or you just miss sometimes?

 

[Westcoast]

Yes. But we missed something like 11 out of 13 shots once Iowa went zone. And lots of the were really good looks.
Meanwhile Iowa missed almost no open looks. They were confidant. We weren't.

The difference in the game was foul shot attempt differential and missing under 10 feet shots.

We didn't play scared. The other team has a lottery pick. We don't at this point.
Simple as that
