Dude just dribble up the court and get fouled
Wtf was Hyatt doing. Why did he pass it backwards
- Thread starter Salvi's Headband
- Start date
Because he has no confidence in his FTs. Really sad to see that he was halfway up the court pretty much by himself and he elected to pass back….. instead of running up the court. So wild.
Not Hyatt’s fault. He tried to get it to his guards - PM made maybe the stupidest play I’ve seen in a very long time.
Ridiculous comment......when you get the ball there you dribble across midcourt. You don't pass the ball back.
Said the same thing in the game thread. He caught it with 20 seconds left and 4 MN players well behind him and just one guy on the defensive end. Even if he just dribbles it over half court and wastes 3-4 seconds and gets fouled, we're shooting FTs with maybe 16 seconds left and up 3, instead of giving up possession and them cutting it to 1. We can blame Paul all we want and he was bad, but that play killed the game for us, probably. You'd think he could've made at least 1 of 2 FTs.
It’s bc we have players who don’t have a high IQ
It seems like he could have dribbled to the front court and waste time at a minimum.
There was only one guy back. He could have passed to Cliff if the defender came to him for a slam.
Yup. Basic things kids should have learned playing hoop in grammar school.
Is it possible he doesn't know you only get ten seconds to cross half court. By passing backwards he made it a frantic situation where we had to rush.
It was a terrible decision by Hyatt but we also almost had multiple backcourt violations in that last minute.
It’s like the entire team completely forgot how to play basketball in all aspects in the last 70-80 seconds.

I’ve said it before, we were lucky to have 2 composed senior leaders in Geo and Ron. That composure is gone now
Needed to use the timeout and calm everyone down.
He turns around it’s a 2 on 1 alley oop to Cliff
See my thread with the pic of Hyatt catching the ball with 20 seconds left. Easily could've done that.
Hyatt isn't a center. There is no one remotely close to him. He needs to take it past half court
Why would you even risk that? Dribble around and waste 7 seconds and get fouled. There was one defender on that half of the court.
LOL. Thanks for that, I can finally laugh again.
Pike should break this out as the quick review of game film.
First thing you do in the situation is get over half court and keep your dribble for as long as possible. Frankly, I’m trying to bait the guy left to come at me to give Cliff a dunk. If he doesn’t, just run around as long as they let you. Could have had 13-14 seconds left, shooting free throws. At worst you miss both and you are in a similar situation with 3-4 less seconds than what actually happened. Think about how much a difference 3-4 seconds make at that point.
That was so infuriating. How the heck was he a four star recruit? He was a deer in the headlights.
This is on Pike, Simpson shouldve been in the game for him there.
Not when you have OPEN FLOOR IN FRONT OF YOU AND THEY ARE ALL BACK COURT!!!
Mulcahy and Hyatt were in total panic mode. All each had to do was hold the ball and get fouled. Mind boggling how 2 seniors were so frazzled
Been saying this for the past 5 games; Simpson needed to be in the game the last 5 minutes. He‘a one of the only guys who actually wants the ball in his hands.
