    Well, as far as Love goes, my point wasn’t to say that he’s a failed pick (though I’m probably a little less certain of him being the franchise QB of the next 10 years than I was a year ago), but to point out, having him sit multiple years required us to pay him franchise QB top dollar money after very little on field production. There was hardly any rookie QB contract to take advantage of. As far as the other examples, you stated repeatedly that it’s hard to find certain instant production late in the 1st, which may be fair, but the main examples of the 1st round projects in Gary and LVN, weren’t late 1st round picks. In the case of LVN there were certainly other, better prospects available with a better chance to contribute in their rookie seasons. Christian Gonzalez and Broderick Jones being the two most obvious examples.

    Well, it was stated even before the 2nd half that if we lost by 3 or less, that particularly play would loom large. That’s exactly what ended up happening. I do understand that you can’t just subtract 3 points from BYU’s score and state that we would have won 89-88 without the play, though.

    You know what would have guaranteed that they did NOT make a shot? Holding for last possession. An 8 point halftime deficit, against any team, is not a death knell. Given how the half went, I think it’s something that they could have felt good about. Hold for the last shot and your only deficit options at the half were 8, 6, or 5, any of which they could have lived with. There was nothing aggressive about the approach at the end of the first half. It was just bad situational awareness and bad clock management. Play good defense after making the shot? They didn’t play good defense after missing the shot, so why would the result have been any different?. I’d counter that if the solution was as simple as “play good defense so they have a low percentage shot”, we wouldn’t have given up 91 points.

    Who cares if you don’t get a good look with 1-2 seconds left? Even if you get no look at all you’re still only down 8. The whole point of holding for last shot is that it’s you score or nobody scores. You never want to give up that extra possession. Last possession in a half isn’t about finding the best look you can sometime in the last 30 seconds. It’s about ensuring that it is indeed actually the last possession. This is true in most circumstances, but especially in a game where you fought hard to at least be within striking distance at halftime and don’t want to do something careless just prior to kill the momentum.

    Did they have a timeout? That whole sequence was mostly on Gard, to me.

    I can handle the loss with the exception of the 3 points and possession that they just gave away for no reason at the end of the first half. That's what makes it hurt to me.
  7. adambr2
    They had rallied to down 8. They had some momentum going their way, and that completely took the wind out of their sails and made it 11 again at half. It was completely avoidable.

    Another good Badger team that didn’t amount to a fart in the wind once the tourney started.
  9. adambr2
    It’s not just on Crowl for the end of first half possession. Why isn’t Gard saying something? Why aren’t any teammates yelling “last shot?”

    You know what would have been super helpful right now? Holding for last shot at the end of the first half instead of rushing a shot and not only getting zero but giving up 3 on a possession that you never needed to give them.
  11. adambr2
    Someone help me understand why they rushed a shot on the last possession with the shot clock dark and as a result gave up a 3 to end the half to stretch the lead back out to double digits when they could have just held the ball and only been down 8.
  12. adambr2
    Why are you rushing a shot with 10-15 seconds left instead of holding for last shot? Just so incredibly stupid. You had an 8 point deficit at worst heading into the half and you just crapped on it.
  13. adambr2
    My god. You can’t miss the first shot of a 1 and 1 yet again. That’s 4 points off the board in the last 2 minutes just from the stripe.
  14. adambr2
    Bricking the front end of a 1 and 1 and then giving up 2 reloads on the next possession is a great way to kill a rally.
  15. adambr2
    Nice defense. This team was way overseeded as a 3.
  16. adambr2
    Demin straight up shoves Blackwell right in front of the official who does nothing.
  17. adambr2
    Brick, after brick, after brick. The wheels are going to come off if some of these don’t start falling.

    Klesmit has had an absolutely brutal tournament.
  19. adambr2
    Lazy effort by Crowl on both ends going for loose balls followed by an awful bail-out foul by Klesmit. Going to be a quick tourney exit if they don’t start showing a little more energy than this.
  20. adambr2
    Honestly, other than the usual 12/5 line upsets (which has seemingly been a thing since the beginning of time for some reason), not much Madness so far in this tournament.
  21. adambr2
    Hard to pull a 16/1 upset shooting 20% from the line, Alabama State.
  22. adambr2
    Nice opening win. Someone is getting upset on opening weekend, you never want to be on the wrong end of the big stunner. Montana made a little bit of a push midway through the second half, but the outcome of this game was never in serious doubt.

    They didn’t even get an NIT invitation, though, so I don’t think that they were particularly close. They weren’t going to accept anyway. I never understood teams turning down NIT bids. Maybe for some programs I guess it makes sense, but for pretty much any Horizon League team, get your kids that experience, those postseason reps. Maybe the NIT wouldn’t be treated like such a big joke if teams took it a little more seriously.

    I’m really tired of taking projects in the 1st. It’s just a dumb strategy. You have these guys for 4-5 years before they’re going to get paid and you want to redshirt them for half their rookie contract? I could excuse this if the approach was yielding huge impact players by year 3, but that hasn’t been happening. By all means go for a project with huge raw upside in the 4th round, but not in the 1st. This approach was most of the reason why we had no choice but to give Jordan Love a big extension when the entire NFL knew that it would probably have been better to at least get one more season to wait and see.

    Honestly, Gute needs to re-examine his approach in the 1st round and the types of players that he targets early, because his 1st round track record sucks.
