Thank you Watson. Your only points of the year come in garbage time to screw my bet

Uh, he scored 25?

Pretty sad when you care so much about a bet that you bash a player for playing hard until the end of the game. He played well today

He doesn't need strength to bend his knees and block a guy out. He stands straight up every time; it's clear he never had to box anyone out in Class B. 

Correct,  he played against 6' 3" players.  I watched him play hs, I have been totally impressed with him this year.   He is not strong enough & needs to be coached up.

Key plays of the game were the two tip ins with less than a second left on Purdue shot clock. Both times the lead was extended to 2 possessions or more and also provided momentum changes from a possible shot clock violation or the ball going the other way.

Yup. Poor execution at crunch time has been a Hallmark of this team.

He kept the huskers in the game.

Palmer was 2-12. #SMGDH

What you don't see in the stats is palmer dribbling the clock down and giving the rest of the team last second defended shots.

I wonder if there was a same mentality with Petteway a few years ago? 

To a lesser extent.  That team was more of a Walt vs TP bigger ego show and had a player( Shields) that would actually call people out and try to be a leader on and off the floor when others wouldn’t.

 

This team lost that guy in Copeland on the court

Chance of winning went from .000001% to 0% when he drove for that lay-up instead of shooting a quick three. Played hard, wasn’t a smart decision, but we are used to it by now.

What do you mean? They were down by 5 with 4.5 seconds. They weren't going to win whether he shot a 2 or a 3.

Drill a 3 with a second left, steal and make a shot. That’s a tie for OT. Was it going to happen? .000001% chance. Which means “no”.

 

 

If you run the clock out for a lay-up that you barely get the shot off, you automatically turn your opportunity to 0. He ran the clock out.

You know that is not going to happen. Come on, be realistic. Quit dogging on Watson. He played a good game. And it takes a good 2-3 seconds to take the ball up the court, there would have been no time on the clock if he shot a 3 and made it. The game was over either way, plain and simple.

I 100% agree it wasn’t going to happen. 

 

Im not digging on Watson, he plays with great effort and I’ve enjoyed watching him for 4 years. He does have some poor shot selection though.

 

The buzzer sounded after his layup went through the net. You do the math. There would’ve been time on the clock after a made 3 pointer. It’s very nit picky of me, I admit. Point is, it took us from more than a miracle to actually impossible.
