RockRaines Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Cuse wishes that Aaron Craft made that shot. Dayton is a bad matchup for them if they can't shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoomSlowik Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Got a golden opportunity and they waste it on a mid-range jumper with like 9 seconds left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Wow, two terrible shots by Ennis to end the game. Â 1) Why would you settle for a mid-range jumper when you weren't really even open? 2) Why go for a long 3 when you had more than enough time to drive in a 2 point game?

ZoomSlowik Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 On a somewhat related topic, I don't get why Ennis is considered a lottery pick by some people. He looks a lot like a dozen other guys that are fringe NBA starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) I don't understand all the love for Ennis, either. In terms of pro ability, Grant and Fair are probably the guys. Â His poor shooting/shot selection was the reason they were behind for most of the 2nd half. Â In the end, I don't think they made a single three pointer and Dayton had 6-7. Â He's effective at driving the ball to the hoop and getting fouled...but he's not a standstill jump shooter. Â The announcers said the defense was hedging to force him to shoot from the outside late, daring him.

At that point in the game it isn't like you need to take a jumper to make them respect that you will to keep the drive option open. Go To The Hole.

2nd_city_saint787 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Wiggins has been a complete non factor in this game. Â As a guy who doesn't follow the regular season and has heard all about this draft class I've been fairly disappointed with what I've seen so far. I was expecting guys like Parker and Wiggins to dominate. Â You can throw Ennis in there as well though, he's not as highly touted as the other 2. Â I know it's very short sighted to say these guys aren't any good, and that's not what I'm saying, but still.

RockRaines Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Well if you haven't seen a single regular season game then yes it's short sighted. Wiggins was their leading scorer last game. So judging players by one game in the NCAA tournament is pretty bad. Edited March 23, 2014 by RockRaines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Precisely why I added those points (haven't watched em/very short sighted)....I don't question that they're still big time talents, I was just hoping to see these uber talents go off on the biggest stage.

Rowand44 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I want to know why Frankamp barely played in the 2nd half, he was the only who could hit a jumper for them. Odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 It's totally unrealistic but if for some reason Parker and Wiggins stayed one year think of the rosters. Alexander and Wiggins, Parker and Okafor. Man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Yeah, most of Duke's players weren't stellar as freshmen. The best besides Parker are probably Jay Williams (14.5-4-6.5 but middling percentages and 4+ turnovers), Brand (about 14-8, might have been better if he hadn't broken his foot), Deng (15-7, 48% shooting) and Irving (17-3-4 on 53% shooting, but missed a good chunk of the year).
