This team just can't finish. all goes to shit in the last 4-5 minutes in every game (sometimes earlier). the scoring droughts are just inexcusable. the lack of shooters is god awful, need guys that can hit a shot. Watson 0-5 from 3 and Palmer 1-7, not going to win many games doing that.
Heiman and Thorb should have been getting more minutes all year. Just aren't prepared for the rigors of Big Ten play. Thorb had 10 rebounds, seemed to have a nose for finding the ball, but he's only now getting significant action and isn't prepared. Saw in Warmups he was hitting 3s (was looking for the twitter feed of it but can't find it), kinda choked in the game on some good shots (missed an easy layup) but he hasn't gotten much playing time, so wasn't prepared for the pressure.
This team has at least 5 losses that could have easily been wins. Even playing like shit all night last night they still had a chance to take a lead and build on it in the second half.
But when your 3 best players shoot 12 for 42 and you shoot 28% as a team you aren't going to beat many teams in the conference.
Your bench gave you 3 points last night. 7 years in and you have NO depth on the bench. 51 points at home? And I haven't seen more missed shots at the rim in the last week since I watched my 7 year old nephew's game.
They'll be lucky if they win 4 more games this year.
