Terrible offense

Easily worst game. Out rebounded by 25. Terrible shooting. D fell apart in the 2nd half. Erikstrup was non-existent most of the game.
Not terrible offense. The WSU players passed, went inside, and outside, and got a lot of super wide open 3 point shots, shot by normally good 3 point shooters, that were missed, and shouldn't have been missed.
WSU was about 1 for 9 from super wide open, good 3 point shots. And WSU was about 45% from hand in face bad 3 point shots.
WSU missed so many super wide open awesome 3 point shots. It was PATHETIC, TERRIBLE SHOOTING.
And because of that bad shooting, SMU players, including their 7-2 shot blocker, played PACK IT IN ZONE, CLOG THE PAINT, DONT LET WSU SCORE INSIDE DEFENSE.
If WSU had hit 3,4,5,6 of those 9 super wide open 3 point shots, not only would WSU have won by 3 points, but would have opened up the inside to score inside.
WSU's passing, driving, assist, LACK OF TURNOVERS, WAS A AWESOME OFFENSE, except for the bad shooting. WSU players DID NOT JUST JACK UP BAD 3'S nonstop. WSU's awesome offense set up awesome 3 point shot opportunities within the natural flow of the offense, that were pathetically missed.
Also SMU played EXTREMELY TOUGH, GOOD DEFENSE.
Terrible shooting, and 50% from the freethrow line, and the lots of SMU offensive rebounds, and 4th chance points by SMU, is why WSU lost, NOT supposedly just standing around and jacking up bad 3 point opportunities, shots.
WSU did not just stand around. They MOVED, SET SCREENS, PICK AND ROLLS, CUTS, GREAT PASSING, ETC.
And even the TV announcers said that WSU was just missing awesome shot opportunities.

Jacking up BAD 3's with a hand in your face, is not a offense. WSU DID NOT DO THAT.
Getting, creating, taking, shooting SUPER WIDE OPEN 3 point shots, within the natural flow of the offense by very good 3 point shooters, IS NOT JACKING UP BAD 3 POINT SHOTS.
Those 8,9,10 3 point shots, that were super wide open, were shots where the nearest defender was about 6 to 8 to 10 feet, yards, away, and where the shooters taking those shots, were, are very good, very high percentage shooters, as far as making, hitting 3 point shots.
Those shots SHOULD HAVE BEEN HIT, MADE, NOT MISSED.
It was ULTIMATE PATHETIC SHOOTING.
THE SHOOTING WAS SO BAD, THAT THEY WOULDNT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HIT THE OCEAN, IF THEY HAD A WIDE OPEN SHOT AT THE OCEAN, AND ALL DAY TO AIM.
The offense, players did not just stand around on the perimeter doing nothing, waiting to shoot, jack up bad 3 point shots, etc.
The offense, players moved a lot, made a lot of cuts, screens, pick and rolls, awesome passes, lack of turnovers, etc. The offense, players did everything a offense, player should do, EXCEPT HIT SHOTS BECAUSE OF TERRIBLE SHOOTING.
Like I said, even the TV announcers mentioned how EXTREMELY BAD THE SHOOTING was.
Your being a DUMBASS.
The biggest reason why WSU lost was because they got dominated on the boards 51-25. The Cougars also ran out of gas playing back-to-back games. Yes, SMU also played back-to-back games, but they have an experienced team. While we are bringing in mostly freshman backups, they are bringing in experienced players. It was obvious that missing Coward was huge. Also huge is not having Marcus Wilson. He is the backup point guard, and it shows when Calmese is out of the game. The offense comes to a halt.
Yeah, the 3 big reasons why WSU lost according to the TV announcers, you, others, is 1. Missing 10 WIDE OPEN 3 POINT SHOTS, that like you said, their shooting legs were gassed from the back to back games, and having Coward and Marcus Wilson out. 2. Getting out rebounded 50 to 25, giving up lots of offensive rebounds, and giving up lots of 2nd, 3rd, 4th chance points. 3. 50% from freethrow line.
Other then those 3 things, WSU actually got a lot of good shot opportunities within the flow of the offense that they missed. Passed, moved, cut, etc, well, had only about 7 turnovers all game long, which is very good, and played good defense most of time, which was negated by bad rebounding, bad shooting, bad freethrow shooting.
If I was the coach, I would tell them, that the good, was that they played hard, had good offense as far as passing, getting good awesome shot opportunities, getting to the freethrow line, not turning ball over, playing good defense, etc.
I would tell them the bad was bad shooting, bad 50% from freethrow line, bad rebounding.
They did not just stand around Jacking up bad 3 point shots a lot. There were a couple, few, some, but most of the 3 point shots were very good 3 point shot opportunities, where, that more of them should have been made.
It's nice that at least 1 other person here gets these things.
