MBB: UC Davis (14-9, 7-4) at UC Riverside (15-9, 8-4) Thurs., Feb. 9 at 6:00 pm i missed the first half, but in the second half we just looked a step (or two) slow. toward the end, we had a couple defensive sequences where we forced a bad shot, were slow to the rebound, force a bad shot, slow to the loose ball and finally gave up a bucket. 2 points and about a minute off the clock. Pepper looked beat at the end. Losing the 20+ minutes of Beasley puts alot of pressure on Eli (and Johnson) and shortens the bench. Plus, he's one of the few that doesn't have more turnovers than assists.
My pet peeve with this team is letting the inbounds pass roll out to about half court. you maybe save a second BUT when you pick up the ball, the defender is right on you and you have to rush the offense. I've even seen us do it on a dead ball where there's no time advantage. when Ty did it late and TRAVELED i almost turned on the stream. very high school (JV) like.
