[QUOTE="Cymoin, post: 1511575, member: 582451"] You've heard a few coaches and TV analysts say that the last 5 minutes of the half are unique in how they seem to impact a game. Winston exited the 1st half at the 5-minute mark after picking up his second foul. From that point, MSU scored 5 points: 2 on a technical, a basket by Rocket Watts (there's a name) and 1 of 3 foul shots made to end the half. The Illini had 4 more shot attempts than MSU over the final 5 but missed 8 of the 12 they had, most of them being in the paint. Frazier also missed their lone FT attempt...front end of 1n1. Here's my dilemma/consternation: we learned what to do with Winston on the bench for an extended period when MSU played V-Tech. Why did we not employ a press over the final 5 with the kid that they have as his backup? And why not go after Winston at the start of the 2nd half to try to get #3 while the game is still close? Very puzzling... [/QUOTE]
