The Official Beat the Utah Utes in Salt Lake City in the NIT Quarterfinals Thread

[BaNgMyPrOgRaM]

We got this, right?

 

[MarylandRamFan]

Played poorly; shot <30%, out rebounded Utah 20-18, Max and Bam have combined for ONE point, and we’re only down 10?
Strange indeed.

 

[VCUFTW]

Weirdly feeling good about the second half and at least we already know that we can come back from down 10+

 

[CrozetRam]

He use to shoot plenty with people in his face.

He used to do that little juke and step back. Not seeing it lately.

 

[Thirstin4Burston]

I just got this weird feeling Fats is about to go off PSU style and win this game for us

would be awesome

 

[northernvatiger]

I think Odom needs to sit Max if he's hurt, or whatever is going on. He's not giving us anything out there.

 

[92VCUpikapp]

So we are within 10 with our best shooters MIA. More Fats until he misses two in a row. Might be his night. Let’s GO!!!

Okay, what in the world is wrong with Max?

he has given up it appears.

 

[HBK]

There is a poster who keeps wanting to see Wheeler in games. You saw in a minute or two why he doesn’t play. Two offensive fouls on sloppy screens and poor defense.

 

[VRam]

Wheeler directly responsible for a 7-point swing, would be very different if he didn't hit the floor. Disappointing end to the half.

Odom didn't look happy.

 

[RamStrut]

Max is a competitor. He’s not going to just check out.

 

[ramsareus]

Agree

I was thinking that. Noticed he is sitting a lot.

BUT, if he’s a liability - next man up.

 

[Ramdog]

I asked it earlier - how does Utah only have 21 wins. They have some talent on that squad.

We are making them look better than they are

 

[rammad90]

Wheeler didn’t work out. In fact he was the momentum killer. We can beat these guys but we have to hit shots. Every time we got close we couldn’t hit the shot.

Bam, Zeb, KK al have to step up. Plus guys who shoot 80% from the ft line have to hit their ft’a.

We are still in it LET’s Go VCU!

 

[Gopher+RamFan]

Might need to sit Max most of the 2nd half if his back is acting up. More of a liability without shooting and we played pretty well in that stretch without him.
