Feed Maurice the freakin ball.   He should touch the ball on literally every possession.   He's your man.  He's your hope.  He's your upside.  He makes good things happen.  He attracks a double team and will find you open.  He is your ticket should you do anything special this year.  He's your only consistent scoring option outside of Nick.

I've been waiting to see this moment all year.  22 seconds left, tied game--who do we go to?  You'd hope a set play for Maurice.  But what?  He doesn't even touch the ball.  We fiddle around and nobody seemingly wants the ball and we literally don't get a shot off.  Give Maurice the ball 100% of the time in these situations and let's see what he can do, because what we saw at the end of this game is exactly what I expected if Maurice didn't touch it.

If you watched immediately JC went after Stevie and gave him a faceful.  I don't think we saw what was drawn up.

Apologies for the emotional response/post regarding the last shot in regulation.  Just awful.  Very thankful Nicks shot went in for OT, because that had a high degree of difficulty and Im possibly barking again if it's an airball in regards to why we're drawing up a bomb with 8 seconds left.

Good news is that in the OT, it appears the memo got to the players, "CG says feed Maurice and he sounds upset."    If we kind consistently find a way to get him the ball and teach guys like Ricardo how to feed the post, Maurice can take this team places it won't go if he's not the focal point of the offense.

I understand completely.  I still go off when I think about PUNTING INSIDE THE OPPONENTS' 35?  WHAT'S THAT ALL ABOUT?

Just getting ready for tomorrow.

Thanks for confusing me as to what forum I'm on!  

Watched the webcast of the game.  I agree with Chicken that Maurice is our ticket to the NCAAs this year.  I'm hoping that Nick's winning three will give him more confidence in that shot going forward.  This was a great win!  

Here's hoping that TT can take a page out of Nick's book and Maurice's book tomorrow.  Go OHIO!

I think this was the premise to an episode of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air".
