🎲🐾🎰🏀Coug Notes 4

 That was a rough one - the Cougs lost to the Colorado Buffs 58-52 - all good - we should still be a 5 seed in my estimation and 6 at the worst in the NCAA tourney, our first since 2008 - here are just a few notes from this final PAC 12 tourney semi final ⬇️ 

• Both teams shot ice cold from the field - the Buffs were 22/51 (43.1%) and the Cougs 22/52 (42.3%) and from beyond the three point arc just 3/15 (20%) for the Buffs and 4/19 for the Cougs (21.1%).

• The Cougs had 19 turnovers and the Buffs just 12 - the Buffs outscored Wazzu on points off turnovers 16-6…also both teams had just 10 assists. 

• Both teams scored 34 points in the paint and amazingly the Cougs had 0 points on the fast break while the Buffs had just 7.

• The Cougs shot just 7 free throws and made 4 while the Buffs shot 17, making 11…also the Cougs dominance of the boards continued as they had 37 boards to the Buffs’ 29 including 14-10 offensive boards.

• Myles Rice continued to struggle from the perimeter as he went 0-6 from deep and also had 5 turnovers vs only 2 assists - it was a rough game for young Myles and not representative of his magical PAC 12 Freshman of the Year season. 

All good - keep your head up team and keep looking forward - you got this in the NCAA tourney! Chemistry, teamwork, positive attitudes, focus…just do what you did all season, lock in guys, ya got this, squad and GO COUGS!🐾🏀
