Regarding Angel and the La Salle Game
In 36 minutes of play, Angel was 0-6, 4 fouls, 3 turnovers, 4 assists and 2 steals, including a massive wtf shot at the end of the game. The only thing he was key in was helping the Cat's lose the game. It was one of his worst games of the year.
Now, Beyond the awful first half play,the Cat's offensive play in the final 4:30 of that game was deplorable. Our shot selection couldn't have been worse, and I blame a significant part of that on Bruce. We should have immediately called a TO after Wright missed that FT with 9.6 left on the clock. I would have set up a play to either get Rodney or Shane a shot. Having the ball in Angel's hands to take the last shot was beyond stupid. IMO, that wasn't what Bruce wanted, it's what Angel wanted. Again, Bruce mismanaged the time on that last possession, but Angel drove straight into an area with 3 players waiting for him. Had he crossed half court and looked back, he would have seen Southwell open between half court and the 3 pt Arc, where Shane could have either driven to the bucket, or pulled up for a J in the final 5-6 seconds. Instead, Angel dribbles the final seconds into vast nothingness.
