It didn't matter where we got him the ball. A lot of times at the end he got the ball at the top of the key and just worked his guy over. Part of what put Morgan in that position was that was a game where Archie sat Davis for long stretches in the second half because of the poor matchup. That allowed Morgan to essentially play the 5 and operate in the paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy River Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Just gotta say, Sanders hit shots last night that I haven't seen since the old Bird/Magic McDonald's commercials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just meant that I don't see that game as a game where Miller coached an amazing end of the game and called a bunch of plays that got us a lot of easy scores. I remember during the game thread, some people were even questioning his coaching during the second half. He did some nice things as a coach this year, but I view that game as a game where Morgan had the game of his life, and McRoberts made a couple massive hustle plays that got us the win (not to mention a guy missing 2 free throws with a second remaining that would have won ND the game). I would point to many other games before the ND game where I thought Miller coached better games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall Miller sitting David which partly allowed Juwan to play as well as he did, but then late in OT when we needed a bucket he put Davis back in an ran a play specifically for him where we scored. If I remember correctly, it was the score before McRoberts big offensive rebound that won us the game. I also remember tweets after that game from media guys praising Archie’s coaching.
