I think he was a little upset at his play and a little upset that he wasn't getting the ball.
He was WIDE open 2 times in the last 3 minutes and both times Burke took it by himself. It made THJ force shots because he wasn't getting touches.
He's so much better when he's in rhythm and this is why I think Burke has to distribute the ball more. He'll get it back, but keep everyone involved and their head in the game.
For those who've played basketball, we all know how frustrating it can be to be WIDE open for a shot and have someone go down the floor, see you, pass up the assist and turn the ball over or miss a wild shot. It's like "why did I even run down here and get in position?"
Am I saying it's an issue? No. It's just one of those things that happens. Tim did the same thing last year as a sophomore. Sometimes still does it. But I think he was frustrated at his lack of touches today, you could see everytime he DID get the ball, he was looking to score. He almost jacked up a crazy 3 at the end of the game which would've been a TERRIBLE shot, but he wisely pulled it back down.
Would've loved to see Coach B run a play for him out of one of those TOs late in the game like we ran in the Ohio game, but I'm not going to second guess much after a win.
Tim will bounce back, look for him to have a good game vs. Purdue.

Very proud of the team. Nice to get a big win. Played hard. I hope Tim keeps his head up, he looked very upset especially toward the end of the game. The guys showed a lot of heart after a disappointing couple of weeks. Go Blue!
