Second half @ MSU with about 5:20

[Hawksfinal4]

Left in the game Weezy rebounds and hands off to Connor who brings it up court , bounce passes into Nunge who passes it out to wide open Weezy for 3. Thing of beauty.

I remember watching that live and saying that was beautiful passing. The pass by Nunge was delivered exactly where Joe needed it to pop a jump shot without hesitation.

I know there were many others during that game JoeT to PMac long pass, ,JoeT to Nunge through the lane, Nunge to Connor , back door and that’s what I like about basketball in general and especially with this team. Crisp, clean passes that arrive in the right place at just the right time. This is why I think the Hawks can make a run

 

[GunnerHawk]

We pass the ball well at times hut some times chuck it up too early. Why shoot if you don't have anyone under the basket to rebound.

Watch Gonzaga, great passing team.

In my opinion, this was actually one of Joe T's better games. He did not force anything and moved the ball. He had several "hockey assists" and many casual fans don't understand how important the pass before the actual assist is. I'm not the biggest proponent of him as I believe he tries to do too much and becomes careless with the ball. More play like this and he will deserve and get more time on the court.

The pass from Nunge to cutting JT a few plays latter was even better IMHO.

Jack had a team high and career high 6 assists in the game.

You’re not wrong, Hawks are fun to watch when they pass like this last game

I would say most games the Hawks are fun to watch on the offensive end. When you lack great athleticism and ability to beat your defender off the dribble you better be superb at passing and shooting. We are fantastic at both and the offensive efficiency numbers show that. Fran is an absolute offensive genius and we really should be more aware of how lucky we are to have him in that sense. Not saying he doesn't have faults but his ability to coach offense is top five in the country.

He played 12 minutes and had 0 turnovers. That is fantastic for him. If he can eliminate the turnovers, the rest of his game is playable (being a better shooter would help too). You are right, if he just makes the easy pass/play that is going to help him immensely. If it gets late in the shot clock, then yes it's time to force the action. But otherwise just keep it moving. If the defense gives you a driving lane, take it.
