What is the “Win Time” and how Malik Dia invested in it in Ole Miss’ Win vs South Carolina – Clarion Ledger

Jr. Ole Basketball striker Miss Malik Dia said he didn’t want to take any minutes in the game for granted. However, certain times on the court are particularly valuable.

“It’s an incredible blessing to be there in winning time,” Dia said.

No. 23 Ole Miss defeated South Carolina 72-68 on Wednesday night in Colombia. The rebels (19-6, 8-4 seconds) have had an exceptional game in the last five or six minutes that coach Chris Beard calls “Win Time.”

And Dia was the hero in winning the time against Gamecocks. He lifted his fourth foul with the remaining 15:38 in the game, which forced the beard to hold him on the bench for much of the half. When Dia obeyed 7:40, he turned his game up.

Immediately after South Carolina (10-14, 0-11), he led 58-57 lead with a stay of 6:55, Diam scored the next 12 points of Ole Miss. He restricted his offensive blitz with one man with a dagger with a 3-chain with 2:04. This put the rebels 69-66 and they hung the rest of the road.

“Going out and playing during this time, it’s just to know when it’s time to get, when to be aggressive and get to the paint,” Dia said.

The Beard’s team has gathered strong backup performances. Against LSU on February 8, Ole Miss Delete 11 points with less than three minutes to win an incredible road victory.

Dia played badly against LSU (0-6 firing) and through self-inflicted foul problems on Wednesday could not pick up a lot of speed in the first half. Beard said that a high -level game at the end of the second half is the type of performance that can nourish the confidence in games or years.

“It was a step in the right direction, I think not only for the season of Dia, but also the career,” Beard said. “We are training Dia difficult. Many players in the country would probably not want or could take the high expectations we set him. This is no other reason but to believe in it … let’s go out there and have the position, confidence, The belief in yourself playing the best of your time in the last four, five or six minutes of the game was a great step for him.
