no setplacy , they've got to do a better job , getting the ball in . Happened twice more!

Really thot they controlled the game...until they failed getting out of the press!
After that, all downhill

Press break has been a problem throughout the year. The team showed great grit in this game, but three things I saw throughout the year came into play in the final minutes. Difficulty against full-court pressure defense, post offense (so many missed shots at the rim), and mediocre post defense.

No way those problems should not have been cleaned up

Today, breaking the press was not the problem. Getting caught in a corner, feeding someone close, then getting wrapped up in a wrestling match and settling for tie ups.
 
In the end, lots of good and bad with a team that had some adversity. But they pretty much beat the teams they should have (ahem except Indiana) and lost to all the ranked teams they played. Seems like they were often outscored in the fourth quarter (didn’t check to confirm). That, and the lack of signature wins, is the downside. Upside is another NCAA tournament made, good fan support, and next year looking solid.
 
I waited a day to share, I actually expected a 4th quarter collapse. As many good things this team did, closing games was not one of them. The team collectively couldn't handle pressure late and seemed to panic.

The traps late were terrible in the way they set up and where they caught the ball inbounding. That is coaching and scheme.

With 17 seconds on the clock and just down by 3, the team should have chucked a 3 as soon as they had any window, hit or miss it would give them the opportunity to tie, and some clock if they missed. They passed up 2 of them, ran 12 seconds off the clock, and missed a contested two which does noting to go for the win. That is also coaching as they had a timeout they used to set up the 17 second window of play, so should have been a point of emphasis.

All that being sad, hit a couple shots mid quarter and they could have had a different outcome.

Overall loved the team play this season , they seem a very good set of humans and basketball players. Need to find a post player next season and they can probably be as, or more, successful next season. Hope Potts comes back strong.
