basketball fan. These are simply my observations.
1. We are a collection of really good players. We are not a good team.
2. Coaching the last few seconds of regulation was horrible. I don't care what analytics say. Simple arithmetic says if a team is down by three with under five seconds left, send them to the line to shoot one and one. Two is less than three every time.
3. I believe any casual observer watching most of the second half would have concluded that GT was the better team. They played tight D and we struggled to get open looks. Their players were creating open looks off the dribble. We were not.
4. I believe all three of these are coaching issues.

in fact mine showed it was on basketball. So you're going to nitpick today and offer no value or actual intellectual conversation. You're not negating anyone's point by being a little #####.

It seems like coaches would finally realize that about the 3 point lead at the end. Purnell would not foul either. Both coaches had several games go down the tube by letting teams tie with a three close to the final buzzer. After one time they should learn. Especially with rebounders like Hall and Shieffelin.

I agree with fouling to keep them from shooting a 3 but we lost because of the 3's Tech did make and the 18 we did not make. Numbers don't lie.

So is this a luck thing?

In case you're searching, the answer is no. We were bested, as unfortunately we have been 4 out of the last 5 outings.

1. Our players aren't as good as you think.
PJ Hall is great. Everyone else is limited and that's with me thinking Schieffelin is awesome.
We don't have a single player that can create their own shot.
