Glad to get the win, but that was the football equivalent

of completing a hail mary for a touchdown off a defender's facemask after they missed a chip-shot field goal. We'll take it!

NAH, this is confusing. If the ball hit the players facemask, wouldn't the game be called Lacrosse.

The play was to be a 3, because Coach B had to assume Alvarado would make both free throws.
Missing the FTs helped, because their D had to cover the whole court, which made Wright slow to switch on the ballsxreen Sims set at midcourt.
But don't pretend this was some 8th grader's prayer being answered. I agree that Honor probably only hits this shot 25% of the time, but I think he's clutch enough to make it 50% of the time the game is on the line.
Great, hard-fought win. Great foul shooting. Good rebounding. Couldn't get enough stops, and our turnovers kept them alive. I would have loved to beat them by 18, but I'm glad for this before our road trip.

Bahre is coming into the lane and no one blocks him out...he would have had time for a put back if it missed.

Just win baby. Goodness knows we’ve lost plenty of games like that over the years.

much higher standard than our Football team and then whine about inconsistency at the same time and then explain away the utter disappointment that the 2020 football season was considering "what we had coming back, and expectations for Dabo's best team ever"
