Sigh-- I can live with those Bailey threes that he hit at the end... even if he did travel. AND HE DID.
But our D has not been good outside of those types of shots. Rebounding sucks!
100% re-reading that post made it seem like they SHOULD have taken that shot. I’m more in favor of Pitt being pissed about it as you said.
If Pitt had called off the dogs, making that bucket is more than meaningless to them in the eyes of the metrics.
In an era of NET efficiency and metrics correlating to tournament births, is there a thing such as a “meaningless” bucket? Every basket, point, etc matters. To the very end.
Watching a bit of the Murray St game. If you can find it, watch this crazy last minute. It’s had it all. A comeback, tech on the losing team, big turnovers and a fouled shooter up 3 from half court.
This game is always why I worry fouling up 3.
Highly ranked freshman who many planned to come in and have a Cinderella type season only to lose to teams like Kennesaw St and Princeton in the non-conference and are struggling in conference play. There’s just a lot of similarities.
Maybe-- Theoretically we could win 7 games and likely not pick up another Q1 win. I don't think that would get the job done with what would be a 1-13 Q1 record. (However we'd be 7-0ish in Q2)
