Yeah, it's not like you can know they're going to tie it up, you're trying to go get a basket. Just bad luck.

They did exactly what they were taught & they were taught correctly

this is a tough one...we were going for the ball near the paint - you come out with it and shoot and you might make it and/or get fouled - can't fault the players there. 0.1 seconds from the end of that game going a completely different direction.

Other observation - I've seen this too many times this season, and I cannot remember the clock tonight but I believe we were up 5...maybe 2:xx left in game? Pop drives the lane as fast and haphazardly as he can, turns it over...they go get 5 quick points and its tied again. I just don't understand what the freaking rush is in these situations. We drive the lane like we are desperate for something.

Well we're definitely desperate to get the shot up before anyone's bigs come swooping into block it. That happened tonight with Isaacs but also with Lane and Dibba too. Hard to complain about turnovers when we had six in the entire game and one in the second half (Dibba) and scored 1.3 points per possession in the game.

Bama had 15.2 seconds on the clock when they passed the ball in.

The jump ball is called a 5.1 seconds left

15.2-5.1=10.1 - common sense says 10 second violation

exactly. commentators were saying 15.0 and i was like i KNOW i saw a number other than 0 after the 15 when they threw it in

The TV clock was either wrong or something, because they did talk that over.

You always go for the loose ball

Clearly not

I think you're just trying to stay on the offensive with the lead which I'm okay with, as long as it's good shot selection. We had many late in the game that just didn't go down.
