MBB Final: UL 81, Georgia Southern 82

Simple equation... Oil crash won't help donations and no money. He can want to do it all he wants but with economic forecasts it's a mute point.

We've gone through this. How do you know nobody would step up? The same oil bust was in place when we made all of our coaching changes and salary increases the last couple of years. It's only a moot point if you don't feel a change is necessary. The AD doesn't.

But he handed the ball to ced right from the inbound pass

I just saw the replay. Coach says the play was for Mylik to take the last shot. That would appear to be correct as at first (after Cajun's timeout) Mylik was set to inbound to Cedric. After GASO timeout he had Ced inbound to Mylik. Why did Mylik dribble down the sideline instead of going to the top of the key?!! It looks like the play was to hand off to Ced. Then Ced goes to the top and then gets double teamed! Then he passes to Mylik.
If coach drew that up?!! All we needed was a 2pt. bucket or getting fouled on the attempt. Mylik would have been the best opportunity imho.
C'est tout fini.

It really doesn’t matter. They’re going to make Bob the longest tenured basketball coach of all time. Gerry is right behind him on the women side.

GASO only had 4% chance to win

When you only score 8 points with a 15 point lead in the last 10 minutes...you need a 20 point lead. Wasted opportunity.

Exactly. You needed a 2 point basket to win. You force the defense to defend and possibly foul. We should have been doing this the last couple of minutes anyhow.

16 point lead but who's counting. We hit a 3 to go up 69-53. Scored 12 points the rest of the way. Credit to their coach. He worked for good shots and got them. They shot over 50% both inside and out of the arc.

Gotcha

I'm certainly not a basketball coach but it's amazing how many defenders crash down on a drive to the basket, thus freeing up 1 or 2 open men for short range baskets. That's what GaSo did down the stretch.

Yes, they played smarter to create better shots.

Their shot selection and circus basketball was not a whole lot better than ours down the stretch. The difference was that their 3's went down better than ours. It was pretty bad basketball.
