End of half/end of game possessions continue to be our bugaboo.

Because you don't want to give them another possession.

When you're tied, you want the worst possible outcome to be another overtime period. You play for one shot and hope it goes down.

Inadvertent, but a flagrant 1 at a minimum.

Can we 1 damm time run an actual play at the end of the game? Is that asking too much. ?

They wanted to take the shot and leave TCU no time to do anything after

It's really sad to Watch (well just the score alerts of what we knew would happen)

Mid pack group


That they are. Win or lose, they are a mid pack team. That said, they are putting forth good effort.

Prove everyone wrong

Take it

We win this and it will be the greatest game in our new arena. Otherwise, the inauguration game?

That's a really tough flagrant. I'll take it, but I don't like that call.

Yep. Usually we'd allow enough time for a 3/4 court heave or a coast to coast layup

I hate that it took a flagrant foul to do it, but for the first time in OT the Bears have the lead and the ball.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
That was a Flagrant 1 by definition, just like in the Kansas game. No way to call it anything else.

clutch by Walter

Understood. But if we don't score in that short time frame it's OT & they get multiple more possessions.

Walter has been rock solid on FT's when they most mattered! Impressive for a Freshman in this kind of high-pressure game.

That's a much larger margin for error than giving up one do-or-die shot when you don't have to.
