[QUOTE="CEB, post: 998927, member: 4905"] WRT the bolded, it was actually a little worse than that. We were up by 9 with a little over 8 to play. Lville went on a 28-5 run over about a 7 minute span at that point. The “something” that happened was a whole lot of things. We gave 28 points in a little over 7 minutes. It was awful defense, but it was also really awful rebounding. Lville wasn’t lighting it up… probably 10 of those 28 came on second chance points and maybe another 8-10 came at the FT line. As to the rebounding, Ndongo and Claude fouled out in that stretch, but the run (and offensive boards) started before they fouled out. We didn’t go to the glass at all and we have got to get better at blocking out. When our shots aren’t falling, the last thing we can afford is to give opponents multiple chances. Another thing that I think happened is that sometimes it’s easier to hit the “big” shot in the clutch than it is to consistently make the right play and get the easy shot… especially with an inexperienced team. We stagnated offensively, missed FT opportunities and generally got one look at the basket late in the game. To your point about “something” happening, these all are symptoms… not the root “something.” I don’t know if guys eased up, or tensed up, or just flat out panicked but we really played poorly for the last 8 minutes.
