Here's a thought
« on: January 02, 2017, 02:46:24 PM »
MU could have grabbed either Carrington's or Sonoglo's missed FT and still lost.  Even making 2 FTs only makes it a 3 point lead.  Seton Hall could hit a 3 to tie and win in overtime.  Plus all the scenarios if MU misses a FT: SH wins with a 3 or "And 1", ties with a 2 and wins in OT.

So, yes the loss was frustrating, but at no point did I ever feel the game was in hand.  A missed dunk and missed layup set the stage for the final scenario.  Make either and I'll agree MU probably wins.  But we didn't so the game remained a coin flip.

Hopefully MU can pull victory from the jaws of defeat once or twice to make up for SH and Pitt.  I'm still optimistic MU can make a run at a tourney bid.  But it's going to be a bumpy ride for Team BubbleWatch.

Sure...and we still had the ball down by 3 with 9 secs left but dribbled into a double team. Tough ending no matter who had (or didn't) have the ball.

We seem to have a talent for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
