Not a bad theory. It would explain why Heldt stepped out of the way and allowed a virtually uncontested layup

Maybe he was making sure that Georgetown didn't get the win with a three point play.

He could at least put his hands up and safely challenged the shot, but he actually looked like he was creating space for him to drive under the basket.

The problem was we were disorganized and were running back with our backs to the ball.  Mulmore didnt actually pick up the ball to almost half court with the clock stopped.  Had we had the prescence of mind to have a guy on the free throw line forcing him to pick up the ball and ideally make him zig or zag it would have dramatically reduced his time and in all likely hood forced a deep dep running shot from 3. 

THANK YOU!

Guard the ball out of bounds, for crying out loud and put a soft full-court press on the ball and guess what, that shot doesn't go off. You got make 'em work for the shot, which we did not do and they knew it.

Sorry folks, that's coaching. That's our guys not knowing the circumstances of play and not being ready. If that had happened with Al, Kevin. The Tanned One or even the Hillbilly were here, we'd have a couple of extra scholarships available because Al, Kevin, The Tanned One or the Hillbilly would have KILLED them.

Part of what this play says is that there isn't a mental toughness on this team. A killer instinct they do not have and a discipline necessary to lock down an opponent or kill 'em when they're down just does not exist.

That crowd was pathetic, but those cheers were loud and clear!

My section and the one next to it were predominantly MU supporters. Except for the students (who did a pretty good job being loud) the crowd probably had between a third and a half MU fans.
The students were pretty mum when We Are broke out.

Lol. Okay guy.

There's been overwhelming evidence to the contrary. In this game alone, they endured a 20 point swing including double digit deficit and didn't let it get them down, fighting back for a win.

Let alone the numerous other examples this season.

There's a lot you can quibble about with this team. Mental toughness is not one of them

How do you know that Wojo didn't KILL them after the game for that?

I think coming back to win after a 20 point swing and winning in OT after you thought you had the game won in regulation shows mental toughness

Brother TAMU, if they were playing Villanova or Xavier, I might agree with you. But they came back on Georgetown doing the thing they do well all season — hit 3s. If they had played defense, I might have agreed with you. But when they gave up the coast-to-coaster, well, something was really wrong.

Georgetown is a bad team now.

As to whether he killed them or not, was their blood? Or funerals at Gesu? Just kidding but I would not even want to think what Al would have done after that play!

As has been pointed out in the game thread, many players might have though Sams shot a 3.  Also give credit to GU for not calling a time out letting us set our D and get Jamal and Greg into the game.   GU may be a bad team, but there is no such thing as a bad conference win, especially at the end of February.  Learn from the experience, take the W and run.

dg, call it poor coaching or bad defense or Jupiter aligning with Mars. But mental toughness? It ain't easy responding in OT the way the Warriors did if you have just blown a lead by allowing an end-to-end drive. I would say they showed incredible mental toughness.

Maybe we just define mental toughness differently. I say being able to overcome adversity (even if it is self-induced) and prevail in the end shows a lot of mental toughness.

i'm not worried about our mental toughness. Physical toughness? That's a horse of a different color.
