This was a a big "culture" win imo.....it really doesn't move the needle overall for our trajectory this year but it's a nice comeback win before a decent Homecoming crowd that the program can build on. Agreed. I think HC is the team you don’t want to draw in the PLT. They will continue to improve and be a lot better team than their record indicates.

Was flagrant 1 the right call ? I like that we are winning with freshmen playing a big roll

"Move the needle" or not... the progress is palpable. And the "finding ways to lose" mentality is being shed.

How great was it to see the coach draw up a play that actually worked at the end of the game?

Then don’t pursue the rebound, but with 2.7 seconds left, AU isn’t attempting a 2PT FG. It’s immaterial whether we are up one or two when they’re going to be shooting a three. Sounds logical but I wonder why DP's four decades in the game makes him reject the miss on purpose? Did AU have a time out ? Even if they were out of time outs, not all coaches agree that a miss is the best strategy. The shooter could miss the rim. The team with the lead could foul on the final shot.

AU didn’t have a timeout. Nothing can convince me that making is the right decision. AU would be starting with the ball from standstill position 85 feet from the basket with the clock moving. Instead, they were able to inbound the ball near halfcourt and got a pretty good look at the basket.

I thought for sure CK was going to take his practice motion without the ball and then immediately chuck the ball toward the rim.

Inbounded under the basket but passed near halfcourt and were running forward.

That miss has to be practiced. All possible players in at the end have to change their mentality to try to miss.

Loved the grind of the team to find a way to win.
While none of us knows what happens each day in practice, I would like to see a certain freshman guard, who has played well on both ends of the floor in almost every game, be on the floor during the last few minutes of every game.
We are getting better and today was a positive outcome for Crusaders

Coaches coach, players play, and parents/fans cheer on but need to keep quiet. So I mention no names and allow you each to do your own eyeball tests and analysis.

I liked using our fouls down 2 to get on the verge of 1 and 1.
But let’s not have our starters foul then.

That miss has to be practiced. All possible players in at the end have to change their mentality to try to miss. I partially agree. A foul shot that is missed on purpose in such a way that it comes back to the shooter is difficult even with extensive practice. A foul shot that is missed on purpose with no requirement for it to come out deep is a lot easier to execute. You simply take your normal shot but aim slightly to the right or left. That said, you have to believe that based on stats, after hitting three in a row CDP had to believe this was a very high chance that a 52% shooter would miss the 4th naturally. Regardless, nice comeback win. Somehow I feel as though, if Nelson had been coaching, that last shot would have banked in! 😀

What was his percentage chance of drawing two pairs of aces, four in a row?
