Wasting too much time to come back

Too late to trade baskets. Have to foul, and do it qucik

Down 4 with 30 seconds to go. Watson with a lucky three

The shot itself wasn't lucky, just the fact he got it off was lucky. 57-61

 

[redout22]

We are 10/11 from the FT line. Not bad

 

[redout22]

64-61 Cincy with 8 seconds left. Cincinnati ball, we are about to foul.

 

[redout22]

Wish we would have played with this urgency a minute and a half ago..

Gotta give credit where credit is due.

Tough first round match for us, Cincy is a legit 6-0 ranked basketball team. They made free throws, when it counted, rebounded the ball with much better efficiency than we did, and made their three's. They are ranked top 5 nationally in committing fouls so we knew they were a disciplined team, and they played disciplined today. Hung tight against a very good basketball team but it would have been nice to squeak out this victory. On to the next one.

Atta boy redout. My main Bball, fellow cub fan poster. Well done.

Shocking that a stat we knew would punish this team would be their ending today, defensive rebounding. This year the lack of size hurts this, but this had been an ongoing problem for years. Always find a way to give a team multiple possessions at critical parts of the game. Effort and attitude can change that on a height challenged team.

Did Cincy go full court pressure? And if so did NU handle it better then their normal 8th grade effort?
