Uncharacteristically (for me especially), I was not that bothered by the officiating. There is no way we should have been in the position of this game being up for grabs with under 2 minutes left. We have to be better with a 5-7 point lead. We had several of them that we allowed to evaporate to a 2-3 point lead with poor execution and decisions.

Until tomorrow...yes. MD is 75 in NET today, but they will likely drop tomorrow. Hopefully they start winning down stretch to finish in top 75. That would mean Quad 1 road win, Quad 2 home loss.

Idk they played the #13 NET team pretty close. I think they’ll stay sub-75

Really needed that win. Our offensive execution is almost flawless. Even when we go on scoring droughts I like the shots we get.

On the flipside I continue to be dumbfounded defensively. It's just not getting better and at this point I'm not sure what else they can do? It's kinda frustrating/depressing not seeing them improve this.

Also thought Young was gassed at the end. He had nothing left in the tank, and that was huge down the stretch. Credit to TJ especially for making it a tough game for him; probably the difference between this game and the one in Champaign.

Edit: He still finished with 28, but missed a few down the stretch and that was big.

MD looks like they played with a Wilson ball which is the same one used in the tournament. Our shot seemed good
