[QUOTE="TarheelIllini, post: 1576025, member: 747749"] That was one of the worst displays of passing, by both teams, that I have ever seen in my life. We lost to a team that had 8 assists, barely took any shots at the rim, and lived off 15-foot jump shots. That is the definition of losing basketball, and we lost to that team. Why? They blocked our weak drives to the hoop 7 times (when we should have passed to a teammate). They shot 5 more free throws than us (and made 6 more than us), which is especially odd considering they weren't aggressive driving to the hoop in half court or transition-- and we had a massive interior advantage with Kofi. And perhaps most of all uncanny, boneheaded plays at the most inopportune times. 2 missed free throws by Damonte, a turnover where the ball sllps out of Ayo's hand at the top of the key, an airballed 5 foot runner from Ayo, Kofi's failure to snag a rebound that practically hit him in the shoulder but instead is slapped out to Maryland who hits a 3 pointer....
