[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1576108, member: 3916"] The 3 pter by Scott at the end of the first half started the worm turning in their favor, imho....We stopped feeding Kofi, who had 16 pts in the first half, and that turned it into a perimeter game that was dominated by Curbelo drives and poor shot selection. it seemed to me that both teams were trying to give the game away and the dagger was the tipped out rebound that Kofi could have snagged but ended up being the Hart 3 pter...If you replayed that shot it was close to going over the basket but caught just enough rim to swirl around and go down , just like our chances to win.. The 2 missed FTs by DMW hurt but when he was out of the game was when we struggled a lot on D......I have been very critical of DMW in the past but he didn't lose this game....Our lack of adjustments to the double teams on Kofi and very poor decisions on shot selection doomed us to a very damaging home court B1G loss....this will either be a wake up call or worse a forecast of the rest of the season.... A loss to Nebby will take us out of contention for the B1G trophy and a much lower seed for the dance... [/QUOTE]
