[QUOTE="brillinian, post: 1354670, member: 8238"] So, 4 things in this game lead to our downfall, IMO. One, we have only one shooter as of now, AJ. Nobody else on this team can hit anything from 3 pt land. Two, they had 4 guys that could knock down the 3 ball and did so tonite. Three, we have no idea how to play against a zone. First time we went zone ourselves, NW passed in to high post, kicked out to a wide open 3 pt shooter, BAM. And four, something nobody else has pointed out in this thread yet that I thought was huge at the time and given the outcome of the game, I was correct. That is in the first half, we were up 7 when LAW went to the bench with his 3rd foul. I thought at the time, man now's our chance to really stretch this lead because he was carrying them in the first half. Instead, we managed to get outscored by 3 the last 6 minutes of the half. That was big and a real disappointment to me. [/QUOTE]
