Not trying to argue but it wasn't really a 5 point swing on that possession. After they made the free throws to make it 46-42 they missed a 3 and we got the ball back. We could have increased the lead again but Goode missed a good look from 3 and then Funk hit a 3 on their next possession to cut our lead to one.I am not convinced he did it on purpose, but in any case it was incredibly stupid and likely cost us the game. The and one put us up 6, then they hit the two free throws for the technical and a three for a five point swing. We had incredible momentum and it vanished with that one play. They looked like a team on the verge of being overwhelmed by the moment. Dain has incredible potential, I was very disappointed with the lack of discipline and his behavior. Maybe this will motivate him for the NCAA.
The free throws from the flagrant didn't help our cause but those 2 points were all they got from that possession.
