Can't add much to what's been said -- but this: how do you get to the last 10 seconds of a 2 point game and have NO timeouts left? (Also, how does AK get the ball in the backcourt and act as if there's 25 seconds on the clock - zero urgency)
His troubles after missing the FTs at Nova last year -- and overcoming them -- have toughened and matured Alex. Today, he was a warrior, putting the team on his back. He refused to leave Gampel on a losing note. It was an inspiring performance, not to be soon forgotten.

And one-and-done if they do get in.
The fouling issues, the lack of a strong inside presence, the prevalence of long scoring droughts and.... of course....chronic inability to get the ball in safely. That all adds up to a likely 10-beats-7 result in March.
And it's not like the inbounds futility is a new issue. It's been a weakness for years and we're left with McNeeley throwing the ball over the opposite end line. Embarrassing the "the best coach in AMerica" and his staff. And, frankly, for the players.
Put me down as Kaitlin starting, with Ash as first off the bench. As far as front court goes, I wouldn't be surprised to see Morgan getting as many or more minutes than either Ice or Jana. The latter two are fine to bang with players like Cardoso, but their scoring issues make Morgan the...
Those who credit the Irish for out-quicking us -- I can't disagree. But the real issue is our inside game -- our inability to grab D boards, resulting in many second/third chance baskets. Also, although ND got credit for only 3 blocks in the box, it seemed like a lot more of our inside...
