Guess how many 3s New Mexico State make today?

This happens to us. Guy had 37 and goes 2-6 from 3 scores 12 points. Didn’t see the game. Didn’t see the game but he went 5-16 in the game. Was he denied the ball?
 
A 32% 3-point shooting team goes 11-17 one night (including 7-10 for the supporting cast) and then 6-26 the next.

And you could argue the looks they had tonight were better than the ones they had against us.

Twilight Zone stuff, truly. An absolute fluke performance.

and they still somehow made it a close game, which is impressive.

I don’t know why all the D1 basketball coaches (ie; experts from their couch) who post here can’t grasp this. We ran into a buzzsaw.. should we have still won; probably.. but it’s not as simple as many make it seems

So not only do we let their main scorer have a monster nite with 37, we also let’s their scrubs shoot 7/11. Yes. Let’s be proud of that. Stop either one and we win. We failed on both ends.

Honestly, it makes it look that much more impressive for us that we were within a possession late while withstanding 65% shooting, while Arkansas barely squeaked by with them shooting under 25%.

We also let them shoot 11-11 from the charity stripe. Clearly bad free throw defense. Credit Arkansas tonight for holding NM St to 6-10 from the line.

After we made halftime adjustments, we scored 41 points on 27 possessions = 1.52 points per possession.

Arkansas after halftime (before the :30 left FTs) scored 22 points on 33 possessions = 0.66 points per possession.

(They scored 6 points on their first 20 possessions of the 2nd half).

NMSU drew 5 charges in just the 2nd half tonight.

Seriously yes. Saying it’s bad timing or their players shot better on Thursday and UConn had bad luck in catching them on a day they were hot is so tired and lazy

Just like the, “everything is fine. Look how far we’ve come.”

the issues with Hurley were noticeable last year and early on this year.

We put the wrong person at the FT line ... teddy.

Actually a fair point. Apparently two of NM States misses tonight were by Nate Pryor, a guard who shot 22% from the FT line this season. Which . . . ???

Anyway, Arkansas does deserve credit for fouling him the minute he stepped on the court.

He didn't play a minute vs. us. I'm not sure if Jans benched Rice for a bit or what. He only had 1 foul in 1st half, but Pryor was playing instead of him.
 
We are just polishing a turd here folks, time to move on and get over it, hope next season is better.
 
There’s a reason this team was 75+ Kenpom. They’re not that good. They got beat by a team called Sam Houston St by 40 points…. Whoever that is. They just played a 1 in 1000 game which will never happen again. George Mason also shot 50%+ from 3 against us to spring the upset. Sometime these things happen, but as others have insinuated it keeps happening to us under Hurley. It always seems that a team or player has a career night against us. That’s a piss poor trend that needs to be corrected.

I’d say it differently. If Teddy Allen doesn’t score 37 against us we don’t lose.

If we defended Teddy Allen properly from scoring 37 points against us we don't lose.

BS. I’ve never seen anyone say “everything is fine.” Like legitimately no one.

Well, you realize the 11-11 was all Teddy Allen, right?

Did every report expect his teammates to shoot 7-11 from 3? This is a massive part to this puzzle that many are refusing to acknowledge. Had they short they’re percentage we still win even if Allen dropped 50.

This stat actually hurts your argument though, that's the point being made about Arkansas plan. The denominator is the key, we didn't let them shoot enough. Eventually they would revert to the mean, which is what happened tonight. The flaw in the plan or the unexplainable anomaly wasn't that the scrubs shot 7/10, it was not letting them take 10 more shots instead of Allen (cutting out 6 of his automatic free throws too), and let guys who've never shot that well in their lives try to maintain that pace.

And if they hit 15/20 you tip your cap and go home. Instead, they made 4 of their next 20 and we're missing out on a golden chance to knock out Gonzaga next weekend.

I mean that’s a chance you’re taking. They regressed to the mean a entire 2 days later, and never shot as well tonight at any point in the game as they shot against us. You don’t know one way or another how it’d turn out. They may have they may not have. But to your point maybe it was worth a try, letting them shoot more. I guess we’ll just never know.

Harsh reality, inconceivable nightmare, or eternal mystery, UConn losing in the first Round is a bitter pill to swallow.

"Acceptance" doesn't mean that I approve of or like what happened, just that I accept as fact that it did happen.

I dislike the outcone, and I wanted both teams to lose in most of the Saturday games I saw...many of which made for great watching.
