Message: [QUOTE="Tenspro2002, post: 4575680, member: 889"] There's really nothing more to say than that. "Hurley let one guy beat us!" OK, what about the other 4 guys who went a combined 7-10 from 3, including guys who shot 24%, 36%, 34%, and 37% on the year. Even Allen himself was a 34% shooter, went 4-7. The game plan for defending the foul line was awful too (/s), we let him go 13/13 (an 18% occurrence even for an 88% shooter). By shot quality, we were about 13 points better, a 20 point swing from reality. It was just a Twilight-Zone type game. Freak occurrence. Still should have won, but it was way out on the tail of the distribution in terms of NMSU's performance. Edit: I'm going to expand on this. Their made field goals were: [LIST] [*]stepback elbow jumper [*]handoff 3 off a screen [*]spot-up 3 off a pass [*]contested fadeaway after drive was cut off [*]post-up fadeaway from 16 feet [*]contested pull-up 3 off the dribble [*]corner 3 off an off-ball screen [*]driving runner off glass [*]extra pass off of pick and pop for open dunk [*]spot-up corner 3 [*]stepback fadeaway from 18 feet [*]spot-up corner 3 [*]pick and pop 3 [*]contested layup [*]layup off a pick and seal [*]semi-contested 3 off off-ball screen [*]drive and dish dunk [*]seal and layup [*]pull-up contested 3 at end of shot clock [*]3 off elevator screen [*]pull-up contested 3 [*]contested layup [/LIST] About half of those the defense was right there and they just made difficult (bad) shots.
