Memphis tried to give the game to us for 36 min...

...and we still lost.

Just can’t make the dagger shots. Absolutely efuse to make smart winning plays when it matters.

Memphis made like 11 straight FTs down the stretch. Even their worst shooters were clutch.

Everyone onthe floor for us did at least one losing play and we checked just about every possible box for possible bad plays, so I’m not gonna name names.

It is what it is during a rebuild, but it’s still bleeping frustrating and bleeping sucks.

Besides bad shots UConn bailed out Memphis fouling on basically every defensive play at the end of the game.

If we converted on all the bunnies/dunks we missed, we’d be up 10 and it wouldn’t have come down to this- another close loss

Yeah, bottom line is if they shot decent, not great, they would have won. I think Hurley is doing a great job getting these guys locked in for 40 minutes (or more), and playing with energy and toughness, BUT they need to make shots and they're not. They didn't get to the free throw line enough for it to be a factor like it was against Temple, and they shot badly from the field including at the rim and from the perimeter. Just can't win games that way, especially with turning the ball over as much as they did.

Forget bad shots, it's missing wide open shots, lay ups and dunks that are killing us.
