I still can't believe how many people seem to not understand what happened. We had 6 scholarship players. Houston had the ball. It was overwhelmingly likely that we were going to have to immediately foul on the inbounds. Whaley had four fouls. Carlton is not particularly fast. So Temi was in to give a foul. We unexpectedly forced a five-second violation. Since no time passed, we couldn't take him out. We didn't run a play for him. Temi was wide open, so to avoid a five-second call, we passed to him. He got the most wide open look available. While Gilbert was open at the top of the key, I understand not having the presence of mind to pass there. Look, I was as surprised - and initially, outraged - as the rest of you. But we didn't put him in for the purpose of him getting the game-tying shot. And there is no way way I want a walk-on passing it in there. As frustrating as that play was, I'm more upset we blew a 6-point lead in the closing minutes.

We're close to being back. We're going to get there. We need a little better execution, and at this point, a little bit of luck for once.
