I'm not trying to absolve the team or Ollie of that weak performance, especially the woeful shooting percentage and poorly run offense. But I will say that Memphis got really lucky. As poorly as UConn played, they still would have won if Memphis hadn't hit an abnormally large number of shots they "shouldn't" have made. Shots off the backboard, long, contested jumpers made by average shooters, and worst of all, a contested, midrange jumper from Shaq Goodwin that bounced off the rim 4 times before going on.
UConn probably should have won by 4 or 5 points with a modicum of good luck. They didn't get it. Now, you shouldn't have to rely on luck to beat this crap Memphis team at home, but still.
Yeah, Memphis got real lucky. With only TWO triips to the foul line they didn't exhaust themselves as we did with TWENTY TWO trips. Sheesh!
