that game was ridiculous - a banked 3, a bank shot that goes off top of backboard, a mythical tech on Drummond, a crazy 3 point play before a half, and a crazy 3 pointer with 1 second on shot clock. Im sorry but that was insane - just numb right now

You could live with a game like this if it wasn't the story of the season.

You make your own luck. Yes, the T call was abysmal and the banked 3 was a joke, but winning teams fight through stupid like that and get the job done. This team wilts whenever they feel a game slipping away.

UConn was incredibly lucky in 2011.

Once or twice is unlucky. If you use that as an excuse for 12 losses you are in denial. Can't wait to run the table in the BET, or more realistically, next year.

The tech was bad but for us fans its a convenient distraction from the obvious 'horror film' theme we watched tonight. So I am not bothered by the call as I usually would be, it was only one scene in the movie.

The bank shots on 3's have been bad luck all season - however that 1 second three was not bad luck but very poor defense. You play defense according to the circumstance. In this case you don't have to defend the drive on the perimeter. You need to be right on the man.

luck played a very minor role in our collapse tonight. Up 14, we gave up a 3, turned it over for another 3, turned it over immediately thereafter for a jumper, and up at 5-6 at that point, you knew we would lose b/c momentum had changed and this team has no fight.
