No plan on offense. Just draining the clock and hoping. It’s a shame the four corners offense is illegal.

Had the same exact thought.Baylor went to the full court press and NC had no clue of what to do.The only thing that taking the clock all the way down on offense accomplishes is making your team tentative.Start turning the ball over missing free throws lose all momentum.Looks like NC will pull it out in OT but they are very lucky today.

There were at least 10 instances the NC players had options and chose to pass or dribble to the corner. Almost like they wanted to lose the ball on purpose.

There were another 10 where the solution for Hubert Davis was freeing the center to receive the ball in the middle of the paint when pressed full court. Weird.
