Guys are afraid to take a shot in the last four minutes. Jones is out above the free throw line, wide open, we're up 8, shot clock is running down. SHOOT! Instead we get a turnover. That started the run by Purdue. It's like the prevent defense that prevents you from winning.

He cost us several games with this bs strategy when we went to the NCAA tourney. We had so much talent that year we were able to overcome it but still he never has learned this does not work.

It can work if you have a player like Michael Jordan that can create his own shot with the clock running down. We don't.

What’s weird to me is that we got our lead when we pushed the ball up earlier. Buie, in particular seems to get in rhythm, either shooting or getting other players open looks, when he’s in faster transition. So, why can’t we recognize that?
