with a 3 point lead we miss the 1-and-1 front end with 10 seconds. After Troy gets the rebound we steal the ball and instead of holding it to run out the clock or get fouled we try to throw up the court for a fast break and throw it away giving them the ball back with 2.5 seconds left and they hit the 3 to send it to OT.

on the inbounds pass we let them get the ball to halfcourt, and the three was only one foot behind the arc.

in regulation if we just hold on to the ball instead of throwing it upcourt. If we lose this game it is strictly on that play</p>

Stupidity of that level sometimes causes me to break **** that I later regret breaking. How do players at this level not understand things that most of Us learned playing chuch hoops in Our teens?

Now You or Moody explain how it was not idiotic to throw the ball away with a 3 point lead in the closing seconds in a situation that forces the opposing team to foul.
