I went back and watched the in-bounds play where Drick B. ended up with the ball and was fouled immediately.
UND was up 68-63 with 1:02 left. Drick in-bounds the ball to Geno but for some reason he threw it back to Drick within a second. So Drick brought it up and got fouled at midcourt. The problem lied a few places.
Geno should not have thrown it back to Drick at all. Bring the ball up the court - you're the point guard! He wasn't being doubled or anything. Or get fouled. I realize he missed a couple himself but he is a 75% FT shooter.
Drick should not have been in bounding the ball. He should be at the other end hidden in the corner. Why? Cause he shoots 51% from FT line. Or he in bounds the ball and gets out of there immediately bringing his guy with him.
Hooker, Geno and McDermott all shoot over 75% from the FT line. Those three should be running the in bounds plays at the end with the other two floating around half court in case.
What happened then was Drick missed, UNC comes down and buries a 3 and we have a two point game. HUGE swing from possibly 7 to 2 instead.
I know it's easy for me to sit and here second guess. But that play right there sums up a few issues that have been happening at the end of games where UND pisses away the lead.
Vs. Weber, UND hit most all their free throws and didn't make these mistakes, however. That was played to perfection at the end.
