UND MBB doesn't tend to win close games on a neutral floor ... which is disappointing considering that is necessary in order to win the conference and reach the NCAA tourney. 

Obviously too early to jump off the ledge, but there still will be a critical decision coming next spring via Faison.

FREETHROW shooting!!!!!!    Crandall's poor play.  The other team got a lot of friendly rolls in the last 5 minutes.  Oh well.  The very last possession was a mess.  Needed a better shot than that.  Quinton's free throw miss was extremely huge in the last 20 seconds.  You know we are in trouble when our good shooters are missing free throws at the end.

Crandall played lazy

didnt go after 50 50 balls

needs to quit thinking  of highlight plays and play team ball

rebounds were bad too for us

UND MBB doesn't tend to win games on the road at OOC teams either. Another thing Faison will look at among a lot of things dating back to late in the DII years with Jones.

It was said after the game on the broadcast...that they shot free throws all summer, and even yesterday they each shot 50 during practice. The individuals who continually miss, it basically is killer instinct and handling pressure.  Not sure how you emulate that, but they've all been in these moments enough to figure it out, and it doesn't seem like they can. Not sure what the answer is? Not practicing free throws, maybe that will work.   

On a positive note...and I have to at least end with something positive.  Cortez Seales, played a pretty solid game.  That was pleasant to see, as he has been basically absent the first 3 games.  That surprised me that he basically came out this season and laid 3 duds, he had to know that the team was going to need him more this year... but if we get today's Cortez as the season moves forward... that will help.

I cannot believe Crandall drove WAY too deep again in his game winning attempt.  IIRC, Hooker did it three times last year and air balled or missed them all.  

Just once can they pull up and shoot from 5-10 feet?  Maddening.

He tried a pull up against Weber in the Big Sky semis..that didn't go any better.   Looking at the numbers we don't have anybody that can hit a 3 other than Hooker...and I'm assuming he was covered in that situation, but I was listening and wasn't watching.  Crandall, had already scored around 2 defenders in close to the basket in the 2nd half so it's not like he isn't capable of pulling it off.
