MBB vs NCU

It's call playing not to lose instead of playing to win. Kinda like the "prevent defense" in football which is good at preventing WINS.

Was thinking the same thing, that good old prevent defense. WHY do teams play the that style?

Same here. I also find myself wondering, what if Patrick hadn't broken his foot. My answer is that we would be battling for a regular season championship. With him, this team would have been formidable.

Good point, I keep forgetting about him…. Definitely makes ya wonder what could have been. Would not be surprised if they were in first place with him playing…. Seems like they are just one small piece away from winning every week.

The end of game thing — we take a 10-point lead into about the 6-minute mark. Then the opposing team gets desperate, turns up the defense, pressures the inbounds, and extends their press and traps. And that’s when the turnovers start, the scoring stops, and the wheels come off.
