Harper wasn’t feeling well and nerves got the best of him. Still, shouldn’t have fouled after the double dribble. Bruce ate Brown’s lunch after not fouling quick enough against NMST and that probably came back to bite him in the butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one possession we had where Brown just hit backboard was a very bad possession as well but man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewhiz7 273 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Yes, Samir just needed to jump straight up. Would have been more effective than a quarter jump with his hands down into the shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me Samir played to his instincts there, he tried to contest a game winning shot. What player wouldn't contest that shot in that situation?

I'm not dogging Samir, just not great defense in the last 7 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was like a hitch watching it back. Never seen that before from him. It looked like it slipped. That guy play would of not happened. We would of won if he made it to go up 3.

Goodness we were a free throw or missed double dribble away from playing for it all. And I think we would have a very good chance against TT.

So actually now that I think about it is it a bad coaching because samir mostly played Jerome and they let those guys play. Maybe samir still in that mode? Guarding a play maker alot different than guarding a spot up shooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCTiger2011 1,282 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Not allowing myself to “what-if” this game anymore. This team took home two trophies, cut two nets, and announced their arrival into the basketball conversation this season. It hurts because seasons like this won’t be the norm, and I won’t hold every upcoming AU team to this standard, but the mountaintop of college hoops has been sniffed. By Auburn University. Wow.

AUBwins 10,075 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I knew the Final 4 was house money so to speak. So for that, I am just happy we made it to the 4. I think I could handle it better if we didn't make that comeback. We straight up took the game from them only to have it ripped back. Overall I am glad we made the comeback because it reminds me of how special this team was, just more in shock that we can let a 4 point lead disappear with under 10 seconds remaining. I was thinking Virginia is wasting too much time and the Hoos made it happen anyways. Sigh. Maybe I will get some sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The refs should have to be held accountable for missing such a call. Hope NCAA makes an official statement regarding this. With less than 10 seconds to go in the game and this decided who goes to play for a National Championship! I would think that cost AU millions. What an idiot! Practice what you preach! Oh we missed it is unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also think he's VERY liable to dumb plays. Although I dont think that knowledge is new to you, I, or the rest of this board, and it showed up at the worst possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your best perimeter defender, guard wise, for 2-3 seasons, and you stick this guy that has had one noteworthy game defensively on their best shooter WHO JUST MADE ONE? I dont even remember there being a down pick and switch or anything, they just put Samir on Guy. Bruce got done really badly for 93% of this game, he won the last few minutes of the first half and the last whenever Jerome got the 4th foul until the foul on Jerome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If u look at his face before the first attempt he was clearly perturbed and thinking about it. If you watch Guy on the last 3 attempts, he just put em up before he got a chance to consider. ofc he drained the third one but the difference is the chance to think.

There is no justice in sports. SMH........ No one wants to watch that s#$t. First one to 37 wins! HOW EXCITING! I am sure tv execs are through the roof with how this played out........

One of the first things you're taught is don't foul a jump shooter. Nobody jumps to block a 3. If you want to contest you stick close and get a hand in their face. Put your hands up to change projection, you play under control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently outside fans are saying The same thing happened to Brown on the last shot of the game and no one paid attention. We thought we lost the play before. Great commentary Cole. It's been a great season. Let's support the guys . We got next year!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
