Hopefully we're not wearing down, but it does feel like we might be getting tired out there.

Again - some of this is about the amount of energy expended to advance the ball into our half court sets. This disrupts our strategy/flow offensively and has a cumulative effect on wearing our guys down throughout the course of the game.

Do you agree that our FT shooting percentage as a team has suffered since we’ve been dealing with these injuries? Why is that? Did they just forget how to shoot em? Or are we tired?

There’s a larger scope strategy at play. All I’m saying is that this is clearly affecting our team’s top end potential. We’re still good and competitive in all these games.

Agree to disagree.

That last SMU bucket was an offensive foul

We're in trouble now.  Need to get to the line.

It’s truly  remarkable at how bad this team is under 6 minutes after leading the entire game.

Crap, what a turn.

[RBTX]

Another late collapse down the stretch. We're at least shooting 80% from the FT line but only taken 5...

[TheColonyEagle]

These last several games have been Death by 1000 paper cuts. 
 

Have to think opposing coaches just tell their players to “be patient. Be patient. They will eventually wear down”

brutal to watch.

The energy level difference is stark.

OR - I disagree with your take but refuse to go back & forth for 2 days - on a message board.

Why is there such a difference in energy?

How was that a foul on Scott

Why oh why take so long to set up your game tying bucket.

[Andrew]

Need to be playing more guys. 2-3 minutes extra rest would make all the difference. We are too tired to close out games because Hodge sits guys on the bench. 13 scholarship players and we pretty run out 7.

I may have tried driving to the basket and played the foul game.  SMU had just missed three in a row...maybe they miss another and you get the ball back with five seconds or so.

Coaching has to get better in the final 5 minutes of these close games. 

[GMG_Dallas]

I just don't get it. They missed 3 free throws in a row and you gave 15 seconds left. Try to get a quick 2 and then foul again.

[Hunter Green]

Well $#!t
