First half bench points: 18

Second half bench points: 2 ...and they came in the final seconds to ice the game.

On a side note, how about Va Tech holding NCST to 24 points, holy smokes. Leading scorer for NCST had 7 pts lol

Honestly. They made some real tough shots to keep it close. They do have some good players albeit only 7 of them

Teams have been making tough shots on us all year. At some point we have to take full ownership. Like Gary or Jacob would. We have to do more than we are doing to disrupt shots or offense

The only games that haven’t been wake up calls in conference were Tulane and Tulsa home. So yes it was

Agreed. Although I don't know if I would call a wide open 3 a tough shot in 2019. Pretty much any team has 3 or 4 people on the floor who can make a wide open 3 at a good percentage. Multiple times I watched our D close down to double a man just for the ball to get kicked out for a wide open 3.
How is this still happening?

I think our defense is designed to take away high percentage shots (at the rim). Every defensive scheme has a flaw and ours is the 3 in the corner or on the wing. The only way you can prevent those threes is play man 2 man and have 5 elite defensive players that can square up and not get beat off the dribble. That is highly unlikely and we don’t have that personnel.

I think Cronin has always played the percentages when it comes to D. Traditionally an open 3 is lower percentage shot that a layup. I do think that the trend in basketball to 3 point shooters is making Cronin second guess the D scheme...just from listening to him talk.
