We just can't hit the key shots.

So frustrating to watch. Next year.

Yes, only made worse by today's college basketball mindset.
The talented don't want to work.
The coachable are not very talented.
And nobody plays 4 years to develop team chemistry.

Coaching college ball has to be unimaginably frustrating.

Watching it is bad enough.

Plus I hate to sound like a broken record, but it is AMAZING how the calls tend to go against us.

At about 50-50, there were 4-5 trips down the court that went against us. Herard grabbed a rebound, defender intentionally threw his foot out to trip him, no call. Other end, SC guy breaks for the sideline, grabs Carter's arm and throws his head back (without the ball, mind you), foul 2 shots. Back on our end, Carter misses 3, kegler goes for the board, 2 SC guys swat at the ball and it goes out that way. Refs say out on Kegler. Next trip, Peters almost gets the steal,SC guy grabs and sticks his leg out to trip Peters, SC gets ball back and hits a 3.

I agree though, hopefully next year we make the key plays and don't have to hope to get some calls.

We can't hit the non-key shots too

We can't hit shots, at least not as many as our opponents.

There's a lot of truth in this post.

I was watching the game with my brother in law who hasn't watched many games this year and at around the 4:00 mark when it was tied I told him this is where State has struggled this year. They get to this point tied or within one possession and waste a couple of possessions on offense then give up a couple shots on defense and all the sudden its a 3 possession game in less than a minute.
That is exactly what happened.
Its like they get to the end with a chance and nobody wants to take a shot or drive and try to draw a foul.

Also, who told Herard he had to dribble the ball every freaking time he touches the ball. Has anybody mentioned that he doesn't have to dribble if he's right under the basket? He can just go right up with the ball. I feel like somebody told him it was a requirement to dribble the ball at least once every time he catches it.

I don't know why I continue to watch.
