Popoola shouldn’t have been the one inbounding the ball. He has struggled with the do I stay or run the baseline issue all season. A couple of those seconds he just stood there instead of moving then it was too late.

this isn’t on the coach. It was a bad play made by the player. That said hall should have been out 3 min earlier than he did which could have wiped away a few points.

great season but this finished on a sour note.

only question I have now is how many players do we retain

Did anyone notice that if there was a fixed outcome they covered the spread by going to overtime where they won by 6 favored by 4.5 that appears hokie by whatever caused the stupid mental ending of the before ot

The coach should have rescued it at the end, he should have had better in bounds plays, and he should have had someone else doing the inbounds play besides Popoola.

You and I are the only ones questioning his coaching mental capacity löl all year we won 30 games in spite of our coach
Yep.
Amazing.
He is not a good coach. Been saying it all year. Just doesn't have it. Nice guy, though.

Maybe we we can get on another NIT run next year. Konkol will NEVER get a team to the Dance.

You have a three point lead with 8 seconds to go and two timeouts. You take one and tell your inbounds player that he can run the baseline and always have him call the other timeout if in trouble. But no timeout called and the player not told. But get someone open. You have all year to get a better inbounds play.......... I think Eric just got nervous and forgot. Tubby was at the game and I suspect grimacing when he saw that. The kids did great and I applaud their effort this season. A remarkable comeback.

I hope tubby has seen some of the other coaching mistakes that Konkol has made during the season, and left a few frank comments with people that matter.

23% from 3 and we should have won it in regulation. That's quite an accomplishment for a 3pt shooting team.
