Good call, bad call?

It's probably a winning strategy 8 out of 10 times and minus a few lucky bounces today, would have won the game for us. Still, I just don't like stopping the clock and allowing the other team to get a plan set. I'd rather take a chance by making them to hit a three. Just dammit.

beat them on the boards today which was incredible. I remember in Starkville throughout the game I was hoping they would make their free throws so they couldn't get a rebound and easy putback.

Because UK hadn't been shooting 3's well. Iespecially disagreed with having Stewart commit the foul. If you're gonna foul, let Phil or Ravern do it.</p>

If Wall draws iron, then we win. Then, he makes that ridiculous 3 in OT. It just wasn't meant to be. I believe that the NCAA didn't consider at all that we took KY to OT twice and lost. <17> them!!!!!!!

that can kill us on the boards and is not a strong three point shooting team.

Would have preferred not to foul, but 6 of one, half dozen of the other, unless you're acting with the benefit of hindsight, in which case Stansbury is a dubmass.

I know of at least one time he wishes he would've fouled up 3 with seconds left.

Chalmers for the tie! YES!!!!!
