Holding the ball too much against the trap. It’s OK to play deliberately, but the ball has to move and not stick against defensive pressure.
Lack of experience on closing out and defeating traps.
What a great interception of the baseline pass!
Ugly finish. Huggins’ defense has been stellar. His total lack of FT shooting is really hurting us.
Huggins missing the front end and then Levine drawing the fifth foul on Stanton is bad. The Tigers will almost certainly need to score a few more points to pull this one out with under a minute to go.
Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory…
Abdulahi misses two, and then Levine gets the and-one on Clark. 45 seconds left with Levine at the line, and the Tigers have to call a TO to get the ball in bounds. Up three with one TO left and long passes might be necessary to break the press.
What a crazy game! Tough bucket by Davis to preserve a 3pt lead.
One more stop please.
DD hero play pushes the lead back to three with 23 seconds left. One-man press break and the tough iso bucket in close against Levine.
Cannot allow treys or and-ones.
Good role reversal by PU putting on the press on the inbound under their own basket. Forces the last Penn TO to be used with 16.6 left.
Exhaling.
Roberts two and DD going to the line with 6.2 left, up one. Misses the first, hits the second.
Levine desperation heave fails, and justice is done.
That would have been a bad loss. Glad to get away with that one.
WHAT A WIN!!!
I know because the site is crashing.
Down 14 > Up 14 > Win by 2
Just the way Mitch drew it up.
Controversial opinion: Starting the 2nd half with 16-16 shooting was a good move.

Unlikely to have won w/o Davis.

So I guess Mitch was playing possum on Dalen’s injury status? He had some rust early, but he looked like his old self in the 2nd half.
