I watched the replay and the thing that stands out is Woffy shot the ball way better than they know how to shoot it. The Baileys and Sivills hit more shots than they usually make.
Another thing was they got the call on two balls that went out of bounds that the replays showed it was off them. Even the announcers said it should have been Furman's ball.
With that being said we still had an 83-79 lead with 2:34 left. Woffy turns it over again. IMHO we should not have taken a 3, even though PJ had a pretty good look. Should have run the shot clock down to about 10 sec, then cleared out and let PJ drive.
Tripp comes down and penetrates, which we should not have let him do, and passes off to Filiwich for an easy layup. Bowser should have stayed on Fili and not helped. Should have made Tripp make a shot. Bad D.
83-81. PJ does the right thing and drives. But he only took 9 sec off the clock. Difficult shot and there was maybe no foul but I guarantee you Woffy gets that call.
They rebound and only take 8 sec to score. Tripp drives all the way to the baseline and passes back out to Sivills for 3. I don't know who was supposed to be covering Sivills but it didn't get done. Real Bad D.
83-84. We run the shot clock all the way down and PJ shoots an airball. Woffy good D but Sad Din says PJ was nicked on the forearm.
Tripp drives, Anderson bodies up, and Tripp throws up a prayer and gets the call. I watched that sequence 4 times and I have yet to see any contact.
83-86 with 40 sec. Anderson misses a tough 3 but he can make that shot. Bowser gets the rebound, flips it to PJ and he misses a contested shot and we foul immediately.
83-88 with 18 sec, House misses a long 3, and that was it. They only made 2 field goals the last 2 minutes. Their last 8 points came from the FT line. We missed 6 straight shots.
That one hurts. And I feel bad for our seniors. Furman played a great game and Woffy did too. Everything they did the last 2 minutes went right and everything we did went wrong. We won so many close games just like this one all year.
I don't think Woffy was tougher than we were, just luckier.
