Last night on the final inbound by the Sooners, why did we not foul the guy immediately? The announcers were saying it, I was screaming it, yet our players appeared to be trying to "defend" instead of "foul"?
As I recall we were down by 1 with about 10 seconds or so to go. Strategically, seems like we would have sent the guy to the line. Worse case would have been that we were down by 3 with the ball and about 8 seconds left. Plenty of time to set up a decent trey opportunity. Instead, we let the clock run before the foul at mid-court giving us no time for a realistic shot at winning the game.
What in the hell was that about? Surely our Coaches told the guys to foul, yes?
