[QUOTE="Limey Frog, post: 2692826, member: 16969"] Bottom line: less talent teams clinging to single-digit leads in the game's final two minutes need to resist the urge to slow down the game, eat clock and truncate their offense. Up four with under two to play in regulation TCU had the game won if we just kept scoring. Holding the ball for 25 seconds at the top of the key and trying to blow through a perfectly set KU defense for a score in a five-second flurry of activity was never going to work. It didn't work. It wouldn't have worked a hundred times in a row. KU gets the ball, scores in under ten seconds, rinse and repeat and boom! There goes your ball game. We didn't have a prayer in overtime after the emotional crash of flushing victory down the toilet. Why do even great coaches like JD give in to the urge to slow down the game this way? Very, very frustrating. Sickening; two hours of hard-fought effort thrown away. [/QUOTE]
