The key was around 4 minutes left when, right after hitting a three, Ark stole the inbounds pass for an easy bucket. Five point play
We had a glitch on an inbounds pass in OT also. A weakness that needs addressing.
This loss was awful, but it need not send the season into a tailspin. Next few games are tough though. Need to win 3 of the next 5 or it could be a long season.
I agree, except I think the turning point actually started on our possession immediately before that.
We were up 8. Williams gets the ball on the break and in the paint, against a guard. He kicks it out to Bowden (I think) who misses a 3. Arkansas goes down and hits a 3, then the steal and another 2. Actually an 8 point swing (7 if Williams had gone to the rack and scored instead of kicking it out). Instead of being up 11 (ten if GW goes to the rim), we are almost instantly only leading by three and they had all of the momentum.
The 3 we missed was a good shot - but I'm old school and would have preferred Williams to score it at the rim. If we had hit that trey, it would have most likely insured the W I think.
