Ok--but if you've coached or think like a coach--you know what plays will be remembered and make the staff question this team? 50/50 balls--getting out toughed for them, the stupid ass 1 hand ally oop attempt where I am not even a UK fan but know that Calipari repeatedly stresses like most coaches "TWO HANDS" and then play where you visually saw Cal go nuts when Lee attempted a shot and Poythress just has to go strong with TWO HANDS and come down/go back up and has hoop--instead he loses possession. That is what loses games like this more then FT's--which I'm not putting aside--but when you have a starting guard who is shooting 39% from line entering a game and goes 1-4 and they have a Center going 1-2 who shoots 29% on year--along with them shooting like Steph Curry and the Warriors from deep all game--it's going to happen. That being said--you win the game if you make winning/tough plays and Ohio State got majority of them. That's on players--you can't go do it for them. Think Liggins/MKG/Randle type of plays. Or Poythress in '14 NCAA's against Louisville/Michigan/Wisconsin--and imo Uconn--where game turned when he was called for charge on a great effort play that would've changed momentum.
Problem is half of those were layups.
Why would he ever put up a shot behind the arc is beyond me.
When the chips were on the table OSU got the loose balls and made the plays. Biggest turning points IMO were the intentional foul and the Tate basket on the offensive rebound. No excuse for either.
