After watching what happened going from a 51-38 lead trailing PSU 65-64, the biggest issue was not staying with the defensive rules. Had we done that we would have never trailed. Maybe it gets down to 2-3 points, but would have never trailed. Here is a summary of what I saw.
- Leading 51-38, Ivey goes for a steal leaving Johnson wide open for a corner three (51-41).
- Leading 59-51, Thompson loses Dread and is late closing on a wide open three (59-54).
- Leading 59-54, Williams helps too long and reaches for a steal on a screen making Sasha cover down and leaving Lundy wide open for a corner three (59-57).
- Leading 62-57, Gillis is caught giving too much help and he cannot close out giving Lee a wide open three (62-60)
- Leading 64-62, Gillis turns his back and runs to covering down on the post on the ball side leaving Lee wide open for a three (65-64)
