We found a way to survive ourselves in that last minute. The Tigers did everything but shoot the ball in the basket for Ole Miss, that was too stressful. Our inbounds decisions at the end were awful throwing the ball into a double team in the corner is not what you do when inbounding the ball.


That was the worst possible position to be inbounding the ball especially when the opposition is in desperation press mode.

They did miss Gray on a down court streak on the first inbound. Guess Martin was afraid to chance it.

I am not sure that three man stack at the free throw line was best for that inbound. Maybe spread the court and see if they leave someone uncovered.

I I agree with all of this. It was a great win but I will get ulcers if we throw it in that sloppy again. I think that Martin should not be the person to throw the ball in. This isn't the first time he has been indecisive and waited too long and then threw it to the wrong person in the wrong place.

Of course why were Hornsby and the rest running to that corner in the first place.
