Final: Belmont 78 Bradley 76

[Bball31]

The defense against Belmont's backdoor/weakside layups was weak at best. The inability to shutdown the passing lanes to the weakside cutter for a layup was glaring. I'd like to know how many of 16 two point field goals Belmont had for the game, came from backdoor/weakside layups. My guess would be six at a minimum.

I don’t agree with the sentiment that the missed travel is not to blame for the loss. It was. Period! We played a tough team from tip to final horn. Yes, you can over analyze any number of coaching decisions, player deficiencies, etc. but the fact of the matter is we were tied and played tight defense all the way to the horn only to lose on a shot that should have been called off. Not saying we would have won in overtime, but I’m also not saying anything prior to that caused us to lose, as at that point, we were not losing. Horrible missed call, in a great game environment, that has major conference implications. The Valley should issue an apology. Sorry if you disagree but that’s how I see it. I’m still not over it. On to the dead birds!

I agree with you

I’m not over it either. The guy hopped around for a total of about 4-5 little steps. Egregious missed travel call by the refs.
