One observation about this team is that if you could get the data on +/-
when the game is "chaotic" vs. "not chaotic" this team would likely have a high negative +/- when the games are being played "chaotic."
Most would argue that's all about athleticism, but I think it's more complicated than just that. Mike Young plays a very button down style of basketball, and this team is best when a bunch of "stuff" isn't happening all over the place at a fast pace. Unfortunately, if you have a 5-8 point lead late in games, teams get desperate, and desperation yields chaos and you face more chaos on the road.
Like you said, played well, just need to keep things under control and finish.

Strange game. We played well for 35 minutes. Leading 65-60 @ 5 minutes mark

I agree. Coach Young needs to trust his bench, give Pedulla some breathers.**
