you almost always can control whether to milk the shot clock or not. And we basically mathematically blew it with 2 possessions around the 2 minute mark with stupid quick shots. We extended the game probably 30 to 45 seconds longer then it should have been. Just plain dumb. And then of course Murphys Law happens after we opened the door.

this point is why the Mike Young criticism is warranted. Inexcusably dumb -- vtfin91 Jan 08, 2026 at 09:58 AM ET
