The 3-point shot shouldn't have mattered
If Tech takes care of business (hits free throws, doesn't turn over the ball, better clock management/awareness), it doesn't come down to the last shot (a heck of a shot, btw). In the closing minutes, Tech seems to be playing "not to lose" instead of "playing to win." As a high school coach for more than 10 years, I always told my players not to beat themselves. You will always run up against a better player (or players), but you can still play hard and play smart. Lately, Tech has not played very smart - and that includes the coaching staff.
Still, it is a game - not life or death.

The bounce pass turnover w/ 7 seconds left was the problem for me...

I didn't think it was a good pass live, and even more so on replay.

Salt in the wounds was Neo giving up the lob on the inbounds after as well.

Win by just heaving it to the other side of the court. Unbelievably stupid

Everyone knew SMU would do an alley-oop on the inbounds and nobody guarded
