Army

Young team returns in 2018-2019 with tons of promise. Can they get back to the NCAA Tournament?

Couldn’t secure #9. Shot the ball horribly. Decent shooting night, they win, but 41% and 16% from 3, won’t get it done.

Completely agree. Decent defensive night……. With the exception of the last 10 ****ing seconds when Army scored the winning basket on a simple inbounds play for an easy layup….

Could only watch the 1st half.. We had our chances but rarely capitalized. Some was Army D. The rest we did to ourselves. Glad I missed the end. I'd still be fuming. If only we had a real go to shooter.

I was disappointed with the way we chose to approach the last minute. We got possession of the ball with 46 seconds left in a tied game. We walked it up the court and ran down the 30-second clock and missed a decent shot with about 18-19 seconds left; that allowed Army to run the back-door inbounds play at the end.

That is the definition of a 2 for 1 situation (the possession at the 46-second mark). Run the ball up with 46 seconds left (you have a couple of plays you practice for this) and get up a quick shot with 38-39 seconds remaining. If you miss, you still get the ball back with around 10 seconds left. I'm surprised the Lehigh coaches didn't see that. Wasted a nice comeback effort in the second half.

Sinclair got injured on a fall, too. Looked like he either bruised his shoulder or injured his AC joint. I'm pretty sure he will miss at least a game or two.

Philly Chuck....you are 100% right ! I thought the same thing on the way home.... Why did we give them the last shot? Get it up quick and then they're on the clock....
