    That missed layup would have put the game in OT but that's not the shot that lost the game.

      Uni is going to be tough next year only losing one player and gaining a few red shirts.

        So close! Missed FTs & open looks.

        Still a better way to end the season than two weeks ago.

          God, that sucked...

          So close to pulling it out. If Johnny didn't have to clutch, that shot was going to go in. So many missed plays we should have made, those couple wide open threes we missed, and AJ's missed layup stand out. Damn...

          If their guy didn't have a career day, and get every call, we win this one going away.

            Same reason he didn't call a timeout against Creighton or St. Joseph's. He trusts the players to make a play without allowing the defense time to get set. AJ made the right read, just missed the lay-up.

              Assuming Drexel beats UMASS at home...they won 30 games...we won 20. Drexel shot out of their minds, but lets not go as far as they only won because they had a good shooting day and UNI missed 2 layups...

                No doubt, let the D scramble. Plus the fact that we didn't have a hole lot of time for a play. Running while having the D scramble it better than letting them get set and running a play in 5 seconds.

                  Close plays happen every year and to every team. Only occasionally do you see one team roll to wins without catching a few breaks at our level. A recent example for us are the 2008-09 team that won the Valley with a number of close wins-at SIU, at BU, the OT game vs ISUr in St. Louis.

                    in my opinion you go for the win on the road unless you have an easy layup. like aj did lol

                      This was a game the Panthers could have won. A shot here or there, a call, less friendly rims for Drexel, etc. is all it would take to advance. A tough season and a tough way to bow out of a tournament. It's on to next year.

                          They wouldn't have called it, I think he made as best decision he could in that situation.

                            Maybe...but are they going to call it? I think you gotta try to make the shot. Good close out by Drexel on that shot. If not for that, I think Johnny buries that thing.
                            Winning is more fun than losing.

                              i really dont think they would have ended that game on johnny shooting 3 free throws at drexel.

                                Ironic that Moran forces an unorthodox 3 when we just needed a 2 to end the season. He forced many a shot this year & had very poor results on balance. Many frustrations including:
                                1. Moran forced shot instead of Mitchell finding Tuttle wide open 3 ft from the hoop
                                2. not getting their big fouled out of the game by isolating koch so he could drive on him
                                3. koch being nonexistent like he has been much of the year
                                4. AJ shooting a right hand layup w/ his lefthand while trying to draw a foul against a ghost.
                                5. not calling to's during Drexel's unconscious 1st half shooting
                                6. not getting the ball inside a lot more...story of all season
