We had one possession where having Washington in the game hurt us.  That was on his missed 3.  If Washington makes it, the giddiness here would have been overwhelming.

JB then immediately sent JG3 back out there to prevent them from doubling Elijah.

I can’t think of a preferred set to run on a final possession than Hughes ISO.  That last possession he was flanked by two great shooters and was operating essentially 1 on 1.  I’ll die on that hill EVERY FREAKING GAME with this team.  Hughes can shoot, drive or dish.  He’s shown the ability all year long.

If you want to say that one possession where HOWash missed the three could have decided the game.  I’d understand that, but there’s still 3 min left and we were still up 6.

And as others have stated, his decision to insert Hughes at the top of the zone on the last possession was an excellent adjustment for a game situation.   It was something we hadn’t seen all year.  it’s not like we have a corpse on the sideline.

You can argue with JB’s philosophy, you can argue with his program management, but dude is straight up solid from tip to final buzzer when it comes to game strategy.
