There was over 7 minutes left in the first half when that in bounds three with two seconds left on the shot clock occurred.  Afterwards, we were still up 27-26.  So, IMO, a big shot ND executed to a T at that moment, yeah, but critical when considering how much time in the game was left, not really.

Now, that Hubbs three stung a lot more for sure.  He hit that prayer with just over 3 and a half minutes left in the game pushing ND's lead to 5, at 68-63.  That said, it was still only a two possession game and plenty of time left.

This is where good teams (especially on the road) have a true/solid floor general.  And, why PG is the most crucial position in the game.  Realizing the moment, commanding/directing the O, staying composed so that a high quality shot/result is probable.  We have desperately missed that, and haven't had that type of general since Ennis.  Perhaps, an argument can be made that Silent G was that at times, however, not a true floor general.

We have a heavy latent team of upperclassman and experience.  All of our starters, sans Frank, have been playing a minimum of three years, and three starters are 4 year players. Yet, there's no true leadership, at least not from what I have witnessed.  Moreover, absent of that [I]prerequisite, [/I]high level P5 floor general required as mentioned.
