Probably just torturing myself, but UM just wrestled this away from us. So frustrating!
In 38 seconds, from 8:33 to 7:55 an 8 point leads is whittled to 3.
At 6:38, a UM offensive rebound lets them close it to 1.
For the next couple minutes, we we trade buckets, until at 3:54 a Mintz turnover leads to UM getting 2 buckets in a row and going up 1.
At 3:18, Justin Taylor hits a well guarded 3 that puts us back up 2.
But, honestly, for the last 5 minutes we had not stopped much, and this continues. Miller from UM gets an offensive board at 2:59 (off his own miss, and over Jesse who did not box him out and then fouls Miller). This led to a Miller game tying bucket and the go-ahead FT. This was the ball game. Jesse should have had that ball. Miller is like 6"s shorter.
From 2:39 to 1:58, there is just a mad battle for control of the game. UM weathers it and ultimately goes up 3.
Even though we got to within 2 again, the game was kinda over.
I wish we did not put ourselves in a situation where a turnover here and there (or 5) mattered as much as they did. But, if you cannot rebound, or handle a muscular big, man, you just give up so much control in a game.

Looking at fouls, and the FT differential surprised me bc I thought we were getting the calls, in the 2nd half,

- UM had 16 - only 3 in the 1st half, leading to 2 FTs, but 13 in the 2nd, leading to 6 scores (a few 3s too)
Looking at fouls, and the FT differential surprised me bc I thought we were getting the calls, in the 2nd half,
- UM had 7 (4 in the 1st 7 mins & none in the last 4 &) &
- SU had 12 spread evenly throughout the half
