Lions proved they deserved to be in the tourney, but this was a very winnable game and I'm really puzzled by some of the coaching decisions.

Can someone explain why Columbia did not even attempt to play a zone? Vandy had only one player (Moore) who could shoot.

Also why would you ever let Washington go one on one in the low post. At least run a double team with anyone not defending Moore.

Finally, the decision to not foul down four with 50 seconds left made no sense. Vandy was mediocre from the line. But Columbia let them run almost 30 secs off the clock and then left Moore alone for the game winning three. Even if Moore misses that shot, Vandy would have had a very good chance of getting the offensive rebound with Columbia scrambling.
