You are absolutely correct that two ND defenders shutdown Bell's drive to the basket although Amir would have better starting at the top of the key vs. to the side. I have no issue at all with Cannady taking the 3 pt shot as he was sufficiently open. You take a 2pt or 3pt shot as long as the player has an open look.
Heartbreaking but tremendous effort by warriors including Weisz, Bell and others. Two strategic errors were allowing ND 32 to swoop down from the outside baseline in the 1st half with wide open dunks and not going with Princeton Cs' against Colson earlier but Brey made his fair share of coaching errors. Difference in the game was Tigers missing so many open 3pt shots in the 1st half --- ND played much better defense in 2nd half.
Congratulations to Mitch, seniors and all team members for showing the skill level of the IL as well as the physical and mental toughness. Even my IL "hater" friends were impressed.
