Game long shooting woes kill them.

Oh man.

Missing a squared-up 3 to end it only appropriate.

Great look for Cannady. Just a little long and to the right. I would have preferred maybe a drive to the hoop there, but that was good offense.

Got to be frustrated that their three-point shooting was so far below norm tonight.

Well, you guys represented the League well, and were the proper representative. Disappointing.

Nauseating to hear Brey bragging about ND's defense. The Tigers were shredding them.

To be fair, ND's FT shooting was also subpar, but the magnitude of the Tiger three-point issues was greater.

As easy as it is to blame the shooting, ND played well. It was a well played and well coached game.

Why did we go for the 3 when we're down by 2??? Deep down, I knew this was gonna happen all along -- a nailbiter loss.

It was a great matchup, no excuses. The guys played tough and never gave up. I figured the 3s would be cold, but this was just one 3 too frosty.

The difference in the game was our bad start. They didn't go inside enough to begin the game and ND jumped out to a 9-3 lead. Good adjustments from there on, but it wasn't enough.

No moral victory. Just disappointment. "One more 3," I guess.

Hate to lose with so many missed opportunities -- but glad we kept it winnable to the end. Devin had a last chance to perform magic.

On the replay, I can see that Cannady had a good look, but there's no reason to go for 3 there on a cold night.

I wanted Bell to just take it coast to coast -- refs won't call a charge (or block) in that situation -- and have everyone else crash the boards for a potential putback.

Sounds good to me.

He was WIDE open---he has to take that shot.

No question the Tigers were shaky at the beginning, starting with Cook's missed layup off the Miller jump-ball play that clearly had been prearranged. It seemed like they took a while to get used to the big-game atmosphere and to adjust to the level of physicality from the Irish. But seriously, 8-31 from three, almost all wide open, is not what you would predict, and that pretty much decided the game.

He was definitely not wide open, not even close. But it was a good look for a sniper like Devin -- elbow 3 he can step into. Not some fall-away 30-footer.

That play pretty much encapsulates the early jitters. And in a 2pt loss (really 1pt), a single miscue like that can come back to haunt you.

I'm having an argument with non-Princeton fan whether that was a good shot to take down one with six seconds to go. I think it was a good shot. They doubled off the high screen to prevent Bell from going to the hoop, and Cannady shoots over 40% from 3 point range. Man, I thought it was going in too.

They were out of timeouts, there was a question about that.

Strange game - they were trailing the whole time - would have felt weird if they pull another one of those out. Princeton defense much better that I thought - I thought they would have to shoot much better just to be in the game.
