Did anyone see the end of this game? First of all I'm not sure why UConn went into a press after hitting two FTs to tie the game with about 8 seconds to go. I can understand a little pressure but they were face guarding which meant, of course, once UMass was able to get the ball in they were off to the races. It looked like at least one of the UConn guys was confused as to where he should be so perhaps Calhoun had called something else and the players didn't execute.

My favroie part though was after the UMass guy scored on the break with about 4 seconds left to go up by 2. Instead of hustling back on defense to stop UConn's last second attempt he ran right over to the bench and jumped on a chair to start celebrating. I know you get excited in a situation like that but you've got to keep your wits and finish the game.

Not a big deal but I thought it was amusing.

I was at that game at the Mullins Center. I think the UMass player was so caught up in the moment, he just didn't realize there were 4 seconds left in the game. UMass won anyways.
