Choke team this year. They always win these tough games with leads down the stretch. They aren't doing it this year
 
Not sure why Ellis is getting playing time in critical situations. I would have honestly preferred:

DeBerry
Clark
Evans
Cobb/Shaq (not to shoot but rebounding for a put back).
Caupain

And gone for an interior shot.
 
Those two turnovers did us in. Wasted possessions.

Ellis - idiotic travel penalty. You have the lead, no need to be pretty. Bad play.
Clark - missed free throw down the stretch
Caupain - missed free throw down the stretch

Ellis' minutes need to come down until he becomes more consistent. He's a reliable rebounder but his offensive game is too streaky and he's a turnover liability.

Up 3 with the ball and over a minute to play. Ellis involved in two turnovers. Poor execution with 11 seconds to get the shot they did. They had another TO they could have called too. Just a gut punch at home...again....

Team is basically capped as a 6 seed now.
 
KJ was on the ball in front of his man. Freshman was LATE. No big deal he had a great game.

No the hell kj wasn't on ball. He got caught reaching not paying attention. If Evans was out in corner they had a man wide open under basket. If nothing else kj was supposed to force difficult pass to corner
 
Also up 3 and can't get a rebound. Just terrible execution after battling back to take a 4 point lead. They tantalize you with how good they can be and then just give away games...
