Good news that Robert is back practicing. With his addition and that of Mouhammad, it sounds like practices are really becoming competitive. This can only help the team grow as the season progresses.

That is crazy. I can't believe the "white" team (racist) scored 4 out of 5 times in the 6 second scenario.

Maybe we should start to run the 6 second offense!

Alright, here's how you improve your chances. White team IN PRACTICE converted it 80% of the time. Add that to Tulsa doing it in the game and it's 83%. 83% chance YOU LOSE. The solution?

Foul 'em.

Does Tulsa's PG shoot better than 83% from the line? Does Tulsa shoot 83% as a team? I'm willing to bet not. Next time, foul him with say five seconds left...even if he hits both, WE have the chance at the last second layup.

Or just give up. If a team can't stop a group of marginal D1 freshman from scoring with 6 seconds and the length of the floor to go, there are serious issues. This is a situation that should favor the defense every time.

Or maybe the white team should be our starters and the red team should be their back-ups. Looks like we could have beaten upstate after all!
