Robinson scored 6+ points so it was a given Poole was going to make that shot

The moment I saw Robinson shoot 2 3s to start the game, I felt relieved. Putting way too much stock in this 6+ point phenomenon

The good news is we’ve survived playing pretty bad on offense.
Btw...These late games have been brutal. And now we head to the West coast? That sucks.

You mean "too little stock"?
This has held up all season long. We're 26-0 when he scores six or more and 4-7 when he doesn't. That's a heck of an indicator.
There is logic here. When he's hitting his threes, not only is that more points for us obviously, but it also forces the defense to account for him at all times, which can open up driving lanes for his teammates. Just being able to stick him in the corner puts pressure on a defense.

I was thinking about that in the second half when it was getting bleak at times. "Duncan's got over 6, how can we lose this?" )
What is it now, like 22-0 or something?

I read somewhere that the NCAA tournament uses a different basketball (Wilson?) than we usually use.
I wonder also if the sightlines are just odd in that building.
Since BTT, the last 2 weeks they would've practiced with this Wilson ball only. Doubt it has anything to do with the ball.
I don't know if that was part of the plan, but his 11 points helped us stay in the game long enough for Poole to win it.
We were down 6-1 five minutes into this game, having missed every field goal attempt. Then Robinson drilled back-to-back threes to give us a spark.
