Did autobench cost us?

Obviously DJ Wilson can pick up his third foul and we'd be in deep trouble still but did Wilson being on the bench for seven minutes cost us in a one point loss?

Playing Duncan robinson instead of Mo cost us the game. Not using that timeout cost us the game. Not getting back to back defensive rebounds cost us that game. No the auto bench did not.

I would say coming out flat against a team that was ice cold to start cost us. We should have been in control all game, not playing catch up. Also it would be nice if the refs called an obvious travel call that led to a 3, or called Dylan Ennis at his 7th school for a freaking offensive foul once.

He played a year at Rice, sat out to transfer to Villanova, played two years there, then grad transferred to UO last year. Got hurt, then same NCAA that ended McGary's career because "the rules" gave him a 6th year based on "totality of the circumstances" rather than the actual fucking regulation that two years have to be lost to injury.

I don't know.  I don't think so, but I need to replay all of that game in my head first.

 

It seemed a weird game to me...can't quite put my finger on it.  We missed too many shots we needed to hit, I guess is my first inlking of what happened. Also Moe must've really hurt his hand...not that he was doing much.

We can second guess every decision in a game this close.  Up 3 with a chance to rebound a missed free throw...that was the turning point of the game.  Perhaps Mo should have been in to rebound then call a timeout...offense/defense switch, but really hard to criticize Beilein this game.

My feeling is that these guys were in a state of consummate grace, playing every couple of days for weeks. Suddenly get four days off you can crash and burn, begin to feel those tired muscles, the weight of the world. 

The old matador D reared its ugly head against a pretty quick team, too.

Oregon was absolutely not the better team.  Unfortunately they were tonight.  And were still lucky to win by one.  We win that game 6 out of 10 for sure.

we lost by one point. you can name 2 dozen factors that "could" have cost us the game, but what's the point? we had a magical run, played hard and came up literally inches short (kind of like football). let summer begin!

When DJ missed that layup/put back my wife and I both yelled! Grrrr! Two of Duncan robinsons threes were in and out too.
There's three more coulda woulda shouldas right there!
Really really proud of this team. Hope our two big guys come back next year. Could be another great run if they do!
