Hannan misses an open 3 which he had been hitting today. Simon gets the board, but misses the putback which he had been making. They get a 3 on the other end. 64-63 with 1:10 left.
Graves gets it with 5 seconds left.. puts up a contested 12 footer.. he misses.. Cornette with the board, but they steal it from him before he can do anything.
They draw a foul with 21 seconds left, but we aren't in the penalty, yet.
With 7.5 seconds left, they hit a 3.
Rather than call a timeout, I decide to have Waters rush it up the court.. he drives.. kicks it to Cornette who goes for the dunk.. he is fouled and misses the dunk. He misses the 1st FT
He intentionally misses the 2nd, but they get the board. Terrible loss at home. We had this game in hand and let it slipped away.
66-64 loss.
