[NU Sports] Not the refs

[Roy S. Lamberton]

The point of the trey is to pull the defenders outside so the backdoor cuts work. 

Wazoos matchup zone, something we used to know a lot about, didn't allow for the cutters
until later in the first half, after we started to hit 3 pointers.

Had a few of those early 3's gone in, we would have had a very different result, with a
lot more scoring inside on layups.

But, they contested the 3's and there were no fouls so the weakness of the 3 pointer was
exposed.

I thought the non-turnover in OT was what killed it for NU, altho we should have been able
to get a cutter or two early in OT.

Yes as I have mentioned many times relying on the trey is risky business. Unfortunately we
missed quite a few open treys in the OT, particularly in the closing minute .  Our 3 point
shooting probably got us to the NIT, but in the end it knocked us out. This is not a
criticism per se ,just confirming my beliefs that significant efforts need to be made on
getting a few big men to enable us to have an inside game

I watched the last few minutes of the 2nd half and overtime.

During that time, I didn't see any obviously bad officiating, but 
I did see a very physical game with the Cats not shooting well
under the pressure, especially in overtime.
