Why do we go soft in OT

Huge advantage and we flubbed it. Played a really dumb game overall. Why change in OT
I don't know about going soft in OT, but calling a TO while Boots is driving the lane is questionable.

We played a great game. Hit FT's and we win. It's as simple as that.
Houston was totally on the ropes and we decided to let them regroup and get comfortable when OT began.
We literally took the first half of OT off. Didn't score at all.
Houston never had an answer for A&M's press, and we went away from it. It was the ONLY thing that worked all night.
Can't look at a team with foul trouble in OT and just let them run off 20 seconds every possession. UH wasn't missing shots all night. You have to press them

Yes that is the point I was making yoj made it better letting them regroup then not being aggressive
Just turrible

I think buzz didn't want to have the game end with an unused TO
He should have let boots try to take it to the rim
Should have gone aggressive with dribble drive and get fouls, right from the OT jump.
Could have got more guys fouled out quicker, and played against their bench in the last minutes

Buzz gave the game to UH in OT. No idea what he was thinking.
Love Wade, we wouldn't have been here without him, but the undisciplined play, especially in OT knowing the advantages we have, really hurts.
Yeah OT was crap, we had been killing them for the last few minutes then coasted. Drive at them every play knowing the whole team was fouled out or almost out.
Should have pressured them more in OT.
They wanted to shorten the game with 4 of 5 starters out.
We played into their hands in OT.

Dude, Shead is a senior and probably one of the best PGs in the nation. Was he just going to give the ball up? How were we going to make him? Trap and it's likely a foul and he's shooting easy FTs AND we have guys foul out.
If we had some fouls to give, then sure, you risk it, but we needed our guys to stay in the game, so we played him straight up, hoping we could force at least a miss or two, and he was perfect. Thems the breaks.
Boots missing two FTs early in OT was a back-breaker, kept us two possessions down.
We let Shead drive the lane after all their shooters were out of the game. Gotta force it out his hand
Offensively, however, we could have driven a bit more, but we had some missed layups and TOs and gave up some offensive rebounds that were killer.

Again, how? If your trap, it's more likely we foul and he gets easy FTS and we lose another guy. We lost in OT on offense, not on defense.
I thought we did drive it after he fouled out. We were already down 5 though.

But once we hit OT those missed FTs were a moot point. We played terrible in OT given that UH was down to the water boy.
Obaseki fouling out was a huge deal too. Driving lanes completely change when he's in the game
True, and can't foul a 3 point shot attempt when the shot clock was almost at 0.pasquale said:

Boots missed two FTs almost right away in OT as well.
We pressured enough to foul on a 3.
Seems like we should have not left Wade on Shead.
Sorry but it was not well coached in OT and we squandered the upper hand we had.

Not trying to quibble because I actually agree with your post. I didn't want to expound, but I mean our guys wasted so many possessions that it killed our attacking strategy overall. Kills me because we took it to them and it should have worked. Just flubbed it.

This is nitpicking, but I thought there were opportunities for Hefner and Lawrence to sub in and collect fouls at the end of regulation as opposed to Manny and Boots.

Yeah the first minute of OT was brutal for us:
- Give up a 3 on an offensive rebound
- Wade TO
- Boots missed FT
- Wade foul on 3 with 3 seconds left in shot clock
- Wade misses layup
1 min in and we were already down 4, 30 seconds later we were down 6
I think it just took us too long to recover mentally and emotionally. We had a literal miracle comeback to force OT. Easier said than done to be focused after that. Everyone here had counted it as an L long before the comeback happened. But the guys were out there fighting for their figurative lives. I can certainly see how it's hard to regain focus instantly.
It's unfortunate. I really wanted them to finish it out FOR THEMSELVES, not for me or the rest of the fans.
So proud of them for the grit and determination they showed tonight.

I totally agree. But I think Wade did that one. He was trying to help his team win. It is what it is.

BOOM!
Watching Live streams and people's reactions to Andy Garcia's 3 at the end. "I don't like Houston's body language". Then we went RIGHT back to what got us in the hole. Houston had NO answer. I absolutely would've sent in 2 bench players the 1st minute of OT and pressed like HELL. Fouled out EVERY Houston starter, then put OUR starters back in.
Houston couldn't handle the Pressure, and we eased it up for then in OT.
They hit that 3 right out of the box, we didn't answer and played from behind the whole OT. After just playing from behind for 40 minutes. Pretty tough on the mental and physical.

He wanted the 3 pointer because he was counting on the rebound if we missed it. It didn't work out.
