Our offense just seemed really stagnant and slow throughout the game. The crisp decision-making was not there.
It sucks that in our last 5 Final Four games, we've held a first time lead in all of them (tonight, '14 vs. UConn, '12 vs. Baylor, '11 vs. Texas A&M--10-pt lead with 5 to go and '10 vs. UConn) and we could not close the deal on any of them. I know it's ironic to say with all the comebacks we've had this year, but in these big games, our offense and defense could not maintain it for 40 minutes.
In those five games, we were +15 in pt differential in the first half, but an alarming -56 in the second half
