good news and others. With .6 seconds left, Oakland could have gotten off a very good shot. Especially with a guy like Bader.
And, while people love to harp on the last play of the game in a loss, there are many reasons for losing a game. YSU played very good in the 2nd half until the final 3 minutes. The foul by Amiker, or was it Cole, for shoving the player from Oakland was inexcusable. The Oakland player missed both FT's, but Oakland got the ball and scored. That was HUGE.
Did Slocum coach a perfect game? NO. But, neither did Kampe. His technical could have cost Oakland the game. And, then there was the decision to allow KP to score uncontested with 9 seconds left, and the decision not to foul and allow KP a wide open look on a 3 pointer to tie the game? The only problem is KP missed the shot.
KP played a hell of a game, and so did Bader. And, YSU did a very good job of defending Petros. The problem is, there is not much a team can do against a guy like Bader, just as there is not much a team can do against a guy like KP. They know how to score, they make big plays, and they do everything possible to will their teams to victory. Unfortunately, only 1 team can win a game, and once again it was Oakland and Bader getting win over KP and YSU.
Great career for KP. One of the best players in YSU history!!!
