My only gripe after this game, is can someone please sit the team down and explain to them that the clock runs after made baskets in the first half. Instead of rushing to throw in the ball to start our shot clock, please hold onto the ball so that we get last shot. Last night was another example, it appears only Connor is aware of this, as he was trying to stop Rebraca from throwing it in with 40 seconds left. Had he just let the ball bounce a couple times and waited three more seconds, we would have had the last shot and Frazier doesn’t get that last shot. Not saying that’s what cost us the game, but we did lose by two. Please, please somebody communicate this with the team.

Definitely need to do that in end of half situation. It's dumb they don't stop the clock under 1 minute at end of first half, but as long as they don't it makes sense to make sure you let the clock run before grabbing the ball and taking the last shot.
 
Definitely the start of a momentum swing. Really wish Bohannon could have hit a couple of shots in the second half.
