Ugh. They should have won this won. And Rex Pfleuger goes from having the game of his life to scoring 0, that’s right, 0 points in this one. One shot, one layup, any shot at all would have won this game. I’ve really found Pfleuger to be a disappointment this year. Too many games he’s a nonfactor. Durham has been a huge disappointment as well. I sometimes forget he’s even on the court.
Mooney is a beast, basically trying to carry the team on his own. Though Hubb has been getting better and Gibbs usually puts in a good showing.
ND has no players who can make a play at crunch time.
